Milos Teodosic: Hands out eight assists in Clips debut

Doc Rivers went with Patrick Beverley and Austin Rivers as the starting
backcourt, but Teodosic played 25 minutes off the bench and flashed the passing
ability that made him one of the best players in Europe. Teodosic, who signed a
two-year, $12.3 million deal with the Clippers in July, missed all five of his
field goal attempts but turned in a few highlight-reel passes leading to easy
baskets for Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan. The 30-year-old will likely begin
the season as the backup to Beverley, an infinitely better defender, but look
for Teodosic to be a significant rotation player right away, who could provide
excellent per-minute assist production for fantasy owners.
