The most straightforward weakness that the Clippers have is at starting power forward. Their current starter, Maurice Harkless, is averaging just 5.5 points and 4.0 rebounds in 22.8 minutes per game and shooting 33.3% from three. Essentially a small forward playing out of position, Harkless is just 6’7” and is primarily utilized as a perimeter defender—something that’s largely redundant on a Clippers team that features Patrick Beverley, Paul George, and Kawhi Leonard.
