Prior to signing in New Orleans, Ian Clark was very much on my free agent radar. Once Dell Demps inked him to a one-year deal, Clark instantly became the team’s most interesting reserve off the Pelicans bench. The reason was simple: his potent attack seemed a tailor-made fit for an Alvin Gentry/Chris Finch-led offense.
Before training camp, I had mentioned my affinity for Clark on several of our podcasts, believing he would emerge more important than Jordan Crawford, and gasp, possibly E’Twaun Moore. It’s been just a couple of preseason games, but I’m buying, buying, BUYING!
