Life looks good for Jordan Clarkson. Over the last two years the Los Angeles guard has gone from being the 46th overall pick in the NBA draft, a player whose stock was low enough that the Lakers were able to purchase his rights on draft night for cash, to the All-Rookie first team in 2015 and being universally recognized as a piece of the Lakers' young core alongside three first round picks in Julius Randle, D'Angelo Russell, and Larry Nance, Jr.
Making things look even rosier for Clarkson is his restricted free agency this summer.
