4 people selected! The Clippers are top 100 with four stars, Harden s ranking has risen sharply, and Zubac creates a miracle

The Clippers formed the Invincible Iron Army during the offseason, and Bill's joining perfectly replaced Powell's function. At the same time, Powell's replacement for Collins greatly strengthened the team's weak No. 4 position. This allowed the Clippers to reach a perfect height in lineup for the first time, point guard Harden and point guard Bill ended, and Leonard returned to his familiar small forward without having to go to the fourth position to consume his body. At the height of Corinth's inside, his projection of opening up space on the outside can make Zubac eat cakes more like a fish in water. The Clippers' lineup has also been recognized by the outside world. The US media ESPN recently announced the top 100 players in the new season, including analysts, and four of the Clippers were successfully selected. They are Leonard, Harden, Zubac and Bill. Among them, Leonard ranked 20, Harden 23, Zubac 36 and Bill 86. Paul is too old and didn't make it to the top 100, among which Leonard's ranking has not changed much. If he is healthy, his ranking is more than 23, but he is just crisp.
Harden relied on his single-core record to lead the team last season, from 41 to 23, and his overall ranking rose nearly double. Zubac is a bit out of the blue. He was not included in the top 100 last year, but this time Zubac directly scored 36. This also made Zubac a player with the largest increase in the top 100 list, making it the best player in the league to improve. This is thanks to Harden's feeding, Zubac also realized his talent on the offensive end. His data soared last season, which was the offensive role Harden gave him.
In 80 games in the regular season, Zubac averaged 16.8 points, 12.6 rebounds and 2.7 assists per game, with a shooting percentage of up to 62.8%. Zubac averaged 17.4 points and 10.1 rebounds per game in the playoffs, with a shooting percentage of 66%. It is worth mentioning that before Harden joined, Zubac averaged 10.3 points per game. In Harden's first season, Zubac's score broke his career record and directly ranked at the All-Star level in the second year. This is the value of Harden. He fed Capela into a quasi-All-star center, and now he creates miracles and feeds Zubac into the top 100 of the league.
It is obvious that when Harden did not join, Zubac was ridiculed as a butterfly player. Because he did not have a good point guard, he also played few pick-and-rolls in 15, and Zubac had a weak presence. But after Harden moved in, Zubac's offense increased dramatically. In this offseason, he still practiced the ability of mid-range and double-teaming, hoping to strengthen his pick-and-roll offense and Harden. The new season is about to begin, and you will be looking forward to how far the Clippers will go, and they do have the ability to compete for the championship. The starter is perfect, and the substitute is just as strong. Leading by Paul, there are Dunn, Jones, Batum, and Dalow.
The Clippers can even make 10 players with high-quality rotation, and their endurance is full in the long season. The Clippers are very good on both offense and defense. The offense end is led by Harden and Paul for 48 minutes, and they always keep a brain on the court. On the defensive end, the Clippers have Van Gundy as an assistant coach. The Yaomai Rockets he built back then are a defensive team. The Clippers have enough defensive resources, and Bill's individual defense is not bad. He just needs a good point guard to pass the ball. The only hidden danger to the Clippers is Leonard's Yin-Yang contract issue, whether it will be detonated at a certain stage of the new season and then cause a chain reaction. In addition, the Clippers are an injury problem. Can the clutch play a healthy season? He missed half a season last season before he could barely finish the playoffs. There are also age and health issues with Paul and Harden, which is what we said, I want to praise Frank. The Clippers’ new lineup has enough rotations that can be a good health protection and be prepared for back-to-back.
