Below is a list of all qualifying half-court play types (isos, PNR ball handler, off-ball screens, post-ups) the Clippers have used with at least 1 possession per game. The list is sorted by points per possession. Note that it’s still rather early in the season — some plays may not have enough data to qualify, and random noise is very likely to be present.
| Play type | Possessions per game | Points per possession |
|---|---|---|
| James Harden Iso | 2.5 | 1.14 |
| Paul George PNR Ball Handler | 4.9 | 1.13 |
| Bones Hyland PNR Ball Handler | 2.8 | 1.07 |
| Ivica Zubac Post-up | 1.2 | 1.05 |
| Paul George Off-Ball Screen | 2.3 | 1.05 |
| Kawhi Leonard Iso | 3.3 | 1.04 |
| Kawhi Leonard PNR Ball Handler | 4.0 | 0.98 |
| James Harden PNR Ball Handler | 5.5 | 0.97 |
| Kawhi Leonard Post-up | 1.6 | 0.96 |
| Paul George Iso | 3.8 | 0.93 |
| Russell Westbrook Iso | 2.1 | 0.82 |
| Kawhi Leonard Off-Ball Screen | 1.8 | 0.76 |
| Norman Powell PNR Ball Handler | 1.4 | 0.73 |
| Russell Westbrook PNR Ball Handler | 2.1 | 0.67 |

Some notes:
- Many of the most common Clippers plays are rather inefficient
- The most common Iso play used by the Clippers is a Paul George Iso (0.93 ppp)
- The most common PNR play used by the Clippers is a James Harden PNR (0.97 ppp)
- The most common Post-up play used by the Clippers is a Kawhi Leonard Post-up (0.96 ppp)
- Westbrook does not look good
- If we exclude the 1 possession per game requirement, the most efficient play is actually a Paul George Post-up (1.47 points per possession on 0.9 possessions per game)

As a nuggets fan seeing Bones iso as last puts a smile on my face, he could’ve had it all as a Reggie Jackson type for us but had his lil fit and wanted out.
