Revelation of the Clippers’ season, Terance Mann is stirring up the hype ten days before the resumption. While some announce it as one of the great stories to come, the player took the opportunity to settle scores.
If you’ve been following Clippers games regularly, and even if you haven’t, you may not have heard of a certain Terance Mann. The LA nugget has done Tyronn Lue a great service this season, but it was especially in the Playoffs that he shone brightly. With Kawhi Leonard absent, the sophomore found himself catapulted at the hottest moment and he was not afraid to go to the fight. Who forgot this incredible match to send the Jazz on vacation? 39 points at 15/21 shooting including 7/10 from the parking lot. Probably one of the most memorable encounters of the last postseason. With all of those memories still in our minds, it’s easy to catch fire imagining the progress of the former Florida State alumnus, especially with the Klaw still out for a few months, there’s a way to scratch a few additional responsibilities within the team. In a recent poll, the League’s General Managers predicted that Mann could explode this season.. If some would have used this vote as an additional motivation, the swingman rather took the opportunity to tell some truths.
[Terance Mann, interrogé en conférence de presse sur le vote des GM, ndlr] “Did you say GMs?” Those who haven’t drafted me? Those who see me as a 48 pick? I don’t give a fuck. “
Difficult to contradict him from this point of view. Being boycotted forty-seven times two years ago to finally get brushed in the direction of the grain, the jacket reversal is validated with distinction. Mann does not play for the approval of those who doubted his talent but he can use this lack of consideration as good fuel to always go higher.. It remains to be seen if he will be able to live up to expectations because, if he was seen as a stranger last season, he now has a real role to play in the success of his team. The latest news is that Mann is unlikely to nab a part in the starting five as Eric Bledsoe will digitally replace Kawhi, with Reggie Jackson on the backcourt and Paul George on the wing. It’s up to him to force his coach to review his plans.
The GMs have given their opinion and Terance Mann should be a nice surprise this season. Happy ? Not really. It’s all well and good to congratulate him but it had to be thought about earlier, like at the time of the 2019 Draft for example.
