After most of the Warriors' free agents had to move on to make room for the signing of Kevin Durant, reserve guard and former summer league hero Ian Clark is sticking around.
Almost exactly two years ago, Ian Clark told me during an interview at summer league that his goal was to try to show that he could be more than just a shooter.
An uber efficient 6-foot-3 guard at Belmont University, he was just another undersized player who was promising but evidently not worth the risk of a draft pick to NBA teams.
You figure there has to be enormous weight in that, chasing a dream when literally 30 NBA teams declined to put real faith in you, somehow staying true to yourself while feeling forced to be something else.
