    Loved jordy but his ego got the in the way of his progress as a player with lakers. Humble pie helped him extend his career and I miss him but I hope clarkson can continue to learn and use the 'I should have been a first round pick chip in a positive way as opposed to pressing where it's not needed.' Love clarkson as a prospect, he is very raw and could use some discipline. Too bad nash isn't around to help.

    Clarkson is currently at a point of, in-between D-League and NBA level talent. He still has to refine a lot of things with his game to get to the NBA level.

    Much like Marshall, Goudelock, these guys are certainly better than D-Leaguers, and always put up big numbers in the D-League, but they for some reason, struggle in the NBA. Luckily, Clarkson is still very young. He needs to work on control, first and foremost. He has all the skill in the world, but he thinks too fast.

    His talent ceiling is very high. Hate to see him turn into another jeremy Lin.

    Would love to see him be a taller Gary Payton

    I never said they played the same positions, just that I think he's better than Johnson and I'd rather see him play than Wes.

    Xavier Henry was 3-13, but he hit 2 threes and 11 of 12 FTs for 19 points, 5 assists, 2 boards

    Manny Harris was 9-16, 28 points, 6 boards, 3 assists

    Clarkson was 8-18, 19 points, 10 dimes, 3 boards

    Roscoe Smith with another very impressive stat line. Clarkson, with the 10 dimes is nice to see. I hope B.Scott sees that as a sign that he could/should be replacing Price soon if not ASAP.
