What player will man the 3 for the Clips?

With Matt Barnes being traded to the Grizzlies over the summer the common expectation among Clipper fans was that Paul Pierce would step in and fill in the void at the 3 position. However, with only weeks to go until the start of training camp rumours are starting to swirl about Wesley Johnson, another wing player the team acquired over the summer, being a possible contender to start at the 3.

The reason Johnson may be up for consideration for the starting spot is primarily due the fact Doc would want to save Pierce's legs for the post-season where The Truth can work his magic.

"I don't want to overuse him, I know that. I don't even know how we're going to use him yet. I'm going to play him at (power forward) a lot, but what I want him to be is healthy in the playoffs. So however we can figure that out, that's what I'm going to try to do. I'm really looking forward to it." said Rivers.

If this comes to fruition, he may be placed in a forward power position alongside Josh Smith, Lance Stephenson, Jamal Crawford and Austin Rivers, the report added.

Either way, the fact that the Clippers have this much depth to play around with is likely to make them much more dangerous this upcoming season as they prepare to start the journey again to win the NBA's ultimate goal.
