The worst player in the summer league! Yale s number one star s performance in the Clippers is a disaster?

6:28pm, 21 July 2025Basketball

In the previous NBA Las Vegas summer league game, the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Los Angeles Clippers 105-82. After this game, the Grizzlies' record in the summer league has increased to 2 wins and 3 losses, while the Clippers' record in the summer league has declined to 3 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, the performance of the Clippers' substitute backcourt rookie John Poulakidas was very disappointing. Polakidas played 14 minutes and 12 seconds in the game, made 0 of 7 shots, 0 of 3 shots from outside the three-point line, and did not score 1 point in the game, contributing only 7 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block, including 3 frontcourt rebounds, 1 turnover and 1 foul, with a plus-negative value of -10. Polakidas also got a lot of playing time and shooting opportunities on the offensive end, but it seems that he has no scoring ability at all, and he lacks sufficient passing ability and organizational ability. He has not played his value at all on the offensive end. On the defensive end, Polakidas' performance was also very unsatisfactory, and he also lacked basic defensive contributions. Polakidas lacked sufficient competitiveness on both offense and defense, and he did not play any role on the court, and his poor performance also led to the team's miserable defeat to a certain extent. During the summer league, Polakidas averaged 12.1 minutes in these five games, with averaging 1.4 points, 2.2 rebounds, 0.8 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.2 blocks, 0.4 turnovers and 1.2 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 13%, a three-point shooting percentage of 6.7%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 0%. Polakidas has performed very consistently in these games, stably at an extremely bad level. As a pitcher and scorer, Polakidas made a total of 23 shots in these 5 games, hitting only 4 goals, and 14 shots from outside the three-point line, hitting only 1 goal, and his performance in other aspects is also a mess. Overall, his performance on the court was really terrible and there was no highlight.

Polakidas is a undraft in this year's NBA Draft. He performed quite well in the NCAA last season. He showed his strong scoring ability and shooting ability. He is a very excellent scorer and pitcher. He is the number one star at Yale University and he can also play a decisive role in the team. However, in the summer league, his performance was simply terrible. He did not play any role at all. He could even be said to be one of the worst players during the summer league. With Polakidas' performance during the summer league, it is basically unrealistic for him to get a contract from the Clippers. Even whether he can appear next season in the San Diego Clippers' lineup of the Clippers' NBA Development League team.
