That would be nice. Unfortunately, Wiggins played so many more minutes than Clarkson that his per game stats are much better. Per 36, Clarkson looks great.

Yeah and Wiggins went through the wear and tear of an entire NBA season.

Pretty impressive that Clarkson is able to finish at the rim equally as well despite giving up 3 inches in height. Clarkson just looks like a more polished player already, which is insane considering how raw he looked in summer league. Can't remember if I've ever seen a player develop that much within one single season.

That being said, I think a healthy Rubio is going to take Wiggins' game to the next level in terms of efficiency. When you factor that in with his already solid defense, he'll become a franchise player. This guy still has another 6 or 7 years before he hits his prime.

I'm just excited to see what Clarkson will be able to do with some talent around him next season. The coaches need to keep challenging him to improve, because he still has a lot of untapped potential.

Some people are saying that because he has a very low DRPM, an advanced stat.

But part of why it is so low is because the team as a whole was one of the worst in the league.

Clarkson is an average defender. He's not terrible at all, but he's not really that good yet either. He can become a lot better. Imo the area where he struggles the most is pick and roll, but some others have argued against that

He's a man defender who plays with good position. He doesn't really get beat too often, but doesn't have a level of anticipation that is usually expected of guards.

He's an average defender right now, but with the added quickness and his wingspan, could be much more than that, especially in terms of forcing turnovers without gambling position.

Yeah and Wiggins was the number 1 pick. So he'll likely get it. But as others have noted there are some other players equally deserving

Thing I noticed about Clarkson is that he takes 80% of his shots in zones where he is average to above average vs the league (and there are a lot of them), and even where he is average (around the rim), average is still very high efficiency.

He's alredy a plus shooter from 3 up top, plus from the elbow areas down on pullups, and average at the rim area. That's a pick and roll nightmare who will only get better.


Outstanding observation... And I agree BTW.

Seems like Clarkson is taking the shots that he is most capable of making while Wiggins isn't. That is a definite positive for the career outlook for Clarkson, dude definitely has good basketball acumen

Nice. Thanks Mike.

For anyone claiming that Clarkson is an empty stats guy, you could make the same counter-claim with Wiggins.
