The Big Question: Which Kawhi Leonard will they get?
Kawhi Leonard has not finished a playoff run with the Los Angeles Clippers since 2020, his first season with the team, when he was a 28-year-old freshly removed from a second NBA Finals MVP performance.
Zubac was a key recipient of the third-most assists from Harden last season, showcasing his efficiency on the court despite a decrease in his scoring numbers. Most of these assists came from passes near the rim and within the 4-to-14 feet range, highlighting Zubac’s ability to capitalize on opportunities. With limited frontcourt depth on the Clippers, Zubac emerges as a valuable center option beyond the initial rounds of fantasy drafts.
