Which players are now on the clock ??

Keyonte and Clayton are duplicates.

So are Sensabaugh and Tanje.

So are Cody and Ace.

So I think this year’s Summer League is about to get REAL interesting.

It’ll likely be our version of the “Hungry Game”.

I don’t think it’s nearly that complicated. Veterans on expiring contracts or non-guaranteed deals are all on the clock.

Collins and Sexton are both likely to be traded. Clarkson might not have much of a market, but he could get bought out if no trade materializes. Juzang is likely safe. Springer, Mykhailiuk and Martin are all probably gone.

Sensabaugh and Keyonte need to show they’re worth keeping around - especially if the vets get traded to clear playing time for young guys.

Tanje is likely a 2 way / exhibit 10 guy. He’ll play for the Stars this year.

Cody and Ace (and Hendricks) should all be able to play together. I don’t see the team giving up on any of the three top-10 picks until at least after this upcoming season. They’ll all get prioritized opportunities to play.

if both cody and ace become really good players, they can absolutely play together. they are both wings, every team starts two wings.

Yeah we all know Collins , Sexton and Clarksons are set to be moved.

It's a no-brainer.

I thought the OP’s question was aimed more at the glut of young guys we have on the roster, and which of them could be on the move.
 
The players who are on the clock are John Collins, Collin Sexton and Jordan Clarkson.

Among young players, all of them need to prove themselves to the new front office over the next year. Some of these older rookies are more developed, but they might also be close to their ceiling at this point as well. This is going to be another "Let's see what we have" year, while we cruise to under 25 wins.
 
Keyonte has proven he can be an NBA rotation player. Now the question with him is role, efficiency and contract. He's in the same position that Walker was in at this point last year. This year is big for setting the direction of his career.

As a 3rd-year player, Sensabaugh needs to keep working on his body, play defense and make quicker decisions while he keeps knocking down shots.

Taylor needs to take it slow and build back his confidence. If he can hit a stride by later in the season, that would need to be considered a success.

Flip needs to add strength and play enough defense to stay on the floor.

Cody needs to show proof of life this year.

If Collier could shoot markedly better, that would be great.

Has Key proven that? Subpar efficiency and worst defensive player in the NBA, it doesn't inspire confidence. My question is, if you gave Juzang the same minutes and leash as Keyonte, could he produce similarly or more? I suspect he could.

Keyonte isn't a lead guard, but his offensive role and efficiency come into focus when he plays off the ball, takes open shots and open lanes, and he doesn't force shots off the dribble. Yeah, he needs to play some defense.

nah. he doesn't have key's shot creation skills, playmaking/ball skills or passing ability. he's a better shooter.

if Key had juzang's pure shooting with his other offensive skills, he'd be killer on offense.

Keyonte has proven no such thing.
 
I hope Walter just comes in and destroys it. I'd love for him to take all of keyontes minutes.

Brice and keyonte have to show significant improvement this year or they'll definitely be on the outside looking in
