Stout Front Court

Jalen touches on the front court (16 minutes in) of the Clippers and how they can be a problem for a lot of teams, because of how large their bigs are. Danilo Gallinari, their key free agent signing, can really help the team.

"I’m a fan of their front court, Gallinari, Blake, and Deandre they are gonna be a problem for people."

Their forward starters look to be something very physical and Jalen and Jacoby believe the Clippers will cause some issues for other teams. In a league that is moving to quicker and more athletic players, the Clippers will prosper. Their bigs can run and finish in transition, causing teams to be weary of jumping to defend a lob.  Jalen and Jacoby do not believe they will slide much because the trading of Chris Paul, since they got so much in return.

New look back court

The new look back court of Austin Rivers and Patrick Beverley will mean we can see what Rivers can do in a starting role. Beverley was named to the First Team All-Defens, which means the team will have little to no drop off on the defensive end. Rivers will now be able to help shoulder the scoring load, since J.J Redick signed with the Philadelphia 76ers in the offseason. Milos Teodosic is only mentioned by name and not what they believe his role to be.
