With Tyronn Lue at the center of the LA Clippers' spotlight during Chris Paul's departure, Bones Hyland, a former player for the franchise, defended the head coach's personality and relationship with the team. Hyland praised Lue heavily and ensured that Clipper Nation knew his perspective on what it was like to be led by him.
Lue evidently has a friend-like bond with his players, and this does a lot for the locker room, fostering clear, concise communication, comfort, and an open space.
Hyland is the perfect person to speak on Lue during a time like this, as when he was a Clipper, they had several conversations off the court that made the rising star comfortable with being out of the rotation.
