    Sorry I know it was already posted in the JC thread, but I wanted it to be on the main page with the slider!

    edit- major props go to @alam1108 for being the first one to bring this news to LB. Thanks for the quick work man!

    That's OUR guy! Yes! Congratulations! He is very well grounded, probably won't hook up with a rap star girlfriend and spend time trying to draw attention to himself. Clarkson speaks softly and but his game carries a big stick!

    Well deserved. He stepped up his game once Byron released the reigns.

    Clarkson, always humble, thankful for All-Rookie recognition: "It's a great accomplishment but I know I've still got a lot to prove."

    ^To use an NFL example, this young buck Clarkson reminds me of how Russell Wilson and Marcus Mariotta handle themselves in public. Polite, humble and unassuming cats. They get you across from them between the lines? They will want to embarrass you.

    awesome. I really hope the lakers get a big or sf in the draft so it doesn't hinder his development next year

    Well deserved!!! It's going to be a blast watching him grow alongside Julius Randle and our Top 5 pick of this year. Future is bright

    What a good, humble kid. He's 100% right too. He needs to work on his efficiency from behind the three point line, that off arm that he got away with all year, and he should always work on his catch-and-shoot stuff too.

    Can't wait to see him and Julius in action this summer. Hopefully with a Top 5 pick as well.

    Had 74 first team votes. Probably could have gotten more had he played since the start of the season. But great job making it nonetheless. and the only 2nd rounder out of the bunch too?

    The only 2nd rounder in 4 years apparently.

    Damn Jordan ....props to you. The literal one breath of fresh air and hope for the successful future of our team post Kobe's retirement whenever that comes, no big name free agent for sure yet that's a "winner" and an alpha dog and after Julius went down for the season in the opening game.

    But yeah!! For some reason the refs gave him, a rookie no less, all damn year .... that off arm ward off. Not sure what that was about as it was really obvious a lot of the time. Fix it kid with new lean muscle and even better handles, because it's illegal.
