gentry wants defense and he will not stop experimenting until he gets it

His work ethic is the reason he's getting minutes over Warrick. And why are we calling him "thuggish"?

Have you seen his twitter and the pics he posts and **** he says?

Stop being so butazz

In all seriousness though, I think this points to a larger issue. Dude talks "urban" or "ghetto", so we assume he's a "thug", or "uneducated".

I think that's a pretty unfair assumption to make about anyone just based off their diction.

You're absolutely right -- but that in conjunction with the pics he posts and fools that are in them, it's hard to make the argument that he's not influenced heavily by thuggish / gangster culture.

I will only agree with you if I see a news report that he went to a night club at 3 am and shot himself because he forgot to put the safety on his gun.

I look at Clark's playing time as being auditioning minutes.

I am beginning to hum along with Hunter's song... if clark makes it as a Sun for the yr, it is then up to this hiphop-ziptop to prove something in summer league. But I doubt it will be here. Would you stick around if you were EC ? He's going to be playing on a minimum deal somewhere, so its not a question of money. More so opportunity, which might be better found in Europe.

IMO, I believe that Clark is the best athlete next to JRich that the Suns currently have in their roster. The difference between him and Dragic and Lopez is that he hasn't gotten the opportunities that they got from Alvin. I remember that we were all bashing Dragic and Lopez for the lack of production. As we are currently bashing Clark . Then they get their opportunity and the began to flourish. As I mention before, Clark is by far the best wing defender in our team. I would love to see lineup consistent of Lopez, Frye, Clark, Dudley and Dragic. That's a long, athletic and most importantly, a defensive unit.

Right but it's arguable whether he's athletic (as he hasn't shown it, regardless of the reason) and he is a bad defender.
