    He's still questionable, but he was shooting with the team earlier today.

    Any update if he's playing tomorrow?

    It seems the rumors of his demise were greatly exaggerated...

    JC played extremely well; just like the second half of last season, he's on fire. I saw him limping a bit in today's game, hope he's ok. He's a keeper!

    Clarkson's three is so consistent right now. Offensively he has really developed nicely. If he can just become an average defender we have a great backcourt for the future.

    Apparently Clarkson is the same height as Russell, and 10 lbs lighter? Is that right?

    He seems to be more often than not, floating a little bit forward on his threes, making the shots a little bit easier. I think it's probably common sense if you're catching in rhythm and shooting with your momentum going slightly forward (or even landing right back where you jumped) you're giving yourself an easier shot. A little closer of a shot, as opposed to fading, or drifting on those shots. He appears to be making it a point to shoot his threes mostly all the same way, and the results are showing, he looks super confident.

    The JC- DAR backcourt will be named the " ......" in a couple of seasons.

    Start looking for a nickname !

    "Sweet 16"

    I hate myself for even making that joke.

    I think we just roll with DA, JC, and JR as The Triumvirate.

    He got away with that Jordan push :D , but the move was still so so sweet.

    Officially they're listed at:
    Jordan- 6'5" 195 lbs
    Dlo- 6'5" 195 lbs.

    I think Russell is more like 6'4" and change and Jordan is probably closer to 6'3" and change but they're very similar in height. Russell has a bigger build and I expect him to put on some muscle this summer, but Jordan is a wiry 195 lbs. He probably shouldn't put on any more weight (I doubt he's a legit 195, probably more like 185-190). Next season Dlo should come in at about the same weight, but less baby fat and more muscle.

    Just a random question since our backcourt is being compared to the splash bros lately..... Would you trade JC for Devin Booker straight up?

    No. Neither would the Lakers I doubt. Booker is not as complete a player as Clarkson.

    I like Booker a lot, but I think Jordan is at least as good as him if not better all around.

    Would you trade Clarkson+#1 pick for Jimmy Butler? Would Chicago?
