Clippers Star Loves the Offseason Moves

The Los Angeles Clippers finished last season as the fifth seed in the Western Conference. They lost in the first round in a hard-fought, seven-game series against the Denver Nuggets. Last season, Ivica Zubac was one of their best players. He had a career year, averaging 16.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, and 1.1 blocks per game. Hoping to take a step forward and compete during the Kawhi Leonard – James Harden last years, the Clippers made a series of moves in the offseason. And it seems like Zubac loves them.

After finishing second in Most Improved Player of the Year voting, Zubac believes he and the team can take a step forward. Speaking in a recent interview, he said,

“I feel great. The team, I really like the moves that we made. I think the whole team is confident. This roster looks really good on paper. I’m just excited to get it going, for October 1st to start, and to kind of see how it looks in the court, how it plays out. I think we addressed all our weaknesses that we had, and I really like all the moves, so it’s all up to us now.”

After winning 50 games last season, the Clippers added Brook Lopez, Bradley Beal, Chris Paul, and John Collins to their core. The team looks like one of the deepest in the league—but they are also one of the oldest. With their depth, they can probably survive the grind of the regular season. And if they make it healthy to the playoffs, they have a great player in Kawhi who can guide them to the promised land. But theory is one thing, and reality is another. Games are won on the basketball court.
