Episode notes
INSIGHT

Brook Lopez Adds True Center Depth

  • Adding Brook Lopez gives the Clippers true backup center depth and reduces single-player dependency.
  • That likely trims Ivica Zubac's minutes slightly but keeps him a primary interior piece.
INSIGHT

Doubles At Center Are Situational

  • Ty Lue's small-ball preferences make regular Lopez-Zubac lineups unlikely despite occasional usages.
  • Both are drop-coverage bigs, so playing them together creates defensive spacing and mobility concerns.
INSIGHT

Zubac's Minutes Likely Trimmed

  • Zubac's minutes likely drop from last season's 33 to around 29–31 per game with Lopez present.
  • Fans may resist reduced minutes because Zubac represents the Clippers' most consistent building-block big.
