This entry might come as a surprise to many basketball lovers. But the stats have never lied and they never will!

Although the Clippers lost Chris Paul (before the start of the season) and Blake Griffin (mid-season trade), Austin Rivers, Milos Teodosic and Lou Williams summed up the Clippers isolation firepower on paper.

They managed to score 8.8 isolation points with 8.8 isolation possessions per game during the last season, without having Chris Paul in the rotation. If that's not an achievement to remember from the season, I don't know what is.

They could only afford to salvage their pride on a 42-40 win-loss record, depreciating from the 51 wins in the season before. Nevertheless, the exchange of Teodosic for a big man and the inclusion of two guards in the draft to a roster already posing an abundance of guards will aid the Clippers in bringing their roster to completion in the upcoming season.
