It would definitely be nice though to get a bit more balance in the lineups. Bench guys who aren’t as awesome at scoring but who can at least make a spirited effort defensively would be a welcome sight.

“ Rather than focus on how candidates would have solved last year’s problems, the Clippers asked prospective coaches to treat the team and its future as a blank canvas. How they would get the most out of a roster that is still expected to enter next season as a prime Western Conference contender? Lue, according to people with knowledge of the talks, discussed a controlled offense that would emphasize speed and ball movement instead of heavy use of isolation. Defensively, the team is expected to again lean on one-on-one play while mixing in various zone looks. Lue is considered highly adaptable with his style.

Lue’s year as an assistant helped him build relationships with Leonard and George. Yet the Clippers sought a coach capable not only of showcasing their stars but of guiding emerging contributors and young players too. They include starting center Ivica Zubac and guard Landry Shamet as well as young players such as guard Terance Mann and center Mfiondu Kabengele, a first-round draft pick in 2019.”

I think there’s plenty of defensive talent on this team that needs a proper scheme to maximize it. So if Rex was responsible for all the needless defensive switching and the PnR assignments then I hope he isn’t brought back.
