Montrezl Harrell says his Chemistry with Lou Williams is Intact

LA Clippers forward Montrezl Harrell says fans shouldn't worry about him and Lou Williams losing their on-court chemistry.

It's going to take a lot more than a four-month suspension of play to mess up what Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams have going on. 

On a conference call with reporters Wednesday, Harrell said he doesn't think he and Williams have lost their rhythm despite the stoppage of play.

"That's something that we've built up over time and the chemistry that we have with one another is something that we kind of gelled and grew with over years. I really don't think that's something that you can lose just over a couple of months' time period. Especially when before we actually came back out here, we [were] able to kind of solidify our own little space to still get out there with one another, guys who were still testing negative throughout the testing process, so I think we still [were] able to get back out there, still hoop and get out there and get active, so I don't think we really lost anything, honestly."

Time will tell if Harrell is right, but Clippers fans should hope that he is. Even as the duo took a step back in terms of efficiency this season, Williams and Harrell still combined to average over 37 points per game before the suspension — making up a big chunk of the team's scoring off the bench. 

Williams also averaged a career-high 5.7 assists this year, and while not all of those went Harrell's way, they still made for a potent combination.

They're arguably the Clippers' two most important players behind Kawhi Leonard and Paul George, so if they don't need a reintroduction, it seems fair to assume that LA will be able to hit the ground running once the season picks back up on July 30. Otherwise, it could take a while before this team starts to resemble the one we last saw in March.
