The Clippers gave training camp contracts to two former first-round picks, but they are likely to be cut?

According to HoopsRumors reporter Luke Adams, the Los Angeles Clippers have completed the signing of Patrick Baldwin Jr. and TyTy Washington Jr., both players received training camp contracts containing Exhibit 10 clauses from the Clippers.

Adams also stated that the Clippers' subordinate team in the NBA Development League already owns Baldwin's NBA Development League ownership, and they can also obtain his NBA Development League ownership by designating Washington as an affiliate player. Therefore, it seems that if the Clippers do not choose to provide two-way contracts to these two players holding training camp contracts before the start of the new season's NBA regular season, then these two players will most likely go to the San Diego Clippers to play after the start of the new season and look for opportunities to return to the NBA.

Badwin was born in November 2002 and is 22 years old, 206cm tall and weighs 100kg. He is the 28th pick in the first round of the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Draft. Baldwin joined the Clippers as a two-way contract player in the second half of last season. After joining the Clippers, Baldwin only got two chances in the NBA regular season, averaging only 3 minutes per game, averaging 3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 0.5 assists per game, and 1 foul, shooting percentage of 100% and three-point shooting percentage of 100%. In the NBA Development League, Baldwin played 16 times for the San Diego Clippers, a subordinate team of the Clippers, and averaged 32 minutes per game. His average of 17.3 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.4 assists, 1 steal and 1.4 blocks, and 1.9 turnovers and 3.3 fouls. His shooting percentage was 49.2%, his three-point shooting percentage was 36.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 59.4%.

Washington was born in November 2001 and is 23 years old, 191cm tall and weighs 88kg. He is the 29th pick in the first round of the Houston Rockets in the 2022 NBA Draft. Last season, Washington joined the Suns as a two-way contract player. He made a total of 16 appearances in the NBA regular season, averaging 7.4 minutes per game, averaging 2.2 points, 0.8 rebounds, 1 assist and 0.2 steals, and 0.2 turnovers and 0.2 fouls. He shot 31.1% from the field, 19% from three-point shooting percentage and 50% from free throws. In the NBA Development League field last season, Washington's NBA Development League subordinate team, the Valley Suns, made 32 appearances, averaging 32 minutes per game, with averaging 21.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, 7 assists, 1 steal, 0.3 blocks, and 2.4 turnovers and 1.8 fouls. His shooting percentage was 46.9%, his three-point shooting percentage was 41.4%, and his free throw shooting percentage was 78.1%.

According to the latest CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement), contracts containing Exhibit 10 can be converted into two-way contracts at any time before the start of the regular season. If Baldwin and Washington are cut by the Clippers next, they will join the Clippers' NBA Development League team's San Diego Clippers after the start of the new season's NBA regular season and can stay in the team for 60 days next season, he will be able to reward up to $85,300 from the Clippers. Considering that NBA Development League players' salaries are very meager, the $85,300 reward can be considered a financial support for them. I don’t know if these two once highly-watched five-star high school students and first-round picks will appear in the NBA next season.
