Clippers head coach/general manager Doc Rivers has done a remarkable job of rebuilding the team's bench so far this summer, but he may not be finished quite yet. L.A. has one remaining vacant roster spot at its disposal, and Rivers seems keen on filling it with a big man. We've already heard murmurs regarding the potential interest in bringing Glen Davis back, but another former Clipper is also apparently on the club's radar, according to Yahoo's Marc Spears:
Kings free agent center Ryan Hollins is getting interest from Sacramento, Washington & the Clippers, a source said.

Hollins, a Pasadena native and UCLA product, was with the Clippers from 2012-2014 before leaving for Sacramento prior to last season. In 46 appearances for the Kings, Hollins averaged three points and just over two rebounds in under 10 minutes per game. Despite being super tall (7'0") and fairly springy, he's never even averaged one block per game in any of his nine previous NBA seasons.
If Hollins were to return for the Clippers, he'd be battling with Cole Aldrich for minutes as DeAndre Jordan's primary backup. While he's pretty clearly lacking in tangible basketball skills, Hollins is tall and plays with a bit of an edge, so I suppose you could do worse with your 15th roster spot.
