Clippers forward Robert Covington, left, and Xavier Moon celebrate after a basket during the second half of their preseason game against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night at Crypto.com Arena. Coach Tyronn Lue said switching Terance Mann, Robert Covington and Nicolas Batum could be something the Clippers do all season. Sort of a power-forward-by-committee approach.
“All three guys bring something different to the table when we talk about defense,” Lue said. “T-Mann can start, he can guard the point guard tonight and guard the four tomorrow. Nico can guard the point guard in the four tonight and RoCo is more of an off-the-ball deflection, steals, weak-side defender type guy. So, they do some different things.Lue sees the bevy of available talent at the No. 4 spot as a good problem to have this season.
What Batum brings is versatility. He can guard one through four, rebound and score. In his three seasons with the Clippers, he has averaged 7.5 points, 4.2 rebounds and added 0.6 blocked shots per game.
