undersized?

Maybe at the PG and Center position but then again it's not really a big deal, because they have component defenders....

1-Beverly while undersized isn't a liability on defense.
-Lou williams undersized isn't a bad defender but is instant offense.
-Shamet 6'5 is a combo guard then easily step in depending on the scenario

2- Shamet very efficient player on offense and defense.
- Jerome Robinson(6'5) great shooter

3-Leonard
-Harkless(6'9) great defender, can guard positons 1-4 and some 5.
-JaMychal Green (6'9), great two way player, can hit 3's

4-PG
-Patterson can hit 3's and defend
-Harkless
-Green
-trez

5-Zubac(7'1) this guy is a liability at times, but I expect him to get better
-Trez undersized at 6'8 but he can guard positions 4 & 5 very well. He has a 7'4 wingspan which makes it difficult for other centers


This squad went to playoff last year and rarely got blown out. They usually lost games within a 5 point margin at best. If you think they're overrated then idk what to say because they were hailing ass last year for a team without a true star.....
Now they have two, so they'll be that much better, because this team of journey men and vets are cohesive enough to function without stars.

Cool. Beverly and Lou is a midget backcourt. Their 5 rotation isn’t starting caliber at all. PG and Khawi play the same position and neither one of them brittle nikkas should be playing the four. Last year they overachieved and Doc was forced to switch up. This year the west is better. Sixth seed at best

Lou comes off the bench and Beverly can legit guard anyone on the floor, so him being undersized doesn't mean dikk....


Have you seen the nba in the past few years, the twin towers dynamic is a thing of the past so there's no reason for PG to bang like that in the post. Plus he's a legit 6'9.

Not to mention if PG were to be out muscled by someone, Leonard and Trez can guard anyone. Heck PG is considered a great defender, so i don't where you're getting all this brittle talk from.

Starting caliber? Are fukking serious. You don't even watch games.

You really think Beverly, Trez, Shamet Harkless, and Williams can't start on a lot of nba teams?

How'd they over archive when analyst make remarks all that the bench for certain teams could easily a be .500. Well that's what we saw last year with the clippers.

Jesus where to begin?
Lou is projected as a starter by most charts. He even took a photo with all the starters at media day. Stop letting those couple KD games fool you. He’s a good defender for his position.
nobody is talking about no tim Duncan/David Robinson shyt. PG on record saying he doesn’t like playing the four. Unless Green starting Leonard is at that position and while he can do it I don’t like the idea of him against ADs nightly. I’m clearing talking about their 5s(Trez, Zubac) not their whole 5 lineup. No those guys wouldn’t start on most teams, not even most bad ones. You think Trez starting over Ayton? Or even WCJ? You keep forgetting that their depth that made them good is gone. Couple that with the inevitable games George and Leonard will sit out, the iso offense you gotta run for them, the fact that Leonard doesn’t have a Lowry, breakout Siakim, etc to cover him. Yes they are overrated and sixth seed at best.

I would assume their starting Beverley, PG, Leonard, Green, Zubac with Lou, Harrell, Shamet, Harkless, & whoever coming off the bench. They can always make a trade or get a buyout big later.

Dudes tripping, the Clippers 9 man rotation is lethal. Everybody has a defined role. Only thing lacking is a clear playmaker and probably a little soft on the interior. Toronto's combination of bigs s*** all on the Clippers from which Kawhi may have been adjusted to. Also Lowry was a very good floor general covering up KL's passing deficiencies off a double.

the people they traded werent slouches...

its not like they simply added pieces.. they traded a bunch of them...basically got 2 guys in return...

lakers traded a bunch of guys and ended up with a roster of guys in return through FA

clips will have to hope that their elite wings really are as massive an improvement as the paper says....

they need those guys playing elite both side of the floor every night...its a grind season.
