Jordan Clarkson

[MJ(Mean John)]

What's his ceiling? IYO?


AND...

What's his NBA comparison?


Me?
Best Case- possibly a Poor Mans Kyrie??(Havent Seen Enough)

Worse Case- taller Nate Rob


What do you think?

Peak Barbosa would actually be pretty awesome..

He has the potential, it's all about how well handles failure and set backs.

the way he accelerates reminds me of peak barbosa. but yeah that's wishful thinking right now,

the kid isn't afraid to keep on shooting even when missing shots..i blame swaggy p & kobe's influence..mostly swaggy p

He's shown some signs of developing into a decent PG. At least there's some upside to this bad season. I'm glad they're giving the young guys a chance to develop now.

[MJ(Mean John)]

Bump.
(Not considering his play lately)

When we drafted him, I felt we got a steal. Kid had first round talent. He's already played better than Austin Rivers lol

Putting a hypothetical out there. If the Lakers draft somewhere around the #3 spot, do you take Mudiay? Clarkson has been good but it would be tough to pass him up. Anyway around it, the Lakers actually have a few nice young players now in Clarkson and Randle. Add one more hopefully this year and at least we can take a few positives from this season.

man. I think you take him or D'Angelo Russel.

Remember, we STILL have Houston's First rounder. We can go ahead and take a SF for the future.

Now, with Randle Coming back, hopefully we can grab Marc Gasol in FA.

C- Gasol
PF- Randle
SF- 1st rounder OR FA
SG- KB
PG- 1st rounder OR FA

---
Bench
PG-Clarkson
SG- Wayne
SF- Nick
PF- Second Rounder OR FA
C- Ed Davis

This team, if healthy can compete, seriously IF Clarkson and Randle show major development and can be impact players and IF we can have a rookie of the year impact from the top 5 pick and if we can have the houston pick be an impact player, and we pick up Marc gasol, healthy kobe and pick up another FA, man. This team WILL surprise people.

As good as Clarkson has been he still looks like just a starter in the NBA. I'm not sure he's a perennial all-star. He wouldn't be putting up those numbers on a better team. There's still room that he can grow though. Great value for a 2nd round pick anyway around it. We'll see what happens.

Clarksons best asset is his mentality. He isn't afraid of the moment. He appears to be a player very receptive to tutelage. He has confidence in himself and plays the same way. He is a 4 year college player, it is expected that he should be a bit more prepared. Overall, very happy with his play. Not sure of his ceiling, but any rookie putting up the numbers he is as a starter even on a poor team is proof enough he is a legit player in this league.

There are rumors swirling they will go for Rondo is they do indeed end up with a bigman in the draft. How do you guys feel about this? I am not in favor of spending a lot on Rondo. He is older and he will command maybe max. I kind of want them to give Clarkson a chance to be the starter. I hope they don't just sign Rondo to make Kobe happy in his last year.

I love Clarkson.. honestly I think his ceiling is as high as he wants to go.

Think Kobe lite, I really think we're going to be shocked at how good that kid will be.

Chip on his shoulder, unafraid of the moment seems to have no fear, athletic, a growing court awareness, solid skills for a rookie (probably because he spent 3 years in college) seems to read defenses well, all we've been told he's a hard worker...

he keeps pushing himself, dedicates his time to learning the game he's going to be in an all star game sooner than later

btw Despite spending so much time in the d league and riding the pine early in the season he finished 7th in the ROY voting

[dd24]

He honestly could have finished in the top 5 too. He wasn't better than Payton, Noel, Mirotic, or Wiggins but he was right there in the mix. I think he had a better season than Smart (although Smart will end up being better) and Nurkic.
