Brandon Boston Jr., a healthy Jason Preston and seven rookies are among those on the roster for a Clippers team that plays the first of its five games in Las Vegas on Saturday night.
Weighing in at 198 pounds, 10 heavier himself, Brandon Boston Jr., had sauntered over moments before, in midseason form with the media: “Hellooo. How y’all doin’?”
“All those young guys have been in the gym,” Lawrence Frank, the Clippers’ president of basketball operations, said on NBA draft night. “We’ve had anywhere from nine to 11 guys every day in the gym and it’s an unbelievable atmosphere … they come in and they work. Our performance staff is doing a great job with our players and it’s a great balance between veteran players, young players. You just see an urgency and a drive.
Shaun Fein, the Clippers’ lead player development mind, will be the Clippers’ head coach in Las Vegas, where he intends to have his group of mostly newcomers playing a recognizable brand of Clippers basketball: “We want to play fast but under control, if that makes sense? Again, a big emphasis on getting into the paint, creating closeout situations, putting the defense on their heels. And then just playing together … getting everybody involved, getting everybody touches, get paint touches.
