With the NBA regular season rapidly approaching, it is time to analyze the LA Clippers roster. Next up is point guard Milos Teodosic.

With the preseason already well underway and the regular season just around the corner, we are breaking down the entirety of the Los Angles Clippers roster. Next up is Milos Teodosic.

Last off-season, the Clippers were searching for a playmaking point guard following the departure of Chris Paul. Newly acquired point guard Patrick Beverley was known primarily for his defensive ability, and Austin Rivers is not a true point guard.

Serbian guard Teodosic earned his reputation as one of the best passers in the world. He is a former Euroleague MVP, Euroleague champion, and an Olympic silver medalist.

Even though he was 30 years old, there was understandably a lot of hype when Teodosic signed a two-year contract with the Clippers. He projected to be a great fit alongside Beverley and would give the team the playmaker they needed.

Unfortunately, Teodosic battled injuries all season long and appeared in only 45 games. His excellent court vision and passing ability were on full display when he was on the court, but the concerns about his defense were proven to be well warranted, as well.

Despite his weaknesses, the Clippers were clearly a better team when Teodosic was on the court. The team went an impressive 29-16 when he was active. In comparison, they posted a record of 13-24 when Teodosic was out.

What will Teodosic’s role be this season? What can we expect from him? We will answer those questions and further breakdown Teodosic’s game.
