Shooting Guard

Jordan Clarkson

Although I’ve listed him as a shooting guard here, the reality is that Clarkson’s size will allow him to be more of a combo guard in the NBA. He probably won’t be skilled enough to be a pure point guard as a pro, but his skills as a playmaker could make him a really intriguing prospect as a versatile two guard.

Clarkson needs to work hard on his shooting range, having only averaged 28.1 percent from deep in Missouri last season. On the flip side, Clarkson does a great job at pushing the play in transition and finishing around the basket. Clarkson’s athleticism is bound to get some attention, but he’ll require a lot of work before he’s the finished article.

Alternate options include: Jordan Adams, C.J. Wilcox
