What Makes you think that Keyon Dooling is ready to start in the leauge? I am sure you will say that Odom will handle most of the ball handeling, but that has never really worked for the Clippers. Odom is a great defender, but he is not the quickest of players, so how do you expect Odom (6-10) to guard a SG (usually 6-6) Sure it creates a matchup problem at the other end, but this doesn't utilize Odom's shotblocking, and the faster smaller players will blow right by him. I do not think the Clippers will be able to make the playoffs with Keyon Dooling starting. He has proved hardly anything, and gained hardly any playing experiance. Also, what happend to Corey Maggette? Did he vanish without bringing in a player? I also think Q Richardson is able to do more than get 14 ppg. If this is what the Clippers starters would average, they would score 67 points a night for the clippers. Shaq and Kobe combine for that on a good night. If you add the bench players scoring averages to the 67 the starters get, that is only 92 points in 212 of the 240 minutes per game. That leaves 28 minutes to other players. (Pike? Rooks? Maggette?) I think the Clippers are a great and explosive offensive team, and that they can average way more than 92 points per game.
