Great article shedding a little light on how JC fell to us:

Jordan Clarkson didn't get off the bench in the Lakers' latest game, as if that was even close to a travesty.

His real edification on the unpredictability of life came last year, after the best game of his college career at Missouri.

He had just blitzed Kentucky for 28 points — Kentucky! — and earned an immediate sit-down with his dad and stepmom, who were in town. They came with a purpose, it turned out, leaving their San Antonio home for a few life-changing days in Missouri.

Some people were bringing up this dip in production last year in college after we traded for his draft rights...makes a lot more sense now.

Man that sucks. I hope the best for his father and his career. I really hope he flourishes. on the team and stays with us long term.

I still have high hopes for this kid. I hope he stays with us for a very long time. Clarkson and Randle are our future. I fully believe this kid can turn into something special, along with Randle.
