Terry Maston
SF/PF – 6’8, 225lbs – Born 4th September 1995
Agua Caliente Clippers
Picked up for a month after being waived by the team that drafted him, the Stockton Kings, Maston played only 3 minutes in 3 games before being waived. He latterly joined the Saint John Riptide in the NBL Canada, averaging 19.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.4 blocks and 2.7 turnovers in 31.5 minutes of 27 games to close out the season. With long arms, smooth …

Ryan Boatright
PG – 5’11, 170lbs – Born 27th December 1992
Agua Caliente Clippers
Boatright started the season with Agua Caliente through a local tryout spot, was traded to the Texas Legends in December for J.J. Avila, then left in January to finish the season with Unicaja Malaga in Spain. He played well for Malaga, averaging 7.3 points, 3.3 assists and 1.0 steals in only 14 minutes per game in 8 ACB contests to close out the season, yet a …

Evan Taylor
SG – 6’5, 204lbs – Born 11th April 1996
Agua Caliente Clippers
There is always plenty of room in the college game for the defensive specialist who rarely scores. Be it at point guard, on the wing or in the frontcourt, it is a fairly normal sight; after all, the talent thins out considerably after the top few teams, even in the lower ends of the power conferences. Such players are genuinely helpful, but their professional prognosis is …
Desi Rodriguez – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Desi Rodriguez
SF/PF – 6’6, 240lbs – Born 23rd March 1996
Agua Caliente Clippers
6’6 and 240lbs are not the usual sort of measurements you will see at this level. But then, Desi Rodriguez is not the usual sort of player.
A favourable interpretation of his skill set would highlight his versatility. Rodriguez can both face up and back down; while never the best spot-up jump shooter, and even less of one off the dribble, Rodriguez is nevertheless best when …

Tyler Roberson
PF – 6’9, 227lbs – Born 27th November 1994
Agua Caliente Clippers
Roberson rejoined the Clippers in January after having initially moved to Greece to begin the season, catching on with defending Basketball Champions League champions AEK Athens. If you or your loved ones fancy reading more about AEK Athens’ title defence and the compelling protagonists within it, then why not all gather around the fireside and read this scintillating piece of online content from a tremendous author …

June 20th, 2019
Ray McCallum
PG – 6’3, 190lbs – Born 12th June1991
Agua Caliente Clippers
McCallum joined the Clippers in February after beginning the season with Turkish team Darussafaka, with whom he had averaged 9.4 points and 4.1 assists per game in EuroLeague play, his second consecutive season in the world’s second-best league. Of course, his –24 net rating in EuroLeague play speaks to how well both his and Darussafaka’s season went up there; back in the EuroLeague after a year away, …
Marc Loving – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Marc Loving
SF/PF – 6’8, 220lbs – Born 16th September 1994
Agua Caliente Clippers
Loving has an enviable physical profile. Standing 6’8 with very long arms, he has a long languid stride, leaping ability and some straight-line speed, looking every inch the prototype NBA forward when measured solely athletically.
It is therefore a shame that he has yet to discover quite what to do with it. Loving’s game unfortunately is not so much categorised by that athleticism as it is …
Manu Lecomte – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Manu Lecomte
PG – 5’11, 175lbs – Born 16th August 1995
Agua Caliente Clippers
In Lecomte’s first professional season – one which subsequently saw him sign with Spanish team Murcia after the G-League season ended – Lecomte showed the same package of offensive skills he had for two years at Miami, two years at Baylor, and a decade with Belgium.
To overcome such a small stature relies upon great quickness and excellent shot-making ability. Lecomte has both, and to shoot …
Demarcus Holland – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Demarcus Holland
SG – 6’4, 179lbs – Born 2nd March 1994
Agua Caliente Clippers
Holland has just completed his second season of professional play, and his second in the GLeague after a full debut campaign with the South Bay Lakers that resulted in a summer league stint for the parent club. From an NBA point of view, there is a lot to like in his physical profile.
Despite being small for the shooting guard position, Holland is an excellent athlete …
Brandon Fields – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Brandon Fields
PG/SG – 6’4, 195lbs – Born 13th August 1988
Agua Caliente Clippers
After three years away, Fields came back to the G-League this season, perhaps looking for some stability in a professional career that has thus far taken him to about 176 different countries (give or take). Stability in turn is what he gave Agua Caliente this season at both guard positions.
Never the best shooter with that Eric Gordon-looking release of his, Fields spent more time …
Anthony Bennett – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
Anthony Bennett
PF – 6’8, 235lbs – Born 14th March 1993
Agua Caliente Clippers
This may have been the year that Anthony Bennett finally became the player he could always have been.
Drafted on account of his perceived combination of size and perimeter skill, Bennett has over the last two seasons become an absolutely excellent shooter. That true shooting percentage of .721% is not being done through dunks. Rather, the vast majority of Bennett’s field goal attempts are jumpers, often …
J.J. Avila – 2018-19 G-League Player Profile
June 20th, 2019
J.J. Avila
PF – 6’8, 250lbs – Born 11th October 1991
Agua Caliente Clippers
Notwithstanding the sample size, if Avila can continue to shoot the three-point shot as well as he has done this season, he adds a further dimension to his paint-based interior game, a game that already makes him a threat at this and any comparable professional level.
With a big, wide, strong frame, Avila’s origins are to be found in the paint, where he has skill to …
