Clippers coach Tyronn Lue has so many versatile players, but can he find a way to get them all sufficient playing time?
To fans who left Crypto.com Arena this week unsure what to make of seeing the Clippers, at mostly full strength, play the half-resting Denver Nuggets, take heart: You are not alone. Several of the most experienced Clippers acknowledge that when they watch preseason basketball across the NBA, with its varying lineups and levels of intensity, even they find it difficult to gauge what might be real, and what might prove to be really misleading.
“… And that's what matters the most for us.” Despite the preseason auditions, Lue is not picking a starter at forward from solely that trio of Mann, Covington and Batum, he said Tuesday. Others who play the position include Martin and Marcus Morris Sr., the former starter the team nearly traded in July before discussions broke down, and who has yet to play in a preseason game but worked on offensive plays with the presumed starters during a recent practice.
