[I've Seen Enough] And Now I've Grown To Love Chris Clemons

Like isiah. Lol I hate him

 

I love how Stocky Clemons' is.

 

The Moar guards the better For SmallTony!!!!

 

Harden’s new “Cannon” but better. He’s got some ups for sure!

 

Time to offer him a 6 year $42 million contract!

 

You guys were asleep, but two (minor) things that stood out to me in the Hawaii game:

He ran right into a pesky Bev and knocked him down.. It wasn't intentional, but man this guy is a bully.

He was yelling at Harden to give him the ball so he could shoot.

We stan a confident dude.

 

Waiting till Rockets release him, someone picks him up and he destroys us everytime we play against him

 

he'd be a good fit on the Clippers

 

I don't dislike him, but guess I'll be the party pooper. He should make the roster...

but, so far, he seems to stand out to me because of his size. if he was 6'4, this wouldn't be as impressive yet. he's shooting 12 threes a game at 33%. I'm not sure that's impressive yet. having the confidence to take shots does not make you an nba player. it's nice to have, sure.

he apparently rebounds... he has 6 rebounds in 41 minutes of action. Again, because of his size, that's seemingly great. Blossingame has 19 rebounds in 27 minutes.

He's been ok dishing the ball - it's really hard to tell, you have to factor in who he is passing to in the garbage time, but he's not Rondo out there or Kidd in terms of a passing savant type.

What I see is an incredibly fun player to watch, a little dude, who can get hot but otherwise has has done a lot of ok chucking.

The big issue here is we're stacked at guard. From that perspective I'm almost as impressed with Blossomgame so far. He doesn't "jump out of the screen" in the exciting way Clemons does. But he's scored efficiently and done the dirty work so far. I'm not sure how good of a 3 point shooter he is, in college he did hit 45% his highest volume year from three, but most of the time was under 30%. It really all comes down to his shooting, but on a team that might need to rely to heavily on Thabo Sefalosha off the bench, Blossomgame could be the younger version of that... but if he can't shoot, he can't shoot. If he can, I think it might be easier to get Blossomgame to learn to be a 3&D rebounding role player than to find time for Clemons.

All that said, besides the usual suspects, Clemons and Blossomgame are the two others that I think deserve a shot. Would have liked to have seen Bennett. I have no confidence in either Clark or Hartenstein.

 

I'm also fading him, sorry. But guys like Clemons can make a difference when they're taking the green light to try and make a roster against weaker competition, then disappear when they're expected to coexist with better players. What role can he play when he's asked to do less? That's my concern. I don't see it yet.

 

Run the floor and shoot open 3's?

 

I hope he works out but I wouldn't bet on it. Shooting a high volume of 3s is neat but unless his percentage sees a nice uptick people will grow tired of it and turn on him.

 

I don’t buy into things like summer league or preseason performance all that much...all I’ll say about this dude right now is that he’s fun to watch in that role player who’s a gunner type of way

 

Blossomgame has the better name though.

 

Bobby Brown had a role on this team. Wouldn't be surprised if Clemsons takes that role if he stays. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

We really haven't seen how much of a liability on defense he might be yet. I love everything else about him, but I can see him getting abused by an All Star caliber guard.

 

Gordon Lite?
