    The 6 and the 8 can be hard to differentiate. Facially they don't look anything alike, but from the back from a distance, I could understand the confusion.

    Clark knows exactly what he can and can't do. Hope can develop into one of the leagues best 3&D role players out there.

    Yeah Battier's rookie season was an anomaly...

    One aspect that I see with Gary similar to Battier is their restraint. Gary almost never fouls, or turns the ball over. Basically everything he does is in the +...

    How about "Bright Light"? I think that's a killer nickname.

    Playing Clark and Hartenstein shows that D'antoni is willing to play rookies as long as they show some signs of intelligence. Rookies will make mistakes obviously, but they need to be somewhat ready. Zhou last year and Chriss this year are just examples of guys that don't know how to play yet.

    Years from now Kawhi will be known as "Gary Clark lite".
    Or Clark will be "KK" (Kawhi Killer). DoubleK maybe?
    At any rate Kawhi's transformation from "defensive specialist" to all-NBA type player has taught me not to set limits on anyone's ceiling.
    Keep on improving GC!!!





    Yeah but his hair looks almost brand new!
    Strange......

    Give this summer for Clark to perfect his 3-point shot and this guy will all of sudden become one of the best 2-way players. Dude is already great at defense.

    He’s a great weak side shot blocker which is odd but freaking awesome.

    I don’t know if some of you guys know how valuable that is with our switching scheme.

    He’s release on his shot is pure. It’s just when he misses it’s because he’s rushing it like he’s nervous and trying to not make a mistake.

    He’s going to be a 40% three point shooter imo their is no doubt about it.

    If he can keep it up and listen to cp3 harden and tucker. He’ll be the 6th best player on our team by playoffs.

    I’m all I’m on Gary Clark he has big balls and was not scared going against Durant greens and klay.

    Guy is legit a good player if he improves his Handles he could be a Draymond green type player.

    Shoot I think Clark can be a legit 12 7 and 4 guy with elite three point shooting and 1 block and 1 steal a game.

    Basically like a Draymond green.

    Just have to get more comfortable with his ball handling.

    Has he been good since the GS game? (n=2)

    Just box score watching, but he hasn't been all that productive since...

    I'm distantly related to Clark, that Clark, of Lewis and Clark, not our Clark, but it isn't why I think it's a bad idea. Gary Lewis was the lead singer of Gary Lewis and the Playboys. Does our Clark look like a playboy, or one of the Playboys? (image below) No, not in my opinion. You have to give the guy, our Clark, some time to become famous. He'll forge his own famous identity. Wait and see! Someone send a message to our broadcast team. Please?
