The Los Angeles Clippers are still waiting for the conclusion of the Kawhi Leonard investigation. For all intents and purposes, all sides are continuing, as the deal will go through. This means that the Clippers will have Brandon Ingram and Gradey Dick on their roster instead of Leonard.
It also means that they don't have an open roster spot. But that is not stopping them from being active on the market. In fact, they are actively pursuing several players who are still available.
Among the free agents who are known to be on the Clippers' radar, who should GM Lawrence Frank prioritize? Let's rank them in order of worst to best fit.
3. Bennedict MathurinThe Clippers reportedly want to bring Mathurin back for at least another season. While this is understandable since they just acquired him in February, Mathurin is not a very good fit in this next iteration of the Clippers.
With Darius Garland, Keaton Wagler, and Brandon Ingram as the three primary creators on the perimeter, the Clippers don't have much use for Mathurin. The 24-year-old shooting guard doesn't space the floor, as he is a poor jump shooter. He is best with the ball in his hands, but taking the ball out of Garland and Ingram's hands and giving it to Mathurin doesn't make much sense.
