More than once since he first became part of the Lakers organization again, president of basketball operations Magic Johnson has made one thing very clear.
He believes Jordan Clarkson has the potential to be a great defender.
“Coming into training camp he said I could be one of the best defenders in the league,” Clarkson said. “I’m taking that to heart. It’s going to take some time but we’re all still young and growing. I feel I can do it.”
Clarkson has a scorer’s mentality and it shows in his play.
