At the start of the 2021-22 campaign, the Los Angeles Clippers had three natural point guards on their roster: Eric Bledsoe, Jason Preston and Reggie Jackson. By the end of the season, only Jackson remained because Bledsoe was traded to the Portland Trail Blazers at the deadline and Preston underwent season-ending surgery on his right foot.
Jackson earned Tyronn Lue’s trust as the team’s starting point guard last season, and the hope is that Preston will be ready to play minutes behind him as soon as next season, but according to Andrew Grief of the Los Angeles Times, the Clippers will be in the market for reinforcements at the point guard position this summer:
The Clippers have high hopes for [Preston] with preternatural anticipation and passing.
