His unselfishness, spatial intelligence and size already made him a candidate to be a top assist guy. And now that he doesn’t have to share those duties with former Lakers teammate LeBron James, the likelihood that the player who averaged 7.
Iguodala has been hampered by injuries, but as he demonstrated with his lock-down defense on Portland All-Star guard Damian Lillard in the closing seconds of Game 2 of the Western Conference finals, he is still very capable of making life difficult for elite scorers. The Clippers could throw Leonard, Paul George and Iguodala on James every minute of a game. The Lakers could slow down the Clippers for long stretches by having Iguodala harass George whenever Leonard sits for a breather.
It would be a move that could make the contest interesting again because, let’s face it, for much of the last 20 years, it has been disappointing. The top players no longer participate, creativity has dried up and as a result anticipation is low. Williamson’s power and magnetic smile make him a natural to be a favorite to win. And with Jordan Brands’ new golden boy putting on a show in the building that Jordan built , the electricity could return.
