In our third piece on Los Angeles Clippers draft prospects, the spotlight continues to shine on guards who will potentially be available in the late part of the first round. After having already assessed the talents of UCLA guard Jordan Adams, and Xavier floor general Semaj Christon, this time let’s look at Jordan Clarkson.

The 22-year-old Clarkson is a combo guard coming out of the University of Missouri. Clarkson could well end up being a point guard in his professional career, but he has good size, giving him the potential to play on the wing too.

Just like all of the other young prospects in the draft, Clarkson has his fair share of strengths and weaknesses. So, without further ado, let’s take a closer look at his game overall, and assess if he could be a fit for the Clippers.
