    He is our starting SG after Kobe retires.
    Given his low TO rate, he can develop into a fantastic PG too.
    At any rate, we need to get another guard that can shoot. (ie not Rondo)

    Here in the Philippines, some fans dubbed him Ang Dahong Palay (a ricefield serpent), the most venomous snake around these parts. A play on Kobe's Black Mamba in honor of Clarkson's Filipino roots.

    That's an awesome name. I can't pronounce it, but I love the idea.

    And the fact they put Tony Allen on him in the 4th is a pretty significant sign of respect for what he accomplished in the first 3 quarters.

    25 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds on 12 of 18 shooting in 36 minutes against Memphis with only 2 turnovers, one at the very end of the game. Only Tony Allen in the 4th could shut him down.

    He's belongs in the league for sure. He continues to improve all the time, and he's clearly fueled by how far down he was drafted. Mitch has found another 2nd round steal/gem here. Even if he's not consistent yet, makes rookie mistakes, etc, he's still outperforming his rookie salary, and we need guys like that going forward to have money to improve as a team.

    Interesting info; it was Ryan West and Jesse who both scouted JC and really wanted him...great job by our scouting department.

    Forgot about him, my bad. Sounds like they are making a good new scouting foundation if JC is any indication.
