Jordan Clarkson: Hit the Ground Running

Like Ryan Kelly, Jordan Clarkson has had a very busy off-season.  Ryan Kelly updated his twitter constantly.  Jordan Clarkson kept finding the basketball floor.  The Vegas Pro League gave Laker fans a barometer of what to expect out of him in terms of talent. Expectations were relatively low of the second round pick early on, but he set the bar high for himself.

Out of the gate, he had a 21-point debut.  Video provided by Dawk Ins.

Later in the week, he hit a game-winning layup against the Golden State Warriors.  It got quite a reaction from the crowd.  Why?  The Golden State Warriors were undefeated through two Vegas Pro Leagues until this game.  Thanks again to Dawk Ins for providing the great video.

He had an excellent debut week at the Vegas Pro League.  He averaged 15.8 points, 5 rebounds, and 1.2 assists per game on 42.4% shooting from the field, 42.1% behind the arc.

After that week, he wasn’t done.
