Earl Clark can easily be the best player in the 2009 draft

[SideSwipe]

It would be nice to get Taylors determination and toughness matched with Clark's height, shooting and defense, and you have a very good complate player. Griffin will play with a chip on his shoulder, while Clark looks like a guy he's content to go through the motions. Could be why PHX is considering keeping Taylor. They may want someone young that can help teach him about toughness and aggressiveness, who is also a high-character guy. Griffin looks like he could be a slightly tougher Duds without the outside shot.

lol damn taylor really needs some rogaine

Yeah unfortunately Rogaine doesn't work on a receding hairline... only on Male pattern baldness.

I know this, because my hairline looks just like Griffin and I just turned 23 two weeks ago.

Here is an Earl Clark video I found.

Yes, he's very good defensively, but so is Marcus Banks and he's not a good NBA player.

Clark will be nothing special.

I just have this bad feeling he'll be a bust. He was horrible offensively in the summer league.

Lopez and Tucker were suppose to be great too..

Here are some serious concerns about Clark:

- When he went up against some of the best teams this past season, he played HORRIBLY!

There was the 2-16 performance against Connecticut and the 2-9 performance against Kentucky.

- The character questions surrounding him

- He's very mechanical on offense

The only good thing about him is that he can guard guys on the perimeter.

You combine Clark's horrible shooting percentage in the summer league and his poor performances against the really tough teams in college, it's VERY worrying and I think everyone should be concerned about how well he'll do against NBA competition.

Again, yes, Clark is a good defender, but so is Marcus Banks and he's not a good NBA player.

Another bad pick by Kerr.

Tucker has been a bust and I don't think Clark will be that good, either.

I still think Lopez and Dragic will turn out to be good picks. Dragic actually played really well after Porter was fired.

And Lopez played well towards the end of the season and has a lot of promise.

That first shot at like 30seconds was a dumb move IMO. Was a lucky shot.
