The Clippers must upgrade to the frontcourt, 19+8 players become the preferred one, the Celtics 25-year-old substitute deserves attention

Obviously, the competition in the Western Conference is very cruel. The Clippers performed well this year, but after a hard fight in the first round, they still lost to the Nuggets. Combining the age of main players such as Kawhi Leonard and James Harden, unless the Clippers are completely rebuilt, the lineup must be made more reasonable and balanced so that they can continue to compete for the championship.

Then the Clippers must upgrade their frontcourt strength during the offseason, and the media listed three players. Jazz strongman John Collins became the preferred choice, and the Celtics' 25-year-old substitute Nemias Quita and the Trail Blazers' defensive gate Tumani Kamara is also worth paying attention.

If you can defeat John Collins, or a player of the same level, then the Clippers' offseason operation will be almost perfect. After all, John Collins has qualified starting skills. In the Jazz team this season, he averaged 18.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block per game. Although the Jazz's record is at the bottom of the West, so you can't take the data of bad teams too seriously, but John Collins is still very capable. After all, not every player can get the data. In the first round of the playoffs, the main problem of the Clippers was that they were beaten by Aaron Gordon. Except for Ivica Zubac, other Clippers players, as the fourth position, are not tall and sized. Although John Collins also has the problem of strong offense and weak defense, he has the standard inside player figure. Whether as a substitute behind Ivica Zubac or two players appearing together, it seems that they can have better results.

Of course, the Clippers have limited salary space. In the high probability of bidding for other teams, it seems that you are too optimistic to expect John Collins to reduce their salary to join. Of course, even if you can't beat John Collins, there are still some players in the market that are more powerful than fame, such as Nemias Quita. With the Celtics with sufficient reserves, he can only be considered the third center at most. But in fact, Nemias Quita averaged 5 points and 3.8 rebounds per game in the regular season, and her overall shooting percentage was nearly 70%. As long as he was given enough opportunities, there would be no problem for him to be a substitute center.

As for Tumani Kamala, he is a typical 3D forward. Tumani Kamala's average of 11.3 points and 5.8 rebounds per game is not particularly outstanding, but he is very good at seizing opportunities. Speaking of players like Tumani Kamala, they are easily favored by the Clippers' coaching staff, especially Nicholas Batum is old, and the Clippers seem to need a replacement.
