    Huh ?! Quit trolling, foo.

    a Eric Gordon
    Gary Clark
    2019 first rd pick
    2020 2nd rd pick

    should do it for a player who might be a one year rental.

    Love what I saw from Clark. Thanks for posting those stats. His shooting really surprised me. He was just a PLUS all over the floor. Good solid rotational player!

    Is Clark a 4 or a 3?

    On MDA's Rockets roster, Clark can play the 3/4/5. He is strong enough to play some small ball 5 like Tucker but also versatile enough to guard wings.
    Position versatility is important. Rockets have a couple of players that can swing to different positions if need be.

    This video gives me hope that Clark can even contribute to the Rockets in the latter part of the season, perhaps even a bit earlier.

    This young man gives off a young Ariza vibe. Really like his all around game.

    I can also see him playing the 5 when Rockets go small. Like LMAM did and Tucker does now.

    I was so excited when he signed with us because Kevin Pelton was on a pod and said Clark has on of the highest chances based on stat modeling to be a starting rotation player in the draft. Basically one of the highest floors.

    After seeing him play it reinforced my excitement. He really does look comfortable out there and you can see that all the things he says about knowing his role and how to excel in it aren’t just cliches for the camera.

    If I am reading this correctly, Gary Clark had the highest number of defensive win shares in the entire nation during his last college year.

    If this guy can be our defensive ace, then get him some pt during the season, and see if he can help us against Durant and the worriers in the playoffs.

    Btw, very nice find by Morey. I love this kid already.

    I understand that morey is getting a lot of credit for signing gary clark - but let's not forget that he was originally part of cp3's aau team. cp3 knew gary clark when he was just a kid and i'm sure cp3 had a big hand in the rockets signing gary clark as well.

    I would guess that James Harden's old coach, Kelvin Sampson had his eye on him for 4 straight years too. Good scouting by the Rockets organization regardless of who gets credit.

    I am thinking he can grow into Harrison Barnes role on the Warriors before he was traded.

    That would make him very valuable in our system.
