Guillermo

Diaz

Diaz, the Clippers’ second-round pick in 2006, played in the Czech Republic and Greece last season and averaged 10.2 points and 3.2 rebounds in five games for the Clippers’ summer team in Vegas. He played three college seasons at Miami and will try to make the team’s final roster as a backup point guard.

Diaz played in only one game with the Clippers this year, and has no fantasy value.

The team has no immediate plans to fill the now-vacant 15th spot on their roster, and we can’t imagine Diaz having any fantasy value this season.

Frahm’s contract would have become guaranteed on Thursday, and waiving him allowed the Clippers to sign guard Guillermo Diaz to a 10-day contract, which helps them in the wake of Brevin Knight’s stress reaction to his fibula.

With Brevin Knight and Sam Cassell always gimpy they decided to add some insurance, but Diaz should have no fantasy value.

He may not make the Clippers’ team next season due to their current roster. If he does play in Europe, the Clips would still retain his draft rights.

The Clippers are hoping Diaz can improve his skills this season and so far, the combo guard is doing great, leading the team with 21.4 PPG, while shooting 55 percent from the field and 46 percent from beyond the arc. He’s also averaging 4.0 rebounds and 3.1 assists. Diaz will have a chance to win a job with the Clippers next season.

Diaz, who was taken in the second round by the Clippers, will begin playing for Nymburk, the defending league champion, according to his high school coach and mentor, Art Alvarez. He’ll likely play in the NBA at some point, but wasn’t going to see much playing time behind Sam Cassell and Shaun Livingston this season.
