The LA Clippers may have the best roster in the league

From top to bottom, you can make the argument that the LA Clippers have the best roster in the league. After adding John Wall this offseason, this is how their depth chart (or rotation) stacks up heading into training camp:

PG: Reggie Jackson/John Wall, Terance Mann

SG: Paul George, Norman Powell, Luke Kennard 

SF: Kawhi Leonard, Marcus Morris 

PF: Nicolas Batum, Robert Covington 

C: Ivica Zubac 

That’s 11 quality NBA players. Quite frankly, I’m not sure there’s another team in that NBA that is that “deep” on paper. And that’s not even counting a player that has shown flashes of potential like Amir Coffey.

Clippers head coach Ty Lue will have his hands full in figuring out his rotation during training camp, but that could be a good problem to have. If Lue can make it gel together early, the Clippers will have the potential to be a special team. And it could result in a special ending.
