The Clippers are trying to train a Spanish inside star. Has his draft market really fallen again and again in the past two years?

According to HoopsHype reporter Alberto De Roa, the Los Angeles Clippers have tried out the inside star Izan Almansa, who plays for the Australian NBL team Perth Wildcats this season.

Armanza from Spain was born on June 7, 2005. She was just over 20 years old. She is an inside player with good scoring skills at the basket and certain characteristics on the offensive end. According to data from the joint trial test session before the NBA draft last year, Almansa's bare feet are 206.4cm, her wingspan is 215.9cm, her standing height is 279.4cm, and her weight is 99.6kg. In the NBL field this season, Almansa made a total of 33 appearances for his Perth Wildcats, with averaging 15.8 minutes per game, with averaging 6.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, 0.7 assists, 0.4 steals and 0.3 blocks, and 0.5 turnovers and 1.6 fouls. His shooting percentage was 51.1%, three-point shooting percentage was 33.3%, and free throw shooting percentage was 53.4%. Almansa has switched to the NBL field from the NBA Development League team this season. He also hopes to use his performance in the NBL field to gain more attention. However, his performance this season is still very average. His scoring ability has not been fully displayed, and his problems on the defensive end have been further exposed.

In the NBA Development League last season, Almansa played for the Ignition Team with a large number of young talents. In the NBA Development League, Almansa made a total of 48 appearances, averaging 27.3 minutes per game, with averaging 10.5 points, 7.1 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 0.8 steals, and 0.7 blocks. He also made 0.9 turnovers, shooting percentage of 54.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 20.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 54.5%. We can also feel from Almansa's performance in two seasons that he has not made substantial progress this season. He is considered a player with good scoring ability, but his strength in this area has never been fully demonstrated. In turn, Almansa's footstep movement speed and athletic ability are not ideal. His many dynamic physical test data are at the bottom of the game among all players, and his problems on the defensive end have been constantly exposed in these two seasons.

Armansa was once considered a strong contender for the first round pick or even lottery in the summer of 2023. However, because his performance was indeed not ideal, his draft market also fell again and again. Judging from the current situation, he was selected at most at the end of the second round, and he is likely to eventually become a undraft. During this period, Almansa also continued to try out for various teams. In addition to the Clippers, he also tried out for the Houston Rockets, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Portland Trail Blazers. I wonder how Almansa performed in the trial, and whether he could be successfully selected in the second round zone?
