Second-round picks in the NBA Draft usually don’t have impactful NBA careers on average, unless you’re Jordan Clarkson and a Los Angeles Lakers franchise that hasn’t tried to win games since they tried to convince Dwight Howard to stay all those years ago.
Clarkson hasn’t set the world on fire by any means, but he’s gotten a fair shake during his three seasons in Los Angeles as a combo guard. Still, with the Lakers keeping their pick at No. 2 overall in the 2017 NBA Draft and their sights likely set on drafting homegrown guard Lonzo Ball from UCLA, Clarkson could be the odd man out for the Lakers next season.
