Last year, the Clippers were in transition. It was the first post-CP3/J.J. Redick season, and Blake Griffin was eventually dealt in January. The team failed to make the playoffs for the first time in 6 years, but they remained competitive all year long despite having dumped 3 of their most talented players.
The Clippers used the transition year to get a look at some young guys. Jawun Evans, Sindarius Thornwell, C.J. Williams, Jamil Wilson and Willie Reed all had their time to shine. The most impressive youngster of all, though, was Tyrone Wallace.
