It’s been a good start to the season for the Clippers. Westbrook is 2nd in the league in +/- and is the team leader by being the most aggressive rebounder, playmaker, and defender.

Check the net ratings out for the 5-man lineup. Clippers really found something so far. Zubac is a beast and has been getting forced easy looks by Westbrook.

RoCo is a defensive nightmare with his deflections. He needs to stay as the starter.

It’s pretty hilarious that LeBron is last with his lineup of AD, Prince, LeBron, Reaves, DLo. Reaves is now an overpaid player with a shooting skillet worse than Kennard. Reaves also is not really that much better of a defender than Kennard.

If they were paid the same, Kennard is more useful than Reaves for LeBron.

Let’s not forget LeBron and Westbrook led the league in net rating as a duo in January and February this year. Lakers just plainly misused Westbrook to try to be a floor raiser with Wenyen Gabriel and Lonnie Walker as his main lineup players. Westbrook is a much better player to raise the ceiling like he did with KD and made it to 4 WCF and 1 NBA Finals. He’s elevating Kawhi, PG and Zubac’s game like no other. Just easy buckets.
