Los Angeles Clippers coach Doc Rivers [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doc_Rivers] recently opened up their sixth man Lou Williams [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lou_Williams] in an interview. The player got traded from Houston Rockets to the Clippers in 2017, and has been with the team ever since. Rivers mentioned that he never thought Lou was any good, adding that his offense was a surprise to him. LOU WILLIAMS HAS BEEN THE BEST 6TH MAN FOR VARIOUS TEAMS Philadelphia 76ers drafted Lou Williams in the 2005 NBA season. The Atlanta Hawks acquired him in a trade after 7 years. Since then, Lou found himself shuttling from one team to another. He became a part of the Toronto Raptors in 2014. Besides, Lou was also part of Los Angeles Lakers and Houston Rockets. In 2017, he was traded to Clippers in exchange for Chris Paul [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/chris-paul/]. Who is Lou Williams? Watch Video of Clippers Guard Outplaying ... [https://d.newsweek.com/en/full/724176/clippers-shooting-guard-lou-williams.jpg] In the 2019 NBA season, Lou helped Clippers reduce the 31 point deficit against the Golden State Warriors. This tied the series 1-1 with a 135-131 win against them. He scored 36 points and 11 assists to aid the team in the biggest comeback in NBA history. In the same season, Williams was named the NBA 6th man of the year for the third time. He is only the second person along with Jamal Crawford to achieve this pedestal. LOU HAS IMPRESSED DOC RIVERS Rivers attempts to end speculation about coaching Lakers | NBA.com [https://www.nba.com/images/cms/2019-03/doc_rivers_clapping_0.jpg?w=1920&h=1080] Clippers coach Doc Rivers admitted to not knowing about Williams’ capabilities on the court. Doc did not see him as an important pick, as he did not know the player’s offense. Lou garnered an infamous reputation as the player who got traded from one team to another since the beginning of his career. Talking about his first impression, the coach said, “When we traded for Lou, I was not having Lou, I saw a guy that kept getting traded.” The 33-year-old is a scoring star off the bench and a boon for the tired first five of any team. Though his offense adds to the game, Lou lacks critical defensive skills. According to Rivers, this weakness prevents him from becoming a part of the court. Is Lou Williams’ defensive skill the reason why he doesn’t feature in the first five? 

One of the best 6th men in NBA history, Lou Williams is finally appreciated for
his skills. Doc Rivers as the LA Clippers coach seems to be impressed.

The side was one of the three expansion teams to join the <a href="https://www.nba.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> in 1970. At the time they were known as the Buffalo Braves. They were based in New York for 8 seasons and reached the playoffs on three consecutive years between 1974-1976. 
In 1978 they shifted base to California and were known as the San Diego Clippers. 6 years later they moved to Los Angeles. However, these moves weren't successful for the side. They made the playoffs only 4 times in their first 28 years as the Los Angeles Clippers. 
Coach Tyronn Lue is leading the team right now, while Lawrence Frank and Michael Winger serve as the president and general manager respectively.
The Los Angeles Clippers acquired big names such as Blake Griffin, DeAndre Jordan, and Chris Paul in the late 2000s and early 2010s. The acquisitions marked a change in fortunes for the side and they reached the playoffs in 7 of the 8 seasons between 2012 to 2019.

During the 2019 offseason, the LA Clippers signed 2X NBA Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard and acquired time NBA all-star Paul George, from Oklahoma City Thunder.

<h2>Chris Paul 2022: Net worth, salary, and endorsements</h2>
Phoenix Suns star Chris Paul, also known as the Point God is currently playing his 17th season in the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/">NBA</a>. He was drafted with the fourth overall pick in the 2005 NBA Draft by the New Orleans Hornets.

Despite the Hornets' lack of success, Paul emerged as one of the best point guards in the league. His best campaign came in 2008 when he finished second in the MVP voting, a result some fans are still not content about.

