Lakers Have Some Nice Young Players

I could see those 2 being part of a 3 guard rotation. I think they would need a true scorer at SG as the third.

Mudiay would run the point and Clarkson would be the SG in my scenario or both would be combo guards since neither is a natural point.

Of course, but at some point you need a real SG IMO.

Yahoo sports are posting vids of Randle practicing in the Lakers facility. Burying three after three. What a S-T-U-D!!!

 

[Kold]

Haven't been around these parts for awhile so what's up fellas. I'll jump in and say that I'm proud to see Jordan Clarkson blossom from the guy that has all the promise, to the guy that is living up to it. As for Randle, I cannot wait to him back next year. I don't know what happens in free agency, but I'm ready to see how much Randle has improved

Clarkson is single handedly trying to mess up the tank process however...

Scott should seriously just start sitting him in 4th quarters or cut his minutes in half. Just use the excuse "We don't want to risk injuring him in meaningless games".

Hey Kold. Good to see you are still around. Yep, I agree and Jabari Brown, Clarkson's teammate at Missouri is a nice surprise as well.

And my point is Clarkson could develop into one.

I think he's more likely to develop into a point guard than a shooting guard. Could go either way though.

 

[DJ]

I think Clarkson's best position is as a SG that handles the ball exceptionally well. Kind of like a poor man's Kobe.

 

[shopson67]

If they were still running the triangle, he could be an ideal combo guard candidate for the "PG" position, much like Fisher was. With more athleticism, of course.

I doubt he's available for LA. He ain't worth taking Top 5 and our pick from the Rockets is gonna end up something like 28th. Damn you Rockets for being so good! Can't you guys take the rest of the season off to get that pick to 22 or something?

It would be nice if the Grizzlies and Spurs would catch and pass them.

Ask and you shall receive...if it holds up for another few days. Rockets currently the 6th overall seed?

It will be somewhere in the mid 20s. Hopefully they can get something worthy with that pick or their early second rounder. Getting that Clippers second rounder is looking a bit dicey.

If they end up 55-60, Clips keep it. Not a real valuable pick really, so not a big loss.

Usually not, but occasionally a late second rounder hits.

Jordan Clarkson anyone?
