Not thrilled about JC hanging with Swaggy.

It's too late for Clarkson. He's already been Swappypied. |

His offensive repertoire on show.
Clarkson has a great offensive package. Scoring 33 on a losing effort makes it clear that you have to get stops and that is how I'm going to measure Clarkson's development going forward. With an average D his status as a player jumps to another level, without that people will still talk about him as a 6th man candidate. He has the physical tools, it's just a matter of put some work on this side of the ball. |

Jamal Crawford dropped 44 in his pro am league. These are just highlight factories. Good to see JC show some diversity of moves, though not sure how transferable it is against NBA talent.

I hope once the Lakers drop Swaggy, so too will JC. Not a good influence on his life, especially if the hope is that the DLO/JC backcourt will be together for a while.

| It's not really the total points that impressed me, it's how he scored those points. He showed that he can score on all three levels effortlessly. His 3pt shot and release looks much more smooth and his handles are improved as well. |

Still trying to figure out why he's playing in the drew league when he should be in the gym working on his game.
I blame Dave20. |

His work ethic is off the charts. He stays in the gym. |

| What are the regulations on players doing such leagues. Do they have to take out their own insurance. I'm pretty sure teams don't really want their players participating in the Drew league. |

They are BFF's now. Hopefully when we trade Clarkson for Westbrook OKC will take Swaggy off our hands also. |

With his elevation and touch on his shot Jordan could be absolutely deadly on that baseline fadeaway. He doesn't have the length to get it posting up on the low block the same way that Bryant did. But with his speed he can 'post' above the free throw line and spin baseline with a dribble if the defender is taking away the middle.
The action would have to be weak side swing with the other defender guarding away from the corner so he wasn't driving into congestion. Probably means Jordan would be flashing to the ft line from the corner three.

But I thought he was a "point guard" or should be playing the "point guard" spot?

There are "pro's and con's". I mean competitive pickup games are played all summer by most players and the Drew is basically just very competitive pickup games. I would guess the CBA does not allow them to prevent basketball players from playing uncompensated basketball. |

Defending is the key for him reaching his ceiling, but he's too gifted of a scorer to not be at least a Rip Hamilton caliber player on a championship team. |
