In recent news that is probably not altogether surprising, Kawhi Leonard reportedly wants the LA Clippers to upgrade the point guard position this offseason.
That came from Stephen A. Smith on “First Take” last week, and frankly, that report is beyond plausible because it fits nearly every offseason analysis about the Clippers.
Perhaps it was the wackiness of 2020, but current starting point guard Patrick Beverley’s durability came under scrutiny this season, and Beverley’s status as a defensive specialist screams he’s a player who is a natural fit as the backup at the position, especially at this point in his career.
