LA Clippers: 3 players that could have helped this current team
Chris PaulChris Paul would be another great addition to this team. His ability to set up teammates would catapult this team into Finals contention. The game Paul and George could play would be a spectacle to watch because of George’s 3-point shooting ability.
Chris Paul joining this team would mean another shot creator that the defense would have to worry about. The LA Clippers were able to add another shot creator in Morris Sr. but he wouldn’t be the level that Paul would be on.
Paul is a great 3-point shooter also which would give the Clippers the advantage of having a 3-point shooting playmaker right at the point guard spot.
In six seasons with the team, Paul averaged 18.8 points and 9.8 assists. He would be a great complement to this team because he would be the right fit in terms of the scoring load. He wouldn’t be stepping on the toes of Leonard and George.
What was so great about Paul in LA though was Lob City.
That would be missing though because there are no athletes like Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan on the team. Paul would be called on to facilitate more for open shots rather than dunks.
He would be doing things like throwing passes to Leonard in the post, finding George for open threes and playing the screen and roll game with Zubac. The Clippers in the half-court would be more efficient than they already are due to Paul’s great decision making.
