    Good to know

    We got ourselves a steal.

    Was there a reason he fell midway to the 2nd round?

    According to "Draft experts" he didn't have the desire or fire to play after his father was diagnosed with cancer.

    Summer League head coach Mark Madsen sees this leap as a testament to Clarkson’s will.

    “The level of work that Jordan has put in over this last year is absolutely incredible, and it’s paying dividends,” Madsen said. “Monday after practice, he stayed late and would not leave the court until he finished his shooting progression. His legs were dead. That type of meticulous hunger to improve is something that has taken Jordan Clarkson to the level that he is right now.”

    Jordan Clarkson, core player? You better believe it.

    thats interesting

    its up to the coaching staff but i dont see how it can do any harm, but if they decide to rest him i guess it'd be to give some one else a longer look going into training camp

    Always chance of injury, but guess that can happen just as easily in practice.

    Jordan is certainly in another class of player and he's showing it. I'd leave it up to him. His play picks up the rest of these guys. If he feels like he's wasting time though, I'd be alright with him sitting out.

    Flip side is he and Russell and the boys need as much familiarity and chemistry as possible to offset some of the youth.

    He's going to be the best player on the floor for us this year, period. Yeah, I said it. Best player on the floor this year for us; He'll average 19-21 ppg, 44-46% shooting, 3-4 rebounds, 3-4 assists; book it.

    I'll go with most dynamic, but I'll hold off on best until I see Kobe back and how he chooses to play his role.

    Yeah, depends on Kobe. But I see him getting the most minutes. Probably more than 35 minutes at both guard spots. I'd say he'd average 19 points 5 boards and 5 dimes.
