He is simply called the “professional scorer.”
And that truly is what Lou Williams has been for the Clippers during this strenuous season of losing and falling teammates.
Williams’ job has been to come off the bench and provide the Clippers with a scoring burst.
He has not disappointed.
Williams has scored in double figures in all but one of the Clippers’ first 14 games.
He has increased his scoring average to 17.5 points per game, second-best on the team.
He has detonated on the Oklahoma City Thunder for 35 points off the bench and on the Philadelphia 76ers for 31, also in a reserve role.
