North Carolina Tar Heels: NBA Playoffs Preview
- Los Angeles Clippers (Raymond Felton, Brice Johnson) vs Utah Jazz
Is it depressing that Rodney Hood will have a bigger impact on this series than either Felton or Johnson? Is it more depressing that Hood has developed into the pro that I thought he would be back when he was drafted?

Felton is part of the committee that spells Chris Paul. As a result he saw action in eighty games. He started eleven of those and saw an average of twenty-one minutes of action per game. He remains the only true point guard behind Paul since Austin Rivers and Jamal Crawford are combo guards that get minutes at the two as well. Felton averages just under seven points and right around three assists per game this season. He does not need to shoot here, the objective is quite simple – go inside to Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan.
Johnson has seen very little action this season. This is a result of bring on a team that needs to win now and drafted him for insurance more than an impact player.
