Clippers 2024-2025 Player Preview: Trentyn Flowers

Clippers 2024-2025 Player Preview: Trentyn Flowers

Our player preview series for the 2025 Clippers continues with Jordan Miller, the Clippers’ exciting second-year wing.

Basic Information

Height: 6’7”

Weight: 204 pounds

Position: Shooting Guard/Small Forward

Age: 19

Years in NBA: Rookie

NBL Stats: Averaged 5.5 points, 3.1 rebounds, 0.6 assists, 0.2 steals, and 1.5 turnovers per game in 14.4 minutes per game on 43.6/35.7/64.9 shooting splits in 21 games played

Contract Status: Two-way deal

Expectations

Zero. Zilch. Nada. As an undrafted, 19-year-old two-way on a
team that still wants to win games, there should be no expectations for Trentyn
Flowers at the NBA level. He’s going to spend the entire season in the G-League
when healthy (he had wrist surgery this summer), and that’s for the best.

Strengths

Flowers played in the NBL last year, a solid international league but not remotely close to the NBA or even Euroleague. He was penciled in as a starter, but was quickly demoted to a bench role, and was completely out of the rotation by the end of the season. The reasoning was simple – the team was trying to win games and Flowers was a detriment to that.

At this point, Flowers is just a raw ball of clay for the Clippers to mold. He has good size and is a solid athlete for the wing, even at the NBA level, but does not possess a ton of tangible basketball skill. His shooting looks fine, but the sample size was miniscule (10-28 on threes). Really, he does not have any strengths at the professional level yet. And, as a 19-year-old, that’s not the end of the world.

Weaknesses

Flowers’ biggest weakness is probably playmaking/passing. In over 302 minutes in the NBL, he had just 13 assists, a pitiful number for a wing. Flowers also turned the ball over 31 times in those minutes, not an egregious amount, but one that does give him an unenviable assist to turnover ratio of under 1:2. Those are bad signs for any player, much less a non big man.

Flowers is also quite bad on defense, which is going to be his biggest obstacle to getting playing time in the NBA. Usually only exceptional offensive players get playing time if they’re awful on defense, and wings are the least likely such role for that to happen. If Flowers is ever going to be an NBA player, he’s going to have to get stronger and sharpen up on the intricacies of advanced defense.

Summary

Trentyn Flowers is the least likely player of anyone on the
Clippers’ roster to make a meaningful impact this season. A raw 19-year-old,
Flowers will hopefully benefit from some structure in the G-League and time
working with the Clippers’ coaching staff to nurture his talent and be ready
for NBA minutes in years to come. It would be truly stunning if he played much
in the NBA this year.
