In 2019, the Clippers got George for 9 and 1 and sent out Alexander. How did they develop later?

First of all, congratulations to Alexander on winning the MVP this season, which is well deserved. In fact, he was already ranked second in the MVP list last season. He is also the number one defender in the NBA. He has entered the team for three consecutive years and averaged more than 30 points per game, which is the future hope of the Thunder. However, Alexander first entered the NBA and played with the Clippers. At that time, in order to get Paul George, the Clippers did not hesitate to give away a lot of chips just to get him, including Alexander, and Garlinari and 7 draft picks were left. So how did the players sent away perform? Who did all these draft picks choose? Let’s review it together below!

Galinali

Galinali was an important space point for the team in the Clippers. His three-point shooting ability was very good. After coming to the Thunder, he also played the performance he deserved, averaging 18.7 points and 5.2 rebounds, and a three-point shooting percentage of 40.5%. He is a player that many teams in the league like. However, he only played for one season in the Thunder, and then he went to the Hawks. In the 21-22 season, Galinali experienced a significant decline, relegating to 11.7 points per game. Since then, he has been frequently troubled by injuries and has only played a small part of the game for several seasons. His last appearance in the league was the Bucks last year, and he faded out of the NBA.

Alexander

At that time, Alexander was selected only with the 11th pick in 2018, and he was traded away without playing for a long time. He was also an important bargaining chip for the Clippers to get George. In his first season after coming to the Thunder, Paul led Alexander to grow rapidly. In the 19-20 season, Alexander averaged 19 points per game. Since then, he has made progress in almost every season. Until the 22-23 season, he averaged 31.4 points per game, entering a team for the first time in his career. Since then, Alexander has gradually appeared in everyone's vision.

Last season was also the year when Alexander officially became the top star in the league. He led the Thunder to ranked first in the Western Conference and averaged 30+5+6 per game, ranking second in the MVP list. That year he was already qualified to get the MVP. By this season, Alexander continued to evolve, and he could score 30+ points in every game without any effort. He also led the Thunder to rank first in the league. This time he deserved the MVP. On the court, he not only can score offensively, but also use defense to drive the rhythm of the game. He is a top star in the league, and I don’t know if the Clippers regret it.

Draft pick: Selected Jaylen Williams

In the 22 draft, the Thunder chose Jaylen with the 12th pick, which is one of the core players of the Thunder. After entering the league, he has also improved every season. Now in his third-grade season, he has averaged 21.6 points, 5.3 rebounds, and 5.1 assists per game, and has 1.6 steals per game. He is an important core of the Thunder on both offense and defense. As a 196-height forward guard swinger, Jaylen can do a lot on the court, and he is also the key to the Thunder being able to rank at the top of the league in recent years.

Choose Trey Man

In the 21 draft, the Thunder selected Trey Man with the 18th pick. In his first season after coming to the Thunder, he was able to average 10.4 points per game. However, at the beginning of the second-year season, his playing time decreased, mainly because Alexander and Jaylen grew too fast, so there was no chance for Trey Man to perform. Later, he was soon given up by the team. Later, when he came to the Hornets, Trey Mann also missed many games due to injury. As a small guard with good potential, he still needs to stay healthy so that he can fully demonstrate his talent.

The Thunder have some signings that have been exchanged for other teams, and the rest have not been fulfilled. But overall, the Thunder have made a lot of money in this deal. If they switch to an MVP, choose a team's second core, and the remaining signings can still create some miracles. On the other hand, the Clippers scored the highest goal after getting George, and never made any breakthroughs since then. This is obviously not in line with their original goal. Moreover, George has left the team later. The Clippers are now in a critical period of future planning. Harden and Leonard are both older. It is time for the Clippers to consider what the team's next goal is.
