Los Angeles Clippers
PG – Patrick Beverly: 78
SG – Avery Bradley: 77
SF – Danilo Gallinari: 77
PF – Tobias Harris: 82
C – Marcin Gortat: 77 (Did you remember that he was on the Clippers? I honestly had forgotten.)
The Clippers have been sliding for several years now, and if I may say so, I am happy about that. The league just feels funny with the Clippers competitive (and the Suns not, sooooo).
No longer is L.A. Lob City with Chris Paul, Blake Griffin, and DeAndre Jordan all out of town. They have been replaced in the lineup by Patrick Beverly Tobias Harris, and Marcin Gortat.
Meh.
Head-to-head with the Suns, the Phoenix starters win the individual player rating in four of the five positions, the only one that favors the Clippers being power forward with Harris over Ariza. That said, Booker far exceeds the player rating of Harris 87-82.
In the video game I could see the Suns sweeping the Clippers this season. In real life, I expect the series to tie at 2 or Phoenix win it 3-1. The Suns have a stronger starting lineup and easily the best individual player.
Total Rating Score: 391 Average starter rating: 78.2
