L.A. Clippers guard Patrick Beverly is best known for his hardnosed brand of basketball that be brings all the time to the floor. And now, he’s ready to infect the rest of the Clippers with the same tenacity and grit that he used to give the Houston Rockets prior to being shipped to Tinseltown.

During an appearance on Adrian Wojnarowski’s The Woj Pod podcast, Beverley sounded very determined in trying to influence his new team into becoming a more aggressive and goal-oriented unit that he hopes would translate into plenty of wins this coming season.

“Me providing the leadership I provide. Trying to change the culture a little bit,” Beverley said. “You think of L.A. and you think of lights, camera, action. All of that is fun for sure. But at the end of the day, they judge you by wins and losses and how hard you play, and how you putting on for the city. If I can just be fortunate to bring my culture to the team, try to change the culture a little bit to kind of a blue collar, grit and grind kind of team and potentially make the playoffs and when you make the playoffs, anything can happen.”

Beverley was traded to the Clippers this summer along with Lou Williams, Sam Dekker, Montrezl Harrell, a top-three protected first-round pick next year, DeAndre Liggins, Darrun Hilliard II, Kyle Wiltjer, and some cash by Houston in exchange for Chris Paul.

While Patrick Beverley isn’t anywhere close of having the playmaking and scoring abilities of Chris Paul, he’ll give the Clippers a different look at the point guard position, one who will gladly play the role of a defensive pest to opposing guards and someone who will carelessly dive for loose balls and go for rebounds.

Beverley averaged 9.5 points, 5.9 rebounds, 4.2 assists, and 1.5 steals per game last season in 67 games for the Rockets. While the Rockets weren’t able to win the championship, Beverley took home a consolation by winning the 2017 NBA Hustle Award.
