Marreese Speights adds versatility to the front court with his ability to shoot the three pointer. With the Warriors he came through in live game situations when it counted the most. He is a player you don’t want to leave open because he will sink the three ball.

Speights is good with his high key shooting. Not only can he play defense, his offense is his best asset. He is also an excellent passer which is what the Clippers need.

They need players who pass to the open play and who shoot when open.

Speights is the guy.
