JC reminded me of a great Laker of past in that 2nd half: Darius MOrris.  |

Played like he really should in the first half making right decisions. Then reverted to the exact opposite. Sad thing is he has the skill set to be be much more versatile, but following the footsteps of chuckers in the team.

He is becoming more expendable by the game.

I don't really know what his value is. It might even be higher than Lou because of his age. It's worth exploring what he paired with Tarik could net. But Lou would also help some teams who are trying to compete reach the next level...

Everything was perfectly fine until that 4th quarter.

Maybe they add a pick as a sweetener which might be more desirable. |

The Nets are high on both of them, especially since they are so dearth of young talent.
Why would they do that? They gave up Thaddeus for LeVert. I believe they even reached for LeVert. They gave up Plumlee for RHJ (the old regime though).
Same with the WCS pipe that has been posted on here lately. Why would the Kings give up WCS for Lou Will?

Add pick if RHJ.
Otherwise, Levert is perfect.

Nets probably like both players. |

Can we convince them JC is Westbrook lite?

Gauging Jordan Clarkson’s future on the Lakers
| Quote: | Jordan Clarkson has been one of the more perplexing stories among a panoply of development narratives the Lakers have dealt with in Luke Walton’s inaugural season.
Projected in the summer to start alongside D’Angelo Russell as part of the Lakers’ proverbial backcourt-of-the-future, he was consigned to the bench unit in a seeming admission that what many suspected as Clarkson’s ultimate ceiling was correct: a spark plug scoring sixth man. |

To be fair many of us here also said that JC would be a 6th man type of player.

I'm glad we got a 6th man in the 2nd round, but if this season is about development, I would also like to see Clarkson without Lou as the main scorer off the bench. That's another reason I would like to see Lou traded, I want too see how Clarkson does when the bench is essentially his and Nance's unit. Those two are athletic and high energy, I want to see them when they aren't relying on Lou.
Don't get my wrong, Lou is probably the best player we have, but I just want this team to stop replying on him because he wont be here long term. |

I still ridicule people for it...right before Luke was hired Mitch said he thought DLo and JC could be the back court of the future, and Luke made this wildly unexpected decision. I still think it was a poor decision, and one that was made for poor reasons. Has it been a success? I guess you could argue Swaggy has had a better year than expected, but DLo and JC certainly have not, and the back court rotations are awful.
On top of that if we lose our draft pick this year, and are unable to sign a starting SG....who starts next season if Swaggy opts out? If it ended up being JC, that would make the decision even worse because Luke would have wasted a year of them being able to grow together. |

Mitch saying something like that is a PR move, not a glimpse into the Lakers plans of the future. I thought Clarkson would start but Nick Young outplayed him and earned the spot. Clarksons play style fits the role of a bench scorer and hopefully he can develop into an elite sixth man. |

I'd still like to know why JC turned into such a ballhog.
I have doubts about him being an elite 6th man because he doesn't seem to be a very good outside shooter. All he does is drive to the basket.
He kind of reminds of Xavier Henry except X was taller, stronger, jumped higher, more athletic and played better defense. But both basically relied on driving to the basket 90% of the time. |

JC, no more Lou. Time for you to run that 2nd unit and hopefully rekindle your rookie season. Have some high hopes for him coming up.

| I still have to buy the 6th man concept. He had a higher PER as starting rookie PG and also as starting SG last season. It is painful to see how much he has regressed in this role. I'm looking forward to the day Dlo would be able to catch his early numbers, but at this point he is the best player. |

| I don't know what to make of Magic's statement last night. He said JC can be an "elite defender". Either Magic's not watching the games or he's talking up JC's stock for a trade. |
