Don't worry. He'll be like a super charged Derek Fisher...and that's a "compliment."

Noel and Jordan impact the game on a more subtle level. They don't have to score points to be effective.

Jordan Clarkson, the prototypical stats filler on bad team, with no impact on wins and losses.

As a 46th pick, I don't think he's overrated. Just by a few loyal and passionate fans, which is fine. He's exceeded expectations as a late 2nd round pick. Whether his ceiling is much higher than now, that's up for debate. But he's certainly shown he's an NBA player, which most late 2nd round picks are not.

He's a great player. A great role player. I see some superstar talk here surrounding him that I honestly believe is overinflated.

Meh... Draymond's a walking triple double. That's enough to warrant a discussion of its own.

And what Brad Stevens is doing in Boston with a bunch of role players is amazing. He's demonstrating superstars are overrated now. It's more of a team game than it ever was.

Ok which 2 people called him a superstar? Because almost no one is saying that, which is why, I don't think he's overrated.

To be overrated, IMO, lots of people have to talk more highly of them than their play justifies. It can't just be a couple of posters.

Clarkson is the most productive 2nd-rounder picked by the Lakers since Marc Gasol.

Indeed.
