NBA off-season: Top 5 under the radar pickups

Clippers sign Darren Collison for a 2-year deal

Darren Collison

Before signing Darren, the Los Angeles Clippers already was having an A+ off-season, trading Caron Butler and Eric Bledsoe for Jared Dudley and JJ Redick, re-signing Matt Barnes and Chris Paul and appointing Doc Rivers as the team coach.

Signing Darren Collison to a 2-year deal that would only pay him $1.9 million the first season was a freakishly good move by the Clippers. They got a more than able backup point guard to replace Eric Bledsoe and for only $1.9 million, and Darren’s only 25!

Darren Collison has been a starter for all the teams he has played for (Pelicans, Pacers and Mavericks) and has been a solid player throughout his career. He would be a really nice backup for Chris Paul and would also act as a change of pace player as he loves to show off his speed. Put in the fact that he’ll be learning from Paul and Doc, and he could really elevate his game to the next level.
