LOS ANGELES — Since the first practice of the season, coach Tyronn Lue has talked about the Clippers’ abundance of scoring options. One night it could be Kwahi Leonard or Paul George who takes charge. Another time it might be guard John Wall or Norman Powell who steps up.
But having several scorers also has had its drawbacks in terms of turnovers. Lue said the Clippers have a lot of players who can score from off the ball, such as Powell and Luke Kennard, and not one dominant force who dictates play on the floor, and that leads to mistakes.
“We have six or seven guys that we initiate offense through, and so when you have that, it’s going be a high turnover risk,” Lue said. “But we got to be better with it and not be casual.”
