Below is a list of all qualifying half-court play types (isos, PNR ball handler, off-ball screens, post-ups) the Clippers have used with at least 1 possession per game. The list is sorted by points per possession. Note that it's still rather early in the season — some plays may not have enough data to qualify, and random noise is very likely to be present.

Some notes:
- Many of the most common Clippers plays are rather inefficient
- The most common Iso play used by the Clippers is a Paul George Iso (0.93 ppp)
- The most common PNR play used by the Clippers is a James Harden PNR (0.97 ppp)
- The most common Post-up play used by the Clippers is a Kawhi Leonard Post-up (0.96 ppp)
- Westbrook does not look good
- If we exclude the 1 possession per game requirement, the most efficient play is actually a Paul George Post-up (1.47 points per possession on 0.9 possessions per game)

Bones was getting traded anyways. He doesn't fit what Booth is typically looking for.
