Yale Super Score will represent the Clippers in the summer league. Can he get the chance to stay in the team?

According to NCAA basketball reporter Jaden Daly, John Poulakidas, a senior winger who previously played for Yale University, has received a summer league contract from the Los Angeles Clippers. Basketball coach Steve Parham later confirmed that Polakidas will represent the Clippers in the next NBA summer league. Born in April 2003, Polakidas is 22 years old, 198cm tall and 93kg weight. He is a wing player with outstanding scoring ability. In the NCAA field this season, Polakidas made a total of 27 appearances for Yale, averaging 31.7 minutes per game, with averaging 19.4 points, 3.3 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 0.6 steals, and 0.1 blocks. He also had 0.7 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 45.1%, a three-point shooting percentage of 40.8%, and a free throw shooting percentage of 89.7%. Polakidas' performance this season has also been fully recognized. He was shortlisted for the first-team team of the Ivy League this season. He is also the MVP of the Ivy League Championship this season, and his overall performance is worthy of recognition.

From the perspective of characteristics, Polakidas is an all-round scorer. He has a wealth of offensive methods on the offensive end. He can use breakthroughs to complete scores, and he also has quite stable outside shooting ability. Polakidas averaged 3.2 three-pointers per game this season. He still maintained a very high three-point shooting percentage in this situation. He is also one of the top pitchers in the NCAA field. His performance in outside shooting can be regarded as quality and quantity guaranteed. However, relatively speaking, Polakidas' passing ability and support ability are relatively average, and his defensive ability is not particularly outstanding. In addition, he is already a senior player, and he is also relatively mediocre in athletic ability. He is not a player with great potential to explore. It may be difficult for him to make great breakthroughs in the future. What's more, other teams in the Ivy League league where Yale University are located have average overall strength, and Polakidas's data also has a certain amount of moisture.

In fact, Polakidas also had a trial training for the Clippers before the draft. After the draft, although Polakidas could not get a contract, at least he also got the opportunity to represent the Clippers in the NBA Summer League. In the next summer league, Polakidas also needs to strive to exert his offensive abilities and characteristics, which will also have a decisive impact on his future career. If he can play in the summer league, maybe he will have a chance to stay with the Clippers? Or at least he has the chance to appear in the NBA Development League next season?
