Clippers inside star: Our lineup is very strong on paper, I am full of expectations for the new season

Los Angeles Clippers inside star Ivica Zubac recently gave an interview to reporters, in which he also talked about the team's series of operations during the offseason.

In the previous offseason, the Clippers signed Chris Paul, Bradley Beal, John Collins and Brook Lopez. When talking about this series of signings, Zubac made it clear: I feel great now, and I also particularly recognize the team management's series of operations this offseason. The entire team is full of confidence. On paper, this lineup is really strong and has strong competitiveness. I can't wait to start the new season. I want to see how everyone performs on the court and see how our brand new team will be united. I think the team has made up for all the shortcomings, and I fully support every step of the management. Now, it depends on our own.

In the NBA regular season last season, Zubac made a total of 80 appearances in 82 games, averaging 32.8 minutes per game, averaging 16.8 points, 12.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.1 blocks, and 1.6 turnovers and 2.1 fouls, with a shooting percentage of 62.8% and a free throw percentage of 68.1%. In the playoffs, Zubac made a total of 7 appearances, averaging 36.6 minutes per game, with averaging 17.4 points, 10.1 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 0.7 steals and 1 block, and 1.6 turnovers and 2.7 fouls. His shooting percentage was 65.9% and his free throw shooting percentage was 53.8%. Zubac's performance in the last season has indeed made great progress. He is no longer the blue-collar center that everyone thinks of. He can provide all-round support to the team on the offensive end. He has excellent scoring ability at the basket, he also has certain passing ability and support ability, and he can also provide great support to the team in terms of interior defense and rebound protection. In the playoffs, he was able to play his role, and his comprehensive abilities were indeed quite outstanding.

The Clippers also strengthened their positions in various positions this summer. Paul is a traditional No. 1 player. His arrival has given the team's second team a backbone, and he can also relieve the pressure of James Harden; Bill is a No. 2 scorer, and his arrival can fill the shortage of staff in the No. 2 caused by Norman Powell's departure; Collins is a No. 4 player with super athletic ability, and he can be perfectly compatible with Harden and Paul; although Lopez is older and has declined, he is also an inside player with good frame protection ability, and he can also relieve Zubac's pressure. I don’t know what the Clippers, who have super strong paper strength, will perform in the new season.
