My big fear with guys who are good but aren’t getting run and might not be good enough is that they go to another team and they’re great. The Clippers have worked their way through a whole lot of marginal players, and it’s hard to think of anybody who blossomed elsewhere. The prime example is probably Joe Ingles, and he’s followed by Isaiah Hartenstein–Hartenstein’s situation was more complex, and it was about the money and roster spot that was given to John Wall. Reggie Bullock had a good career, but he was never great.

Terance is the player who scares me. It seems like he could go to another team and be a starter, score 15+ppg, and make huge contributions. And the Clippers (and Ty) always seem to move him around and slight him.

Moussa played well last night. He’s still got upside, but it seems like his shot is never going to arrive, and that’s the missing piece. He’s never going to hurt us too much or break out in any dramatic way. But good for him.

One thing I like is that DJJ has firmly established himself as the 5th starter. He’s playing really well, and has a good complementary role with the Core Four. I get the argument about Amir, and I’m wondering if he was doing better and getting more looks when Dunn was playing. The idea that KPJ replaces Dunn, Amir, and Terance when the rotation is shortened scares me quite a bit.

It’s all pretty complicated.

I don’t know Eubanks, how he measures up against Bamba, Theis, and Plumlee–all the post-Hartenstein guys. Probably just okay. Played a lot of minutes in Portland 22-23. Didn’t do much on PHO last year. Need defense, rebounding, and some rim protection.
