Derrick Low, Honeymoon and the Los Angeles Clippers

What an amazing summer of 2013 for Derrick Low!   On June 22, Derrick lead Solar Universe to a 90-74 victory over Clark Hatch Fitness in the Hawaii College Basketball Summer League's season opening game. He traded his basketball uniform for a tuxedo and married longtime sweetheart Kristin Takehara on the following Sunday.  And now he's playing for the Los Angeles Clippers in the NBA's Summer League.

All the best to Derrick.....and Kristin!

Derrick Low
PG 6’2”
Let’s not confuse Derrick Low with Derek Lowe. No, the former Red Sox pitcher is not trying to make it in the NBA at the ripe age of 40 years young. The Clippers just keep bringing in those small point guards. Low, Flynn, and Jerome Randle are all guys that are on the smaller end of the spectrum. Where Low can contribute in Summer League is as a shooter. He was a high-volume chucker in college, averaging 5.5 three-point attempts per game as a junior and 6.8 as a senior. He is accurate though, hitting 39.1 percent of his attempts over those two seasons. The 27-year-old Low has played the past two seasons in the Ukrane. Before that, he spent time playing in both Australia and Israel.
