Expected Role

All in all, we shouldn’t expect Trezz’s role to change much going into this season. He will most likely come off the bench with his partner in crime Lou Williams and will form the most deadly bench in the league. The two will have some help this season with the addition of Maurice Harkless. Depending on who Doc roles with in the starting lineup, Landry Shamet could also see a lot of minutes partnered up with Trezz and Lou.

I fully expect Trezz to be the center that takes the court at the end of the game. He will be part of one of the scariest finishing lineups in the league this season.

  • PG – Patrick Beverley
  • SG – Lou Williams
  • SF – Paul George
  • PF – Kawhi Leonard
  • C – Montrezl Harrell

This group has a ton of both offense and defense and will really put some teams away.

We saw what a year of Harrell dominating can be like, but with more attention being given to the likes of Leonard and George, he can really show out against opponents.

While the thought of him flirting with stardom is enticing, just remember he is an unrestricted free agent this coming summer. Enjoy Montrezl while you can Clipper Nation as the future is always uncertain.
