LA LAKERS

Note: this is not a knee-jerk reaction but rather my thoughts after watching every Laker game this year.

Jordan Clarkson is frightfully one-dimensional. He's got great skills as a scorer, especially for someone drafted in the second round but he should not be in the game when we're trying to close games out. If we're going to have a scorer in during the final minutes of a game, I'd prefer someone like Swaggy and/or Lou because they are more versatile and know how to get fouled and/or PASS the ball if they don't get the shot they want. I think he's taking good looks away from our shooters and playmakers and settles for contested jumpers that rarely fall towards the end of a game.

What do you guys think? I hate trade talk around our young core and I know a lot of this sub believes he's the "leader" of our team, but at some point we've got to evaluate who's the most expendable of this group and I truly believe it's him.
