77. <p>The Los Angeles Clippers haven’t always been competitive in the league, but take their all-time roster and you get a line up that could compete with anyone.</p> <p><span style=. 1970 - Present. Western Conference. Los Angeles Clippers. 13. player
PG. There haven’t been many outstanding point guards in the history of the Clippers, which is why it was so exciting when they acquired Chris Paul. It was the start of things turning around, and putting him on an all-time roster could finally get him to take a team to the highest level.. Point Guard. Los Angeles Clippers. CHRIS PAUL
He is best remembered for being a journeyman of sorts on teams like the Bulls and Lakers, but his time spent with the Clippers was still valuable. Having him in the same backcourt as Chris Paul could be deadly for defenses to try and defend against, and his wisdom — even early in his career — is as valuable as his production on the court.. Shooting Guard. Los Angeles Clippers. RON HARPER. SG
SF. A two-time All-Star, Danny Manning nearly averaged 20ppg and was a force down low when it came to collecting rebounds. He wasn’t a top-notch rebounder, but he was a solid defender on the wing and is a piece that CP3 has been missing on his current teams in Los Angeles.. Small Forward. Los Angeles Clippers. DANNY MANNING
Los Angeles Clippers. ELTON BRAND. PF. Before there was Chris Paul failing to win titles with the Clippers, there was Elton Brand. He may have played during a massive lull in the Clippers franchise history, but that didn’t stop Brand from being an absolute stud for the team and racking up stats that still look impressive today.. Power Forward
Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, eat your hearts out. Both men have played center for the Clippers and neither are as talented as Bob McAdoo was in his day with the Clipps. Jordan is the latest hope for the Clippers, but he can take a page or two out of McAdoo’s book if he truly wants to be the next great big man for Los Angeles.. Center. Los Angeles Clippers. BOB MCADOO. C
Next: Los Angeles Lakers
