The Clippers try out the backcourt core of the University of Tennessee, he is the top No. 1 defender in the NCAA arena?

According to statistics from Hoopshype reporter Alberto De Roa, senior backcourt player Zakai Zeigler, who previously played for the University of Tennessee, has held a trial training for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Zigler was born in August 2002 and is 22 years old, 175cm tall and weighs 78kg. He is a backcourt player with comprehensive attack and defense functions. In the NCAA field this season, Ziegler made a total of 37 appearances, averaging 34.3 minutes per game, averaging 13.6 points, 2.9 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.9 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 3 turnovers and 1.9 fouls. His shooting percentage was 40.4%, his three-point shooting percentage was 33.1%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 81.4%. With his outstanding performance, Ziegler was shortlisted for the third team of the All-American team this season. He was elected the SEC League's Best Defensive Player for two consecutive years, was shortlisted for the SEC League's Best Defensive Team for two consecutive years, and was shortlisted for the SEC League's Best Defensive Team for four consecutive years. These honors are also the greatest recognition of his series of outstanding performances on both offense and defense.

From the perspective of characteristics, Ziegler also has rich offensive means and comprehensive scoring ability on the offensive end. His skills are also relatively delicate, and he can also assume the responsibility of organizing and connecting offensives. Not only that, Ziegler also has excellent personal defensive ability on the defensive end. He can effectively oppress and restrict the ball holder. His defensive awareness is also quite online. He is also the top No. 1 defender in the NCAA arena. However, Ziegler's outside shooting stability is not ideal, and he is very limited in his figure, and he is obviously a little older in terms of age. These factors will make everyone worry about his prospects after joining the NBA arena and his future development limit. He may not be able to maintain the level of the NCAA field in a higher, faster and stronger NBA field.

Judging from the current situation, Ziegler should not have any chance to be shortlisted in this year's NBA Draft, and the Clippers will not choose him in the next draft. But it is obvious that Ziegler is a very distinctive player, and he is indeed able to provide some help and support to the team on both offense and defense. For some teams, Ziegler may have a chance to become a potential contender for two-way contracts. Even if you can't get a two-way contract, Ziegler should have the opportunity to prove his abilities and talents through his performance in the summer league. On the other hand, the Clippers should also be examining his personal abilities to see if he has the opportunity to appear in the team's NBA Development League subordinate team, the San Diego Clippers, next season?
