Re: Clippers sign Angel Delgado
The Sixers worked out the best player at his position in college hoops. Did anyone care?Delgado is 6-foot-10 and 245 pounds, solid and thick with muscle. In his senior season at Seton Hall, he scored 13.6 points and pulled down 11.8 rebounds a game, had a remarkable performance in an NCAA tournament loss to Kansas – 24 points, 23 rebounds, five assists – and won the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Award, given by the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame to the top center in college basketball. He might have deserved the award more the previous season, when he averaged more points (15.2) and more rebounds (13.1) and shot better than 54 percent from the field.Since finishing his career at Seton Hall — he graduated in May with a degree in social and behavioral sciences — Delgado has been working with a personal coach to try to improve his outside shooting. Similarly, Pirates coach Kevin Willard had him practicing three-pointers and perimeter jump shots during the 2017-18 season, knowing that Delgado had to develop that ability if he were to have a lengthy pro career. But Delgado was so refined as a post player and so important to Seton Hall in that role that he had only so much time and opportunity to diversify his game.
“I keep doing what I’m doing best,” Delgado said. “You need a guy like me on a team, no matter what kind of game you play, no matter if you’re shooting five-pointers. You still need a guy to get you the ball and get you offensive rebounds. I’m getting a lot better. I’m getting a lot of shots up. But I can never forget what I do best. That’s rebound and play tough in the paint.”

Great news. I happened to see this article at philly.com and was hoping Delgado would slip through the draft. That the Clips pounced on him with some 2-way guaranteed dough before the ink was even dry on the 2nd round is a feather in the FO's cap.
With the DJ era coming to a close, Delgado made a great choice too.

Based on how our previous two-way players panned out, I'm really excited about this guy.

Hate to say it but he was terrible tonight. No energy, slow, and bad instincts. But i'll reserve judgement until the next game
