LA Clippers: Ranking every roster move made this offseason

No. 1 best roster move the LA Clippers made the offseason: The Justise Winslow signing
The Justise Winslow signing is the best roster move that the LA Clippers made this offseason.
The Winslow signing comes with little risk. He’s a high-upside guy who has been pretty productive when healthy. Check this out from Joey Linn of Sports Illustrated:
In the 2019-20 season, Justise Winslow held his opponents to 38.7% from the field.

That was 6th best in the entire NBA amongst all players who defended at least 100 shots.
Very solid defensive pickup for the Clippers. https://t.co/gNwItx0C02
Winslow has also averaged up to 1.1 steals per game in a season, as well as 12.6 points, 6.6 rebounds and 4.3 assists.
His best season was probably in the 2018-2019 year, where he averaged 12.6 points per game, 5.4 rebounds, 4.3 assists, and 1.1 steals.
I’ll take that production for sure, especially considering that he shot 37.5% from deep that year. He can play positions two through four, and guard all three positions well.
I’m well aware that Winslow has only played 37 games in the past two years. I’m also well aware that the Clippers are paying him a total of eight million dollars for the next two years.
There’s really no risk with this, and his fit in our system that thrives off of long wings like him is perfect.

I’m really high on this move, and really high on the Clippers’ chances this season.
