Los Angeles Clippers

Lonzo Ball is a great point guard and could be a great player for years to come with the Clippers. Next to Paul George and Kawhi Leonard, two big-time scorers, Lonzo Ball could thrive as a facilitator for these two guys and add onto the defensive efforts of this team.

Patrick Beverley and Lou Williams only bring defense and scoring respectively to the table for the Clippers, which may not be the best thing for a championship level team. Beverley has shown the ability to knock down some shots and score at times, but he is not a great offensive player. The same goes for Lou Williams but being the opposite, as he can be great offensively and a target by opponents on defense. Not to mention, both guys are in their 30’s and on the back-half of their careers.

The Los Angeles Clippers are legit championship contenders with Kawhi Leonard and Paul George leading them, but they need to acquire a better point guard in order to contend with the defending champion Lakers. Lonzo Ball is not only capable of being a facilitator, but he can also thrive as being a secondary passer and playing off-the-ball. 

The best part about Lonzo Ball’s game is that he is an extremely unselfish player who is always willing to make the extra pass. With the Clippers having shooters like Paul George and Luke Kennard sitting on the wing and corner, that extra pass could wind up being a major difference in this Clippers’ offense.

He is also a player that the Clippers could invest in moving forward since they do not have much young talent on their roster. The average age of this year’s Clippers team is 27.9 years old, making them one of the older teams in the NBA.

With virtually no draft capital over the next few years and little to no young talent, Lonzo Ball could definitely be a guy they look to re-sign next offseason. If Lonzo Ball is indeed available via trade, the Los Angeles Clippers should definitely look to acquire the 23-year old guard.
