Updated LA Clippers depth chart after 2021 NBA Draft

Updated LA Clippers Depth Chart

I’ve said since the very beginning of the offseason that the LA Clippers will win the West.

Even with Kawhi Leonard potentially being out for a significant portion of the season, I still think the Clippers will win the West.

This is because Leonard has only suffered a partially torn ACL. It was not a typical tear that I think will require a full 12 months of recovery. I do believe that Leonard will be back by the postseason.

Leonard is the best player in the West, and will lead the Clippers to a Western Conference Championship when he gets back. In the meantime, the Clippers drafted Johnson to help out with the loss of Kawhi’s presence on defense.

The Clips upgraded big-time through the NBA Draft this year, which was necessary. We don’t have a lot of money to spend in free agency this offseason. Getting as much talent as we can through the draft was a great move by the Clippers, and sets them up to not even need to go on any sort of spree in free agency.

Now, it’s going to be about re-signing our guys, and making necessary deals with our most valuable trade chips.
