The Clippers signed former Yale No. 1 star, but his performance in the summer league is a disaster?

Basketball

According to Paul Garcia, a reporter from The Spot Up Shot, the Los Angeles Clippers have signed Jahmyl Telfort and John Poulakidas, who were previously in free agency, with a training camp contract.

Polakidas was born in April 2003. He is 22 years old, 198cm tall and weighs 93kg. He is the undraft in this year's NBA draft. In the NCAA game last season, Polakidas played 27 times for his Yale University, averaging 31.7 minutes per game, with averaging 19.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 0.7 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 45.1%, his three-point shooting percentage was 40.8%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 89.7%. Polakidas' performance this season has also been fully recognized. He was shortlisted for the first-team team of the Ivy League this season. He is also the MVP of the Ivy League Championship this season, and his overall performance is worthy of recognition. Polakidas is an excellent pitcher and scorer in the NCAA field, and his performance on the offensive end is still quite eye-catching. However, after all, the league where Yale University he played for was mediocre, and Polakidas was older and had mediocre talents. It was very reasonable for him to eventually become an undraft.

Porrakidas also represented the Clippers in the NBA Summer League, but his performance during the Summer League was simply disaster level. Polakidas averaged 12.1 minutes in these five games, with averaging 1.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks, 0.4 turnovers and 1.2 fouls, shooting percentage of 13%, three-point shooting percentage of 6.7%, and free throw shooting percentage of 0%. Polakidas's efficiency on the offensive end is 3 of 23 and 15 of 15. He also has no passing ability or organizational ability, and his performance on the defensive end is also a mess. It can be said that his performance during the summer league was useless and had no highlights at all.

combined with Polakidas' status as a undraft, coupled with his outrageous performance during the Summer League, we can basically be sure that what he got from the Clippers should be a training camp contract with Exhibit 10 clauses, and he should be cut by the team soon. According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement), if Polakidas is cut by the Clippers next, and then join the San Diego Clippers and stay in the San Diego Clippers for 60 days, he will be able to get a reward of up to 85,300 US dollars from the Clippers. I don’t know if this once Yale’s number one star can adjust his form and perform better in the NBA Development League.
