Is Clarkson Already Better Than Lin?
Seems like it. He isn't a mentally soft player. Already has a couple game winners, he's fearless at the line with the game on the line and he actually moves off the ball. Who do you take RIGHT NOW? I take Clarkson RIGHT NOW and of course for the future. At least Lin surpassed Ronnie Price finally.

No question about it, but as a player, do you think Clarkson > Lin at this moment?

Re: Is Clarkson Already Better Than Lin?
You guys are smoking shwag.
Even during most of Clarkson's recent scoring surge, Lin was still putting up the same numbers in LESS minutes. Then Lin missed two games from being sick and the Lakers are in full tank mode barely playing Booze, Davis or Hill and Lin is obviously playing with less effort and energy while Clarkson is feasting.
Not taking away from Clarkson but Lin doesn't care about stats. He's a PG and he wants to win.
Hell, during Linsanity, he pushed the Knicks into the playoffs. Clarksanity has him going neck to neck with the Sixers.
Re: Is Clarkson Already Better Than Lin?
lin is a scrub so that's not an accomplishment
Re: Is Clarkson Already Better Than Lin?
Obviously. Lin is garbage. People keep expecting him to break out but he is just a below-average to average player. He had a couple good weeks over three years ago yet people still hang onto that. There's a reason he isn't doing that anymore.. he just isn't good.

Is Clarkson better than Lin?
Lin lost the starting PG job to a rookie there's the answer.
Lin had more than enough chances to take the reins of this Laker team and blew it...
there's a reason Lin's been on so many different teams under 5 different coaches and the results are always the same... comes in expected to be the starting PG, pretty soon he's moved out of the starting spot into 6th man where they try and keep his minutes up and playing with the starters for a bulk of the time then he's the 7th man and playing with just the bench....
Lin makes Lin look good on some nights but he doesn't make the team better and that's what a PG is supposed to do

Re: Is Clarkson Already Better Than Lin?
Lin has had some nice runs in his career. Linsanity for example. He was great in that little stretch, but it'll probably never happen again. I don't ever think he'll reach that level, ever. Might get a little close, though. The problem with Lin is that he's extremely inconsistent. Rockets fans, like myself, and Lakers fans will all tell you this. Only delusional LOFs will tell you he's a good player. He's average. Not good by any means. Lacks the ability to stay consistent. One night he looks like an above average point guard, and the next night he looks like a guy who's playing his first ever NBA game out there.
Jordan Clarkson is clearly the better player.
