Despite bringing in an entire new group of small forwards during the offseason, the Clippers still seem to have a hole at the position.
"Who will be the starting small forward?" was one of the biggest preseason topics of conversation for the Los Angeles Clippers. Doc Rivers completely overhauled the position in the offseason, jettisoning last seasons SFs (Matt Barnes, Hedo Turkoglu, Dahntay Jones, Jordan Hamilton) and bringing in a new crop (Paul Pierce, Lance Stephenson, Wesley Johnson). Each of the three new guys got time with the starters during the preseason, but Rivers ultimately decided that Stephenson was the best fit with the rest of the starters.
