The Los Angeles Clippers will begin the new season with a new look roster after the traded All-Star Chris Paul to the Houston Rockets this summer.

The deal involving CP3 saw the Clippers acquire several players in return including Patrick Beverley, Sam Dekker and Lou Williams.

The L.A. franchise also secured the services of Danilo Gallinari in free agency and brought in point guard Milos Teodosic from Europe.

The Serbian begins life in the NBA at the age of 30 after spending much of his career in the Euroleague.

He comes with a reputation of being one of the most skillful passers on the planet.

Not many will have heard of Teodosic, but players with international experience will be familiar with his talent.

One player who knows all about Teodosic and what he can produce is Golden State Warriors superstar Kevin Durant.

KD was part of the Team USA roster that won Gold at the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and came up against Serbia and Teodosic.

The silky guard left a lasting impression on him as the All-Star small forward recalls one specific pass he made.

“He was running, like, toward the sideline and he flicked it around his head through two people, on the dime and he was on the three-point line and flicked it to him with his right hand and hit him on the dime,” Durant said on The Bill Simmons podcast. “It kinda faked me out, I spun in a circle and I’m like that’s the greatest I’ve ever seen in my life, from anybody.”

This is extremely high praise from Durant who has been in the league for 10 years and has definitely seen a number of incredible dimes in that time.

While the Dubs star praised the Serb for that particular pass, his new Clippers teammate Beverley went one further and said he is now the best passer in the league.

"He might be the best passer in the NBA right now," Beverley said.

The All-Defence guard played with Teodosic during a stint he had in Greece and saw his ability first hand.

He may be able to replace the playmaking ability of Paul, but he isn't renowned for his scoring and the Clippers will have to try and make up for CP's 20+ points per game.

Despite his age, Teodosic certainly has the ability to excite the Clippers faithful and he will have the biggest stage in which to showcase his talent.
