The news came yesterday just before the (Samuel) Gigot, we suspected it a little but now it’s almost official: Reggie Jackson will be the Clippers’ point guard at the start of the season. The hierarchy is therefore not shaken, and Tyronn Lue still has a pretty incredible range of rotations on his backcourt, enough for, we imagine, a very good night’s sleep right now.
A year and a half now that Reggie Jackson has taken on the leadership role of the Clippers with a smile, and that is not expected to change this season, at least as soon as the resumption. John Wall’s arrival in Los Angeles should have made manager Tyronn Lue think, especially after a pre-season that saw the former Wizards star show off his best team, but so the decision was made to leave with the usual holders to make the Californian bench a rather insoluble mess for the opposing defenses. Last year Reggie validated his resurgence by shooting 16.8 points and 4.8 assists per game, after a monstrous 2021 Playoff, and this season the combined presence of Paul George and Kawhi Leonard should relieve him of a lot of responsibility.enough to make him an even more interesting threat without the ball, when he was one of the (?) main ball handlers of the team last season.
According to league sources, the Los Angeles Clippers will appoint Reggie Jackson as the starting point guard to open the 2022-23 season @YahooSports: https://t.co/oxwdfOLNt4

A starter five who might then look like this: Reggie Jackson, Paul George, Kawhi Leonard, Ivica Zubac, Marcus Morris, it is great but it is above all diabolically lived, while suddenly we will find leaders like John Wall, Robert Covington or Nicolas Batum on the bench, as well as offensive stacks like Luke Kennard, Terance Mann or, above all, a Norman Powell who has – already – a beautiful face of the future 6MOY. John Wall and Norman Powell attacking second units looks promising, and whatever happens the Clippers position themselves before the season starts as a scarecrow in the West, capable of offering a dominant lineup at any time during the match. .
Bonus to the already existing experience and alchemy, therefore, but the Sailboats counter will therefore offer perhaps unparalleled madness throughout the season. A Reggie Jackson all alone with 3 points in the first quarters and a John Wall in hands-free kit mode to relay him? Look at your eyes, look at your fangs.
