Darius Garland, the Los Angeles Clippers point guard, has expressed his desire to play like 2016 Kyrie Irving with the team this coming season. Irving's coach in 2016 was Ty Lue, who is currently the head coach of the Clippers. Garland is hoping to mimic what Irving did in Cleveland and achieve similar success with the Clippers in Los Angeles. In an interview with HoopsHype, Garland admitted that he is happy with the trade to Los Angeles and wants to mimic prime Irving next year. He told his coach that he wants to play a little bit like Kyrie Irving and how he played in 2016 in that Finals run. Garland is excited to implement Irving's vision into his game and is looking forward to working with his teammates. The Clippers are counting on Garland to help lead the team back to the postseason, especially after the expected trade with the Toronto Raptors. Garland believes that people have forgotten how good he can be due to his injuries, but now that he's back fully healthy, he's ready to show the NBA world why he was considered one of the best point guards on the planet. He's confident that he can have a big year for the Clippers and help the team surprise in the Western Conference. With the Clippers expected to complete a blockbuster trade, Garland will be counted on to help lead the team to a postseason spot. He's ready to put in the work and show everybody what he's capable of. Garland's goal is to revamp himself and show the confidence and work that he put in this summer. He's excited to lay it on the line and prove himself as one of the best point guards in the NBA.
