| I know there's another thread on Clarkson, but I'm curious--what do you think his likely ceiling is? Answer the poll. |

| I think he'll be a top 10 PG, 18/7/5 player in prime. |

As of now, I think his ceiling is he can be a 6th man on a playoff team,
Although its really tough to say, he's getting better by the game. |

| Clarkson is already a solid starter right now imo. I could definitely see him developing into an all star in a few years time. |

| Solid starter seems like a safe bet. When you think about it a couple of really solid PGs haven't been All-Stars. Lawson, Bledsoe, Dragic, Rubio, Knight, Conley. And while some of these are still young, chances are they won't make the jump to an All-Star. |

His max max max pipe dream ceiling would probably be something like Deron Williams with a heart.
His "most likely" ceiling might be something around a prime Rod Strickland. |

If Clarkson is not a star, I don't give a (bleep) anymore.
I'm still way too angry right now. |

And you have yourself to thank for that. Winning with our second round steal dominating is something I can tolerate.

| I could see him as a taller version of Monta Ellis. Next season, if we don't draft a point guard, I wouldn't be suprised if he put up 16.5ppg, 6.5apg, 5.0rpg. |

I still stand by that.
Can you imagine how I would really react if for example this game was won by Lin again? Or (bleep) Jabari Brown? |

Look at where those guys are playing. If you actually play like an all-star in LA, you will be in the all-star game.

Solid starter. But unfortunately will likely be a trade chip if he plays well.

This game showed that Byron has been right in playing Kelly at the SF position, putting him in his right position would be bad for the tank (disclaimer: I was traveling and didn't watch the game, only going by comments here that Kelly spent a good amount of time at PF). Even if I were home I wouldn't have watched this game, we needed to lose it and I would never root for them to lose.

| I think Jordan did himself a huge disfavor among majority of Laker fans today. We love the kid but damn did he rip our hearts out Indian Jones style |

The fan base will put you there.

| Solid backup or journeyman. He looks decent because of the minutes and no pressure of winning games. Get him there under the bright, bright lights...he's Darius Morris. |

That's bull. If that were true a lot more scrubs and rookies would be putting up numbers similar to him. Most lottery picks go to bad teams also, should we discount their numbers because they are on a bad team? |

| No first ballot all star appearances, but a fringe all star and a possible appearance once or twice as a replacement. I see him as a possible 20 and 7 guy with 35/36 minutes a game within a couple years, but if we do get "reaL" players here, those numbers may go down some.... |

Currently overrated. He can be solid off the bench eventually. Get your blinders off. |

How the f is he overrated? Use logic or facts to say why, not your uninformed opinion. |
