This NBA offseason has been very eventful and the preseason is now in full swing. To help hoops junkies with the transition from the lull of summer back to competitive basketball, we here at numberFire will be rolling out our projections for next season in the form of team previews, starting at 30 and going all the way to number one. We continue today with the 4th-ranked Los Angeles Clippers!

In the first year with Doc Rivers leading the show, the Clippers had their best season in franchise history. Their 57 wins were the most ever for the franchise, as was their 69.5% win percentage. The Clippers' offense - led by the dynamic duo of 62nd overall fantasy option this season. Crawford is a steal in the eight or ninth round of drafts if you need to add some offense into your lineup.

SF Matt Barnes (Yahoo O-Rank: 118)
(108 in nF rankings) Here's another under-rated fantasy option who can bring you a ton of value on draft day. Barnes is a stat-sheet filler who contributes in all facets of the game. The Clippers' forward is not a volume scorer, but is an efficient offensive player who crashes the boards and shares the ball. He's also a strong defender who contributes steals and blocks as well, which means that by drafting Barnes you are not really punting on any specific category. What also makes Barnes an interesting draft target to me is the lack of depth behind him. With Reggie Bullock, Douglas-Roberts and Turkoglu as the only other true wing players on the Clippers' roster, Barnes could be forced into an increase in minutes this season which can only mean even greater fantasy value. Barnes makes a great late-round glue guy who will rarely disappoint.
