Per David Pick, former UC Irvine point guard Luke Nelson will be joining the Clippers’ Summer League team after going undrafted in the 2017 NBA Draft. The London-born guard averaged 16.9 points per game during his senior year at UC Irvine while shooting 45.7 percent from the floor and 43.2 percent from three.
Nelson will have to compete for minutes with Jawun Evans, Sindarius Thornwell, David Michineau, and any other guard that Los Angeles decides to give a spot on the NBA Summer League team. If Nelson manages to impress the Clipper’s staff with his NBA Summer League play, the rookie may be able to earn a spot on the Agua Caliente Clippers.
