As the LA Clippers head into their upcoming series with the Utah Jazz, we take a look at how Raymond Felton will contribute.

After spending much of the first half of the season being heralded as the best pick up  by Doc Rivers this past offseason. Felton was not only the a factor on the offensive end but on the defensive end as well.

Then he hit a wall.

Towards the end of the season his shots stopped falling, which led to him receiving less minutes. Part of the reason for his loss in playing time had to do with his shot not falling, but the main reason was Austin started receiving more minutes.

With Austin Rivers expected to miss at least 3 games in this first round matchup Raymond will have to not only play more minutes but a lot more will be asked of him.. He will have to step up on both ends of the floor to try and fill the void left by Austin.
