Doc Rivers hopes the Olympic experience of DeAndre Jordan improves his game with the Clippers this season.

Jordan was a First Team All-NBA selection this past season.

“He sees himself now as a star,” Rivers said. “As good as he is, I don’t think he’s ever seen himself as one. He’s always been the third guy so he’s looked at himself as a role player in some ways. Now he knows how good he is and I think any time you’re around winning, it’s important, and I think DJ now knows what winning looks like.

“Of all our guys, I think he’s the most important guy this summer for us.”
