Earl Clark?

I'm an Orlando Magic Fan(don't actually hate you guys like the other fans), but I watched Clark play last year and he has potential. He is a solid defender and very athletic. His problem is he thinks he's Ray Allen with his jumpshot selection. I believe he can give you guys solid minutes at the Small Forward spot.

I thought he would be at least a small rotational player but that seems not to have eventuated. At the 3-4 we are packed, albeit with mediocrity. We have about 5 Small Forwards who are on the same level.

Unless there is some sort of injury, he is not going to get off the bench for any meaniful minutes. He is just way too far down he bench to even think about.

That guy deserves more pt,he is all hustle and brings energy.I like that he is hungry for pt and he is backing it up when he gets a chance to play.He also plays pretty good defense.

Trade Pau for bench depth and Hill/Clark is enough to hold down the pf position.

What do you guys think about Earl Clark?

D’Antoni: “Earl Clark was phenomenal … he deserves (a shot to enter the rotation when other bigs return).”

One thing I'll say for D'Antoni, at least he's willing to change things up here and there. Clark would have needed to save Phil from a burning car while recording a triple double just to sniff some more time off the bench.

I missed most of the game... Did he only play the 4 or did he get any time in at the 3?

It was reported that he can defend the 3 too... In fact, he supposedly matches up favorably with Durant...

Any chance there's any truth to this from what he showed tonight?

Jamison didn't have that bad of a game. He had trouble shooting the three. But he came up with a couple key rebounds and tips.

With D'Antoni, you never really know who's playing what position. I'll say this much, though-- He did a decent job on Duncan, and was even assigned to Ginobli for a while. Basically, what I'm trying to say is, defensively, the kid has versatility. He's mobile, agile, has good athleticism, and great length.

And for the record, he really bothered Ginobli with his length. I don't know about Durant, though.
