Diamond Stone, the 6’11” center out of Maryland was selected with the 40th pick in the 2016 draft by the LA Clippers, but has failed to get any sort of consistent time in the NBA, instead spending the last few months honing his craft in the D-League.
Stone took the floor late in the fourth-quarter of the blowout at the hands of the Golden State Warriors, scoring four points with one rebound in five minutes of play after being recalled from the Salt Lake City Stars last week.
Although Stone has played just 20 minutes in total for the Clippers, he has shown signs of being a capable role player for the future, making the most of his limited time to showcase his offensive skills and well-coordinated footwork for a player of his size.
