Jordan Clarkson since the all star break (since we are doing this for average players)

[MJ(Mean John)]

Since people like to post some average stats about a guys that were lottery picks, I will go ahead and post some stats of this second round draft pick in his ROOKIE year once he is FINALLY getting some minutes.

This guy is putting up

15.6 Points (53% FG)/ (32% 3pt) / (86%FT)/ (60%TS)
4.3 Assists (4:1 Assist:Turn Over Ratio)
3.8 Rebounds

That is with the other teams best perimeter defender assigned to him.

Looks like a steal to me. I mean, the guy is just full of energy. He is really fast and athletic. He plays great defense. Him and Randle will be nice. Add D'angelo Russell to the mix. Lakers looking like they got themselves a nice little group of young guys. They just need to keep at it. Ed Davis is good too.

I'm a big fan of Clarkson :applause:

Good piece to keep for next season, same with Ellington and Davis.
Obviously kobe and see how randle goes.


Rest of the team please fu*k off you suck...

[ImKobe]

What a steal for us, he should make an all-rookie team with the way he's played as a starter this year.

as a starter (since january 23rd)

14/3/4 on 44% shooting in 29.8 mpg

[KembaWalker]

Best PG of the class?

[MJ(Mean John)]

Best PG of the class?


Yeah, I was looking at it. He IS BETTER than Exum and Smart. Just using the eye test.

[Cocaine80s]

Great stats

This guy plays winning basketball

[KembaWalker]

Yeah, I was looking at it. He IS BETTER than Exum and Smart. Just using the eye test.

Only other PG I can think of who's been decent is Payton

[buddha]

honestly he could be a top 10 PG in the NBA if he wants it bad enough. he'd obviously have to work really hard being 22, but he's got all the tools. I don't think he has the mentality to be great though, he's more like a Jeff Teague just content to be in the flow of the game.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Yeah, I was looking at it. He IS BETTER than Exum and Smart. Just using the eye test.

How much have Smart and Exum have you watched? And Payton...

[MJ(Mean John)]

I have watched a few Celtic Games. I've seen Smart. He's pretty good and would say he is better than exam. And please keep in mind I am talking currently and I am not talking who has the most potential.

Exum looks so raw. Smart looks like he has trouble getting his own shot off.

Now, Payton is the only guy that I haven't seen much of.

How much of Clarkson have you seen?

[BlackWhiteGreen]

I haven't watched enough of any of them (except Smart) to make a true comparison, but I've not been wildly impressed by any of them (including Smart). From the numbers Clarkson has a high usage rate, makes sense given the rest of the roster. Popular opinion currently seems to be Payton>Smart>Clarkson>Exum

[veilside23]

the way he plays the game reminds me of somehow of brandon roy.. dont get me wrong i know b roy is a stud.. but the way clarkson moves and the way he plays kinda like broy before he hit his prime. His defense is also a bit underrated. But am happy for clarkson, he is making gm's think twice why they passed up on him.

[IncarceratedBob]

Smart is terrible and Payton isn't much better

[bizil]

I'm from Missouri and Mizzou is my home team. So I knew Clarkson would be a steal. Early on at Mizzou, u could see he had the size, athletic ability, and aggressiveness to make the NBA.

[Eric Cartman]

Easily the best point guard in this draft class, also moves Lin to a backup role where he excels.

Clarkson is fearless :applause:

Putting in serious jeopardy the tank though.

[MJ(Mean John)]

Bump. Tried telling ya'll...

But ya'll wouldn't listen..

The guy has been just balling man.

[SwayDizzle]

Def a positive in these dark Laker times.

[buddha]

can't wait till the lakers win the Lotto and get Karl Towns

Jordan Clarkson
Kobe Bryant / Nick Young
FA
Julius Randle
Karl Towns

das a nice squad

Only non-laker fans haven't seen the light on Clarkson.

[ZeN]

Clarkson is great and I hope he keeps that fire going. Just hope it translates well into a team game when the team starts getting back some impact players.

Well , the likes of Black and Davis are eating well right off of Clarkson, I'd imagine once we get some better talent his assist numbers would inflate.

I see a lottery team.

[SourGrapes]

You would know one

[GOBB]

You would know one

Yup, Sixers will be lottery bound as well. Only difference is we will have the Lakers lottery pick in 2016. Thanks again

[wang4three]

Eh, I don't see what the big hoopla is about him. He just reminds me of the Rodney Stuckeys, Flip Murray, and all the other scoring-first, second, and third "point guards" of the league. At best, he's a 6th man scoring punch off the bench. But not of the Jamaal Crawford level.

[BlackWhiteGreen]

Can't wait for him to make the all-rookie first team and Laker fans declare him the next Chris Paul.

[Milbuck]

You would know one
:roll:

[GOBB]

Did I not call it? GOBB damn I'm good, amen.
