As one of the most likable Clippers — both internally in the organization and fanbase, and external to it as well — Nicolas Batum has solidified another strong season as the Los Angeles Clippers’ unofficial glue guy.
He posted averages nearly identical to those of last season: 8.3 points per game on 46.3% shooting from the field and 40% shooting from three, as well as 4.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 steals, and 0.7 blocks a game. He also finished the season being ranked within the top 5 on the Clippers team for shooting efficiency, assist-to-turnover ratio, and defensive win-shares.
