    He is a great ball handler for his size, is a good athlete, has a good shot, but this season he only got spot and garbage minutes.

    In that limited time, he fell in love with his jumper and would jack up shots(some more awful then others), but when he did drive to the whole and got aggressive he showed some of the potential he has to be a great player

    His man d was good, as expected, but he easily got lost in defensive rotations.

    It might be too early to judge though since both Lopez and Dragic had pretty rough rookie seasons and like i said before he only got a few minutes a game.

    What do you think?

    I think Clark still has time to find his place in the NBA. Pheonix is bringing him along slowly, as expected for a team who played in the Western Conference Finals. With Grant Hill singing on for one more year I would expect Clark to play more next season and eventually take over for Hill. I think that is what the play is anyways,but tweener forwards can be some of the best and most effective players in the game, but they also have a high bust ratio.

    He’s a big-time talent and he’s extremely physically gifted and a good athlete. He has nice passing ability and ball-handling skills, but he’s not yet a consistent shooter. He also could stand be more aggressive as a slasher as you said. A good on-ball defender and rebounder too. And pretty good in transition.

    I think he’s their SF of the future. He can be a mismatch problem. He’s not a true “scorer” but I think he can get you 14 ppg and like 6 or 7 rpg with 1 spg and 1 bpg. He should get alot better next season and beyond. I’m big on Earl Clark as a prospect.

    Yea I agree. Just wasn’t much time for him to get minutes, has he’s still growing and adjusting to the game. I definitely see him being a good contributor even as soon as next year, with grant hill not getting any younger, and when you consider that natural development from 1st to 2nd yr. I see him having a Jeff Green type impact in this league.
