Congratulations to the Clippers! They really made big news this summer, the 27+12 center Bamba officially joined, this guy is definitely not here to play soy sauce. Some say the Clippers lost George, but looking at the current roster, it's really eye-catching. As soon as the latest 15-man roster came out, it felt like the Clippers had no shortcomings.
Talking about the point guard position, Harden leads, this man doesn't need to say much, the old fox on the court, and the handsome beard off the court. Although Wei Shao may be traded in the future, his passion on the court is still the same. Hyland and Dunn aren't vegetarians either. Dunn's defensive prowess is outstanding, especially good at biting opponents, and fits perfectly with the Clippers' tactical needs. Mann and Powell are also strong players in the quarterback position, especially Powell, who can often explode at critical moments, which makes people sigh at the potential of this guy. Porter Jr. is a master of chaos, and as long as he can defend himself, his offensive firepower should definitely not be underestimated.
At the small forward position, Jones Jr.'s defensive ability is top-notch and his shooting is also stable. Although Batum is a veteran, he has a lot of experience and is absolutely reliable in key moments. Leonard is undoubtedly the main force of the power forward, this man who integrates offense and defense, no matter which team he is in, is the core. Although Tucker is a little older, he still has some value as a substitute. However, the Clippers also need to find a younger and more dynamic bench for Leonard, which is something that needs to be addressed in the future.
In the center of the field, the combination of Zubac and Bamba is exciting. Zubac's consistent performance has been recognized by everyone, and Bamba's addition is even more powerful. Bamba, this guy, who is 2.13 meters tall and has long arms, is simply a giant on the inside. He is definitely a big killer on the defensive end, and he also has a certain ability to play in the low post on the offensive end. Last year with the 76ers, Bamba had limited playing time, but every time he appeared, he made a big difference to the team. Now that he's coming to the Clippers, he's going to be a wall on the Clippers' interior.
Bamba's career has had its ups and downs, but his talent has always been bullish. During his time with the Magic, he had many highlights, such as 27 points and 12 rebounds against the Timberwolves and 21 points, 12 rebounds and 6 blocks against the Cavaliers. In this way, the Clippers have picked up the treasure. The addition of Bamba not only improved the interior strength of the Clippers, but also raised the team's overall defensive level to a higher level.
As soon as the Clippers' 15-man roster came out, it was really eye-catching. Point guards Harden, Westbrook, Hyland, Dunn, point guards Mann, Powell, Porter Jr., Christie, small forwards Jones Jr., Coffey, Batum, power forwards Leonard, Tucker, center Zubac, Bamba. The configuration in each position is quite balanced, and it feels like the Clippers have no shortcomings.
The combination of Harden and Leonard will be a double insurance for the Clippers on the offensive end. Harden in particular, with the Clippers he has more balls and the stats are sure to go up. And Leonard's stable performance will be an important guarantee for the Clippers to impact the championship. Mann and Dunn's defensive ability provides a reliable guarantee for the team. The defensive combination of Jones Jr. and Bamba made the Clippers' defense impregnable. Powell and Porter Jr.'s scoring explosions added more variables and possibilities to the team.
Although the Clippers' roster has begun to take shape, it may be adjusted in the future. The fate of Westbrook, Hyland, Coffey and Tucker is still unknown. The team needs to bring in another strong substitute at the power forward position to add depth and stability to the squad. However, regardless of what the future holds, the Clippers have shown their quality and determination. The goal of the new season is very clear, which is to win the championship.
