Clarkson has talent, and could yet be molded into a solid NBA rotation player, but my feeling would be that he doesn’t currently do any one thing well enough to entice a contending team like the Clippers.

He doesn’t shoot well enough to be a two guard, and he’s not a strong enough passer to play point guard right now, so it begs the question as to where exactly does Clarkson fit.

On a rebuilding team, where he has room to learn, Clarkson could definitely improve, but with the Clippers in “win now” mode, that’s not a match in my eyes.
