Can anyone speak to JC's gym time in comparison to other players' gym time (Laker and non-Laker) through the years?
I'm sure that today's Instagram culture makes it seem like everyone is working out more than in the past, but I have a hard time believing that 80% of the NBA has been working out as relentlessly as Jordan seems to be. |

The talk of JC being a 6th man is in regard to us bringing in a better option to start. How any Laker fan can be against that baffles me. |
That applies to the rest of the roster. So I'm not against it at all. I'm just against singling JC out and putting a cap on him as a prospect/player or any of our young guys for that matter.

Randle has gotten props from the FO for living in the gym. Not that he spends more or less time than JC, but he puts in the work.

Does it really baffle you? Or is that just a figure of speech?
If it's the former, then, you should know virtually everyone would be in favor of starting the better player. So no one, or at least a very small number of fans, are actually against that.
Where you won't always get agreement is on whether a particular player is ACTUALLY a better option for this team over the alternative.
Hope you're unbaffled now. |

Judging by the picture of KAT, Simmons, Booker, and DLO recently together, JC needs to be dragging DLo in the weight room with him consistently.

| As I haven't been following LA Lakers for years, I am not familiar with our players these days, but one player I can relate to is Jordan Clarkson, only because he is half Filipino, which I also turn out to be. Thus he's my current favorite on the roster, so what are the chances, that he'll still be in LA come next season? |

The chances are very good that he is a Laker next season.

So much hype. So much potential. So little fulfilled.
I rather Thon Maker over Zhou Qi at this moment. But I must admit that Zhou Qi looks really really good |

I follow him on snapchat and he seems to be there a lot. its him and u can see somebody else there too. So I would say it's legit he's working hard |

Jordan Clarkson Offers Advice To Incoming Late-Rounders
| Quote: | | Although they don’t present as much intrigue as the lottery picks, second-rounders have recently provided great value for their perspective teams. One of them is the Lakers’ own Jordan Clarkson, who they took with the 46th overall pick after making a trade with the Washington Wizards on draft night. |
