The roster is pretty much what we expected. In addition to the draft picks (Thornton and Jordan), second year Clippers (Davis and Conroy), we also have Guillermo Diaz, last year's second rounder who played in the Czech Republic. Kaman is the only veteran, but MDsr had already let it be known that Chris would play on the summer league team.
The roster is filled out by a collection of rookie free agents and European pros.
Radenovic and Abukar both went undrafted last Thursday. They were ranked 72 and 78 respectively on Chad Ford's Top 100 going into the draft, and each of them worked out for the Clippers (no doubt with an eye toward the Summer League).
Mike Gansey played at West Virginia, where he was arguably the best player on their 2006 Sweet 16 team, and went undrafted in the 2006 draft. He was last seen on Miami's summer league team. He can shoot the ball (43% from three as a senior in college), which makes him an interesting commodity.
Daniel Santiago has had a couple cups of coffee in the Assoc., most recently with Milwaukee. He is a key contributor on the Puerto Rican national team that regularly gives the USA fits, and will probably stay in Vegas to compete for them in the Tournament of the Americas. He's a serviceable if unspectacular 7 footer.
Bowman and Sy are unknowns (to me at least). Villeurbanne is a pretty good team in the French league, though not good enough to qualify for Euroleague play.
