Clippers need James Harden to help their X-Factor make the leap to All-Star status

As Ivica Zubac was just knocking on the door of his first All-Star nomination last season, his chances of making the cut in 2026 have steadily declined. He is just not taking as many shots as an All-Star center should, and this is partially dependent on James Harden and Tyronn Lue, who have both left the task unattended.

In fact, Zubac has only attempted at least 15 shots twice this season, despite playing every contest. One of them should be taken with a grain of salt, as the only reason it was an outlier for the Croatian Star was that their matchup with the Dallas Mavericks went to double overtime.
