  • Darian Vaziri: Starting matchups suggest the starters were Kris Dunn on Luka, Derrick Jones Jr. on Austin Reaves, Isaiah Jackson on Walker Kessler, Garland on Jalen Williams and Hachimura on Matisse Thybulle. The host also says Dunn and Jackson are starting. at 27:44
  • Darian Vaziri: Pick-and-roll coverage on Luka Doncic: the Clippers did not switch. Isaiah Jackson ("Ajax") and Garland hedged on the ball screen and then recovered. at 6:25
  • Darian Vaziri: The host says the hedge-and-recover coverage worked well. Luka had 11 of the Lakers' 21 turnovers and scored 23 points on 8-of-21. at 6:50
  • Darian Vaziri: Isaiah Jackson ("Ajax") had 6 points, 6 rebounds, 3 steals and 3 turnovers in 28 minutes. The host says he turns the ball over too much for a center, a pattern since the preseason. at 28:13
  • Darian Vaziri: Host's reading of Lue's comments: the team is built to push pace, and Kris Dunn and Isaiah Jackson start so the defense can get stops and easier transition baskets without Ingram. at 38:41

  JJ's analysis: unlike Isaiah Jackson, who simply rolled, Ivica Zubac may be more stationary or hover rather than pop. When he rolls, it may be less for lobs and more for bounce passes from Haliburton.

  Clippers center minutes go to Brook Lopez and Isaiah Jackson until Konan Niederhauser returns, with Baba Miller possible after that. Dan doesn't think the team can count on 48 combined minutes from Jackson and Lopez.

• Podcast Tony East, Locked On Pacers · Analysis · Oct 15 around the league

  Tony East calls the Zubac deal a 'starting center for starting center trade', because Isaiah Jackson has started at center for the Clippers this preseason ahead of Brook Lopez.

  • Darian Vaziri: The host says Isaiah Jackson's pick-and-roll chemistry with Garland is why Jackson is starting. This is the host's view, not a coach statement. at 31:08

  • Isaiah Jackson has been named the Clippers' starting center; the host covered this in the previous episode. at 3:02
  • Host opinion: Isaiah Jackson should be the starter. The host calls this one of the big preseason takeaways. at 31:45
  • Host analysis: beyond lack of height, especially with Isaiah Jackson starting, the team lacks grit, physicality and, to a degree, athleticism. at 8:06
  • Host analysis: neither center is a great rim protector. Lopez is now above average at best. The host thinks Jackson is a good rebounder for his size but limited at 6'8". Lopez boxes out but doesn't jump. at 3:56
  • Host analysis: playing with Isaiah Jackson gives Garland a lob threat and more of a rim roller. at 17:32

  “Biggest Takeaways From LA Clippers Preseason” · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Clippers · 15 points · Oct 19
  • Jackson started at center in two of the three preseason games. at 2:07
  • The host's opinion is that starting Jackson over Lopez is the right decision by Ty Lue. at 10:19
  • The host says Jackson came to the Clippers last season in a trade involving Ivica Zubac. After Konan Niederhauser got hurt, Jackson played 17 games at 16 minutes per game. at 2:14
  • The host gives Jackson's Clippers line from last season: 76% from the field, 55% free throws (called the big weakness), 7.5 points, 5 rebounds, 1 assist and 1 block in 16 minutes. at 2:28
  • The host says this is by far Jackson's biggest NBA role. He has never played more than 63 games or started more than 15 games in a season, and the host calls him an undersized 6'8" center. at 2:59
  • The host predicts Jackson will play about 26 minutes per game, which would be a career high. He suggests averaging a double-double as a statistical goal. at 8:34
  • The host expects Jackson to roll hard to the basket for Garland ("DG") and catch lobs, as seen in preseason. He says Lopez does not do this and instead picks and pops. at 4:22
  • The host expects Jackson to run the floor much harder in transition than Lopez. That would let Garland throw outlet passes and let the team play faster. at 4:35
  • The host says Lopez is a better rim protector than Jackson because of a five-inch height edge and pick-and-roll defensive experience. He hedges that he may be proven wrong. at 4:52
  • The host thinks Lopez would be a bottom-five starting center but could still be a serviceable backup. He says Jackson also 'might still be' and 'probably is' a bottom-five starting center. at 4:03
  • The host's projected starting lineup: Garland, Kris Dunn (the host says he is assuming), Derrick Jones Jr., Rui Hachimura and Jackson. Only Jackson's starting role was presented as announced. at 9:32
  • For last season's play-in against Golden State, the host says Konan Niederhauser did not play after the March 27 Indiana game, and Jackson was also injured. He says Lue was not comfortable making the play-in Konan Niederhauser's first game back. at 18:49
  • The host says Jackson is 24 and turns 25 in January, so he is still approaching his prime. He names Wagler, Baba Miller, Konan Niederhauser, Kobe Sanders and Jordan Miller as the young players to develop, since the team lacks future first-round picks. at 25:10
  • The host says Jackson probably is still a bottom-five starting center in the NBA, and that the center situation is not ideal. at 5:17
  • In the host's telling, Lue didn't bring Konan Niederhauser back for last season's play-in game against Golden State. The host suggests Lue "maybe felt" it was too soon. Jackson also got injured in that game. at 18:49

  “Why Isaiah Jackson Being Named Starting Center Is The RIGHT Choice” · listen ↗

• Podcast Locked On Clippers · 3 points · Oct 13
  • Host opinion: Isaiah Jackson is the better choice to start at center and Brook Lopez should be a backup, even though Lopez had seven rebounds to Ajax's four in this game. at 4:38
  • Host analysis: Lopez's edge is rim protection and experience in drop coverage. Isaiah Jackson might offer more defensive versatility and let the team play faster. at 24:38
  • Host analysis: Isaiah Jackson needs to pass better under ball pressure. He turned it over on a 4-on-3 and threw an overzealous pass to a cutting Wagler into a crowded paint. at 27:56