He was then traded to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/la-clippers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">LA Clippers</a> in 2011 where he had the iconic Lob City team up with Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. They became one of the best teams in the league and were also very entertaining to watch. But lack of postseason success still followed Paul who was subsequently traded to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/houston-rockets/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Houston Rockets</a> in 2017.

He joined forces with James Harden, and almost led them to the NBA Finals, but then he got injured sadly. He played just two seasons before the Rockets traded him to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/oklahoma-city-thunder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Oklahoma City Thunder</a>.

Following the season, the Thunder accepted his wishes and sent him to the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/phoenix-suns/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Phoenix Suns</a> where he is now creating menace in the West alongside <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/devin-booker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Devin Booker</a>.

In spite of leading in the Finals, the Suns lost to the Bucks.

In the 2021-22 season, Paul has been the protagonist in the build-up play for Phoenix, in spite of not putting up the best numbers. Needless to say, the side is performing exceedingly well.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Lou Williams 2021: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</h2>
Lou Williams is a six-foot-one guard who plays for the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/atlanta-hawks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Atlanta Hawks</a> in the NBA. He was born on October 27, 1986, in Memphis, Tennessee. Williams’ parents are the late Willie Louis Williams and Janice Faulkner. 

Williams attended South Gwinnett High School in Georgia where he massively recognized his basketball talents. He led his high-school team to the 5A Georgia State Championship as a junior and earned several accolades.

The Memphis native was named Naismith Prep Player of the Year in high-school and took part in the Jordan Brand Classic as well as the McDonald’s All-American game in his senior year. Williams then skipped college to directly enter the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> in 2005. 

After a promising high-school career, Williams set his foot into the NBA without any college experience. His natural scoring ability was astonishing, but he fell down the pecking order due to disappointing workout sessions. 

Williams has three siblings, two brothers and a sister. As for his love life, Williams is in a relationship with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rece_gorg/">Rece Mitchell</a> since 2014 and the couple has three kids together. However, there was a controversial moment in their relationship. 

Williams<a href="https://www.republicworld.com/sports-news/basketball-news/lou-williams-advises-man-on-introducing-his-two-girlfriends-on-twitter.html"> admitted</a> to having another girlfriend Ashley Henderson in 2014, besides Mitchell. The situation was strange because his other girlfriend Rece Mitchell was aware of Williams dating two women at the same time. However, it became all right when Henderson broke up with him in 2018. 
<h2 style="text-align: center">Lou Williams NBA Career</h2>
Williams was selected with the 45th overall pick in the 2005 NBA draft. The <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/philadelphia-76ers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Philadelphia 76ers</a> picked him up and that’s where he learned the effectiveness of scoring off the bench. 

Williams spent seven years in Philly and started just 38 of the 455 games he played for them. He averaged 14.1 points, 3.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game during the 2011-12 season and earned a runner-up finish for the Sixth Man of the Year Award. 

The high-flying guard ended his stint with the Sixers in 2012 and signed with the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/atlanta-hawks/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Atlanta Hawks</a>. He suffered a grueling ACL tear a few games into his first season and missed out on a year of NBA action due to rehab. 

Williams played less than 100 games for the Hawks before which he was traded to the Toronto Raptors. He stayed there for just a year, but Lou Williams was bestowed with the 2015 NBA Sixth Man of the Year award.

He carried averages of 15.5 points and 2.1 assists that season and became the first Raptor to win the award. Williams then had short stints with the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/los-angeles-lakers/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Los Angeles Lakers</a> and the Houston Rockets but both of them didn’t reap much success in terms of team achievements.

The Rockets then traded Williams to the LA Clippers in an eye-catching trade for Chris Paul. He fit in well as the Clippers bench scorer and his massive experience proved to be a major advantage. 

Williams then won back-to-back Sixth Man of the Year awards in 2018 and 2019 and his scoring averages stood above 20.0 PPG during these years. After four seasons with the Clippers, Williams was traded to his first team, the Hawks midway through the 2020-21 season. His role decreased considerably, but he helped his team as a veteran and was part of the Hawks first Conference Finals run since 2015.
