    It’ll be better then starting small forwards at center.

    I don't know, Faried has been playing pretty badly on average when given opps that last couple of seasons...

    The only positive thing you can say is that he'll be playing with Gawden soon.

    That doesn't make any sense. The people that were rooting for Melo and MCW to play well for the Rockets are definitely the same people that have hope Faried will play well with the Rockets.

    Yeah, people hope scrubs who once had success would exceed on this team.

    At rebounding and dunking? Yeah. Clark can’t make a 3 to save his ass anyway

    He's a stopgap and the 10th player off the bench when this team is healthy. That's it. He's gonna be helpful to fill in by rebounding and playing some D. Maybe get some lobs and putbacks, but he isn't going to be doing 20/20 like Capela.

    10th player no. He immediately becomes the backup 5 when this team is healthy. And that’s definitely not 10th player

    I picked the second option even though it's garbage.

    He's not washed, the league is just way past his time.

    The same way Austin Rivers is making a difference until Eric Gordon and Chris Paul came back. He is going to be excited and motivated and hopefully by the time it wears out, the team won't need it as much.

    Bad defender and can’t shoot but well suited as the #3 center who can sometimes give nene a rest

    Clark is a better player if he improves his 3s to 36%.

    For 1 month, it will help that he's an option.

    As far as moving our championship needle, not at all. Would rather have Nene and Tucker eat the backup 5 minutes against the Warriors.
