    Clarkson’s immediate future in the NBA projects him as more of a project with solid athleticism and versatility. His ability to play and guard two positions helps his long-term projection with a possible ceiling of being a good 6th man.

    The Lakers are in dire straights. They’re currently the only team in the league still without a head coach and they only have four players on their roster– not even a starting line up. Inking Clarkson to a deal would be a temporary band-aid on what is turning out to be a disaster in L.A.

    Fellow Tige alum. Jabari Brown, who went undrafted, will play with the Houston Rockets summer league team. Clarkson’s future, while uncertain, seems a little more solid.
