He reminds me of those seniors who have sat on the bench for 4 years but still get to start their last collegiate home game, like they do at UNC and maybe other places. He always seems like he's trying hard but that he is hopelessly outclassed both physically and ability wise. The big difference is that instead of us having to see him until the first TV timeout of one game and then never again, we are forced to see him every frickin game. Hopefully when Kemba returns he will slide to the bench forever.

If only that were true.

He's not bad as a third point but he's not backup material and hence obviously not starter material.

He's had his moments this season but unfortunately they have been few and far between.

Well with Clifford's rotations it's clear that he has been sub-to-lose.
