If there’s one area of the floor where the Los Angeles Clippers really need depth, it’s at the center position. Behind starting big man DeAndre Jordan, the Clippers have just Boban Marjanovic and Montrezl Harrell — who is best suited as a backup 4. Something else is particularly lacking from this group as well: A three-point shot. The trio combined for 1/7 shooting from deep last season.
In today’s ever-evolving NBA, bigs will often take just as many — or more — three’s per game as the guards. With that, centers must become more mobile, more agile, and better perimeter defenders.
