Clips Nation Roundtable: Grading the Mike Scott Signing

Eric Patten: B

Scott shot a career-best 40.5 percent from deep last year, his only season in Washington. As a backup 4 who can stretch defenses, he’s a good fit for the Clippers. Oddly, he might have been an even better fit for the Lob City era teams that struggled to find useable backup bigs and tried every conceivable long-shot as a stretchy 4/5. Scott makes the Clippers deeper and can be a part of some interesting offensive lineups. Defensively, at least Scott is not a liability. He was not a plus-defender last year, but his defensive rating was better than Kelly Oubre, among other Wizards regular reserves.
