With one starter departed over the summer, and three possible choices to pair alongside Kawhi Leonard, James Harden, and Ivica Zubac, head coach Tyronn Lue initially had limited time to narrow down the last two nominees. Beal ultimately had to win the job over Kris Dunn, who was next to Harden for 58 games last season. Bradley Beal will be the Clippers starting shooting guard, says Tyronn Lue. Furthermore, Justin Russo mentioned via X(formerly Twitter) that the final spot will go to Collins or Derrick Jones Jr. In this case, Lue should stick with defense and appoint Jones Jr.
