Do you remember in the movie ‘Toy Story” when Andy gets a Buzz Lightyear for his birthday and Woody is replaced by the flashy new space ranger? That is what has happened to Lakers guard Jordan Clarkson.
Just a few months ago, Clarkson was the shooting guard of the future for the Purple and Gold. He was supposed to fill the hole at the 2 left by Kobe Bryant and lead the Lakers back to relevancy alongside D’Angelo Russell, Julius Randle and Brandon Ingram. Instead, he’s been the subject of some pretty harsh criticism in the midst of an up and down season.
