Experience doesn't get you in the playoffs. The Clips had zero experience last year and just missed the playoffs, without their best player.
As long as they have Odom back, they should be expected to make the playoffs(and Ill make the guarantee that they do).
Where the experience helps is IN the playoffs. But, no matter who they get, the team is not ready to conted for a title. Even if they get a vet, their core of Brand/Odom/Kandi will still have no experience. Until THEY get experience, the team won't contend for a title, but they will be able to make the playoffs. But each time they do make it, they are adding their own experience, and thats what matters. And by the time they are ready to contend, Jaric/Dooling will have experience.
And of course, it doesn't matter since they won't be PG's in the true sense of the position. Odom handles most responsibilities on the offensive end, so their inexeperience isn't a big deal. It's kind of like Richard Jefferson for NJ last year. He played a big role on the team, but it was in a way of things without having the ball(energy, defense, etc). Thats the type of role they would have. A semi important role, but not important in terms of making decisions with the ball on offense. I know they play different positions, but Dooling/Jaric would not be your true PG cuz they wouldnt be handling the ball as much as Odom would, which puts them on the wing, like Jefferson.
And I'll throw one piece of info out there that throws all of this so crap - Tony Parker made SA a better team and got them into the playoffs(I know they made it the year before as well, just saying he was the leader - the PG and primary ball handler - and they still had a great record). He was a teenage rookie. Dooling has 2 years of NBA playing experience, and Jaric has international championship experience and is 23. He was a young, inexperienced PG and he got his team in the playoffs. There is no reason to think it can't happen with the Clips and their youngsters.
