New Clippers Player Reacts to Playing With Russell Westbrook and James Harden
Signing veteran center Daniel Theis after he was bought out by the Indiana Pacers, the LA Clippers have already benefited from his presence in the second unit. Needing a backup center after Mason Plumlee went down with a knee injury, the Clippers brought in Theis, and it has quickly paid off.
With 19 points and 7 rebounds in a win over the San Antonio Spurs on Monday night, Theis was asked during his on-court interview about playing with two high-level playmakers in James Harden and Russell Westbrook.
"It's so much fun playing with four future Hall-of-Famers on the same team. Winning makes it even more fun. I don’t care about the shots. I set screens and get those guys open," Theis said.
While the question was about Westbrook and Harden, Theis gave a shoutout to all four of the future Hall-of-Famer players the Clippers have, which of course includes Kawhi Leonard and Paul George.
The connection between Theis and Westbrook off the bench was incredible in this game, with Westbrook finding the big man for multiple dunks. This is a connection the Clippers will look to continue developing as Westbrook gets more comfortable in his new role off the bench.
Winners of two-straight games after dropping six-straight prior to this stretch, the Clippers will look to keep building in the right direction.
