Every NBA Franchise’s All-Time Starting 5

25. Los Angeles Clippers: Chris Paul-Randy Smith-Blake Griffin-Elton Brand-Bob McAdoo

6th Man: DeAndre Jordan

The Paul-Griffin duo represented the Golden Age of the Clippers, making them virtual locks for this lineup. Smith and McAdoo were both elite talents that played for a number of bad Clipper teams. Elton Brand was a part of that transitional period that was responsible for the state the Clippers are in today. Griffin would have to slide into the 3 spot, which is a conceivable move for a player with his skill level, but dampens the spacing on the team. This team would almost exclusively need to work in transition, as a half-court set would feature too much clutter near the basket. They have enough talent at the guards and bigs to feature a solid inside-out game, but don’t have that elite wing you need to match up against the LeBron’s, Jordan’s and Kobe’s of the world.
