I see a lot of posts about Clarkson and his plateauing, etc. I think he is fine the way he is, even if he improves little! he can get his shot pretty much anytime, and just think if he had other "stars" around him what he could do. Defense is always a question mark with all "littles", these days..........easier to see it in bigs. AAU crap is all offense, so no wonder. I would rather we build a core from who we have, at this point. A few years ago I say mortgage the farm to utilize Kobe for another ring, but that ship sailed............ Unless someone has an attitude problem that is insurmountable, I say try to build on what we got (young players). The role players like Hibbert and Bass can be useful, although it looks like I could outjump Roy, right now, even on my broken hip!!!
