PLAYA VISTA — Former USC guard De’Anthony Melton sat in a chair smiling in the middle of the Clippers’ film room, almost giddy while pondering a possible version of his future.
“Man, after practice if I could go home to my little brother, my mom, that’d be crazy,” Melton said. “All my resources are here, and it would be an honor just to play in front of all my friends and family.”
Melton was asked what it would be like to play for the Clippers following a workout with the team on Monday. Despite not playing competitively for the past year, Melton thought the workout felt all too familiar.
