Roster Situation – where to from here…….
Season over,
draft run and done where do we go from here in the oh so fine city of Angels...
GM Andrew has
quite a bit of tinkering to do to get this once proud franchise back into shape
for the season 2016/17 campaign...
Comings and Goings
So the post
season has seen the departures of DeMarre Carroll, Frank Kaminsky, Boris Diaw,
P.J. Tucker and Tibor Pleiss
And the
additions of Cody Zeller, K.J. McDaniels, Tyler Ulis, Joel Bolomboy, Ante Zizic,
Tim Frazier and a few 1st round draft picks
The Hole
The one thing the
team is missing (and seems to be habitual) comes in the form of what looks to
be 30-40 million in salary, with plenty of cash (GM) the LA team will most
certainly be a player in FA despite a poor season ending record.
Current roster situation and needs
Point Guard
PG – Jerian
Grant, Tyler Ulis, Tim Frazier, Briante Weber
While still
rather inexperienced at the point guard spot the Clippers are brimming with youthful
exuberance. The hope is that all four young men can grow their games throughout
the season. News that Tyler Ulis will receive a 1st round contract
was a massive boost.
Shooting Guard
SG –
D’Angelo Russell, Alec Burks, Devin Booker, Archie Goodwin
While GM Andrew
is satisfied he has filled the SG role for future seasons the makeup of the
backcourt will depend greatly on where Dangelo Russell fits weather it is as a PG
or SG. Archie Goodwin is the man on the outside looking in his future in LA
remains in doubt.
Small Forward
SF –Rodney Hood, K.J.
McDaniels
With the
recently departed DeMarre Carroll out of the picture the SF position will be Rodney
Hoods to lose, KJ will offer defense and energy off the bench for the short
term.
Power Forward
PF – Cody
Zeller, Nikola Pekovic and Joel Bolomboy (rights)
Off season acquisition
Cody Zeller has dibs on the starting PF role with Nikola Pekovic hopefully
returning to full fitness after a lengthy layoff. It remains to be seen if Joel
Bolomboy will make the roster
Centre
C – Festus
Ezeli, Clint Capela, Ante Zizic (Stash)
Festus Ezeli
will be brought back in FA to man the center position with Clint Capela with a
starter to be decided during training camp. Ante Zizic may be stashed overseas
for a season
Rumour’s
·
Festus
Ezeli receiving trade interest from multiple teams, will he be on the LAC
roster in 2017
·
LAC
hoping to stash Ante Zizic for the season
·
Six
first round picks in 2017 draft, can LAC trade for a star?
· Briante Weber set
for a break out season?
