Darius Garland reveals what fans should expect from his game

ByNBAUSA


The Los Angeles Clippers before the trade deadline, they did very well for themselves, getting outstanding returns for James Harden and Ivica Zubac after being cornered. Clippers fans, however, will have to wait a bit before Dario Garlandthe man acquired in the Harden trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers is making his debut for the team as he continues to recover from a toe injury that has plagued him for much of the past eight months.

Garland is a two-time All-Star who is in the midst of his prime, giving the Clippers a young piece to build the team around. He is only 26 years old and is a dynamic general on the floor who can shoot from all sides of the court, and when he is healthyhe should help keep LA afloat as they look to pass on the worst possible pick to the Oklahoma City Thunder.

“I’m super excited, really. … I just want to make (Kawhi Leonard’s) life a little bit easier, trying to get him some open shots. Try to get everybody some open shots, really. Try to pick up the pace a little bit and try to win some games as much as we can,” Garland said in an interview with Lauren Sports Rosen of the FanDuel Network.

“(I’m) somebody that’s just trying to win basketball games, trying to have fun with it.

Garland has to be very excited about the opportunity ahead of him with the Clippers. He was the scapegoat for the Cavs’ playoff failure, and now at least he’ll get a fresh start in LA.

The 26-year-old floor general will hold the keys to the Clippers’ offense, and he won’t be sharing the backcourt with another frequently used player like Donovan Mitchell. And to top it all off, he’ll be playing with a chip on his shoulder The Cavs thought Harden was an upgrade over him.
