Summary
The LA Clippers are entering a new era without Kawhi Leonard, and while they lack championship buzz, they’re poised for surprises—especially if Derrick Jones Jr. stays healthy. Slotted as a bench weapon this season alongside stars like Ingram and Hachimura, Jones Jr. could be the unsung defensive anchor the team desperately needs. With elite length, athleticism, and an average of one steal and block per game, he’s arguably the second-best defender on the roster—and could log 25-30 crucial minutes nightly to elevate the Clippers’ defense and make them competitive every night.
