There are not many people playing basketball! The maturity of the Clippers backup wing rookies looks quite good?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Boston Celtics, playing at home, narrowly defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 121-118. After this game, the Celtics, who had won two consecutive victories, improved their record to 7 wins and 7 losses, and their ranking was promoted to 11th in the Eastern Conference; while the Clippers, who had lost 7 of the last 8 games, had a record of 4 wins and 9 losses, continuing to rank 11th in the Western Conference.

Although the Clippers lost the game, the performance of the team's substitute forward rookie Kobe Sanders is still worthy of recognition. Sanders played 22 minutes and 37 seconds, making 4 of 7 shots, 2 of 3 from beyond the three-point line, and 1 of 1 free throw. He scored 11 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 steal, including 4 offensive rebounds, 1 turnover, and 1 foul. The plus-minus value was +16. Sanders has good shooting ability on the offensive end, he also scored a lot of points, and it seems that he also has certain passing ability and support ability. Sanders' ability on the defensive end is not outstanding, but at least he can maintain his performance at a high level. Overall, Sanders' performance in this game can be regarded as both offensive and defensive, and he also achieved quite good results. It's a pity that the performance of the Clippers' starting lineup is really not ideal, and his series of efforts have not been able to help the team reverse the situation.

Sanders was born in May 2002. He is 23 years old. He is a senior forward player from the University of Nevada selected by the Clippers with the 51st pick in the second round of this year's NBA draft. According to data from the joint trial physical test session before the draft, Sanders' barefoot height is 200.7cm, his wingspan is 203.8cm, his standing reach is 261.6cm, and his weight is 92.2kg. In the NCAA last season, Sanders played 33 times on behalf of the University of Nevada, where he averaged 31.7 minutes per game. He averaged 15.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 1.1 steals, and 0.3 blocks per game. He also had 1.8 turnovers and 2.2 fouls. He shot 46% from the field, 34.2% from the three-point range, and 79.5% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Sanders has only had 4 playing opportunities in the first 11 games, averaging only 13.8 minutes per game. He averaged 5 points, 1.8 rebounds, 1.4 assists, and 0.6 steals per game. He also had 1 turnover and 2 fouls. He shot 39.1% from the field, 35.7% from the three-point range, and 66.7% from the free throw line.

Sanders has actually not been able to get too many playing opportunities so far this season. Recently, because the team is really full of injuries, he has finally begun to get some opportunities to enter the rotation. Judging from Sanders' performance in these games, he is actually a very mature player. He can provide a lot of help and support to the team on the offensive end. His role on the defensive end is also higher than everyone imagined. He has also proven that he is capable of playing the role of a qualified rotation player in the team. But the problem is that if the Clippers weren't full of injuries, Sanders wouldn't have gotten so much playing time and performance opportunities. After the core players return, maybe he will return to the bench?
