6. Los Angeles Clippers

Projected Starting Frontcourt: Luc Richard Mbah a Moute/Wesley Johnson, Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan

When you have the combo of Griffin and Jordan, you’re going to be pretty high in the rankings. Jordan has a game-changing defensive impact and snatches up rebounds on a nightly basis. Shooting 70 percent from the field, while murdering people like Brandon Knight night in and night out, it’s safe to say that Jordan’s impact is felt.

Griffin is still the athletic freak who can score 20 PPG and grab 9-10 RPG per night, too. At times he doesn’t seem as engaged, but when he is going he’s extremely difficult to stop. The small forward position is pretty meh.

Mbah a Moute has no offense to provide, but is a good wing defender and Wesley Johnson is pretty average at everything on the court. Griffin and Jordan, along with CP3, are what makes this team go and, when they get going, they are scary good.

Next: No. 5
