What coaches and players say about roles, minutes, gameplans and development.
The Clippers are testing whether Hachimura can switch and guard one through four.
โWe were just trying to figure out if he can switch and guard one through four. He's shown he can guard point guards a little bit. We know he can guard fives and centers because he's strong and he's big.โ
Lue wants rebounders to push the ball in transition.
โHe likes when we get the rebound. He wants us to push the ball. I get the rebound, I can push the ball easy.โ
The Clippers plan to build their identity around faster play, cutting and full-court pressure defense.
โI think we want to be a faster playing team, and we want to be a cutting team. Offensively, not just stand and watch. Defensively, I think we got to get the floor a little bit, try to pick up full court to create turnovers, speed teams up.โ
