    Something about him gives me Carl Landry vibes.

    I am kinda hoping Clark can turn into a poor man's PJ Tucker. Just a gritty role player that plays defense and rebounds. The Rockets can use another player like that.

    He definitely has the skills and the shooting touch. Landry really came on after he added a few inches on his vertical from working with the Rocket's training staff. I hope it works out the same for Clark.

    The only reason I don’t fully regret his trade is because the guy we traded him for ended up netting us Harden

    Carl Landry was a BEAST here. Wonder why he never had the same success elsewhere

    If not PJ, I'll take another LMAM too.

    He is more of a PJ type than LMAM. Clark does need to get stronger and learn to rotate defensively and handle switching.
    The good thing about him, is his focus and work ethic. A couple of good years could make a regular rotation PF. I wouldn't be surprised to see him contributing this season as well.

    Clarks comp was Luc Mbah a Moute coming out of school.

    I would be happy if he was close to either of those players.

    How in the world was he undrafted? Looks like he may end up being one of the biggest steals of Morey's career.

    I didn't watch but I see he only played 10 minutes. What do you like about him?

    He reminds me a lot of PJ Tucker. He just seems to make the whole group around him better. He isn't afraid to take an open shot and he seems to know where to be at all times. If you look in the box score you will see he was +15 for the game. The Spurs had caught up and as soon as he came in, everything seemed to click. MDA has also shown some amount of faith in him by giving him minutes with the rotation players in the preseason. That's a lot of faith in an undrafted rookie, even if it is preseason. I don't think he needs time in RGV except to get minutes. He seems ready to contribute now.

    Is he headed to the Hall of Fame with De'Anthony Melton? Is he a deal breaker? Can't be traded? :D

    He definitely has a bit of a Battier effect.

    He is an unbelievable talker on defense for a rookie. Constantly shouting out rotations.

    He needs to finish better at the rim, but I like him too, best case turns out to be pf version of Covington. But let's not get it twisted, he was +15 because he was on the floor when Carmelo went off in the end.
