#2 Reggie Jackson
One of the biggest developments of the Los Angeles Clippers' season is the strength of the backcourt. Over the last several seasons, the Clippers have played the likes of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George at shooting guard and small forward. With Leonard expected to be out, the Clippers are now going to be focusing more on a smaller lineup.
Eric Bledsoe was brought over in a trade and is expected to be in the starting lineup. One player who's expected to be a big part of any potential Clippers success this year is Reggie Jackson.

After an eye-opening display of basketball throughout the NBA playoffs, the Clippers made it a point of emphasis to re-sign Jackson in the offseason. The 31-year-old point guard now looks positioned to potentially have a career year for the Clippers and he should be a fun one to watch this year.
#1 Paul George
For the first time since his early days with the Indiana Pacers, Paul George is going to be "the man" again for an offense. With Leonard out, the Clippers are going to run their offense entirely through Paul George.
It could be potentially a massive year for the seven-time All-Star, as George will be motivated to show fans across the league that he can still be a dominant player when needed. Don't be surprised if George also has impressive numbers across the board, as Tyronn Lue has also done a great job of letting George be a playmaker while running the offense.
We saw glimpses of how dangerous Paul George could be during the Playoffs, as he carried the Clippers with some of his impressive performances. It would be great to see PG13's confidence soaring again, as he has the two-way ability to be must watch TV on a nightly basis.
If George can stay healthy and help the rest of his teammates push the needle forward, he could become a sneaky darkhorse contender in the MVP conversation.
