It has no effect at all. Paul has not played the role of the Clippers backup point guard well so far?

In the previous NBA regular season, the Golden State Warriors easily defeated the Los Angeles Clippers 98-79 at home. After this game, the Warriors successfully won two consecutive victories, with a current record of 4 wins and 1 loss; while the Clippers ended their two-game losing streak, with a current record of 2 wins and 2 losses.

In this game, the performance of Clippers backup point guard Chris Paul still showed no significant improvement. Paul played for 13 minutes and 53 seconds. He made 0 of 2 shots and 0 of 1 from beyond the three-point line. He did not score a point in the game. He only contributed 1 rebound, 2 assists and 3 steals. He also had 1 turnover and a plus-minus of -11. Paul still has no outstanding contribution on the offensive end. His scoring ability has not been used at all, and he has not had any effect in organizing and linking offense. Moreover, it can be seen to the naked eye that he has indeed experienced a significant decline in physical function, and he seems to be unable to keep up with the rhythm of today's games. Paul was indeed able to use his experience advantage to play some value on the defensive end, but overall, his performance on the court was disaster-level, simply ridiculously bad. This was also an important factor in the team's disastrous defeat.

In the NBA regular season last season, Paul played all 82 games on behalf of the San Antonio Spurs as the starting point guard, averaging 28 minutes per game. According to statistics, he had 8.8 points, 3.6 rebounds, 7.4 assists, 1.3 steals, 0.3 blocks, 1.6 turnovers and 1.8 fouls, shooting 42.7% from the field, 37.7% from the three-point range, and 92.4% from the free throw line. In the previous NBA preseason, Paul played a total of 3 times, averaging 18.9 minutes per game, averaging 8.3 points, 3 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 0.7 steals, and 0.7 blocks per game. He also had 1.3 turnovers and 2 fouls. He shot 47.1% from the field, 50% from the three-point range, and 100% from the free throw line. Since the start of this season, Paul has averaged 15 minutes per game in the first four games, averaging 2.5 points, 1.5 rebounds, 4 assists, and 1.8 steals per game. He also has 1 turnover and 2.3 fouls. His shooting percentage is 25%, three-point shooting percentage is 30%, and free throw percentage is 100%.

Paul's performance so far this season has been very disappointing. He did not fully demonstrate his scoring and shooting abilities on the offensive end. His performance in passing and organization was somewhat different from everyone's expectations, and his performance on the defensive end was not particularly outstanding. Paul did not have very good results on both offense and defense, nor did he play a good role as the core figure of the team's second lineup. The team's situation when he was on the court was not ideal. When the Clippers signed Paul back this summer, they also hoped that he could play the core role of the second team. As a result, he failed to play such a role at all, and the Clippers still had no way to find a reliable backup point guard, which seemed a bit troublesome.
