Life has been challenging for longtime fans of the LA Clippers. Sure, they've been in the title picture for several years now. That was only sometimes the case. Throughout much of this organization's history, the Clippers were one of the worst organizations in basketball.
Look at their history. If the LA Clippers weren't near the bottom of the NBA's standings throughout the 90s, it was an aberration. For the most part, they occupied the league's basement.
That doesn't mean they didn't see talented players come to town. This is the NBA - every team finds talent. Who are the best players in LA Clippers history?
If advanced stats aren't your thing, this article might not be for you. On the other hand, if you see the merit in Player Efficiency Rating (PER), read on. These are the 10 best players in LA Clippers history according to PER.
10. Lou Williams
"Sweet" Lou Williams played for the LA Clippers from 2017-2021. During that time, he'd become synonymous with the league's Sixth Man of the Year award. Wiliams won the award twice during his time with the Clippers.
He's not a player that stats like PER typically reward. Williams was a high-octane volume scorer who could be prone to bouts of inefficiency. Yet, he's the 10th-best Clipper in history according to the stat.
Does that speak to the organization's dubious history? Perhaps. At the same time, don't underestimate Williams - he was a walking bucket. Throughout his career, he earned his place in Clippers lore.
