Lakers Insider: Jordan Clarkson Must Be 2-Way Player Regardless of Role

LOS ANGELES — This offseason, the Los Angeles Lakers made a significant, $50 million investment in third-year guard Jordan Clarkson.

On Saturday, Clarkson made his first start of the preseason, scoring 15 points during a 112-107 loss to the Golden State Warriors,

With the Lakers getting a quick rematch against the Warriors on Wednesday, head coach Luke Walton is still trying to decide on a role for Clarkson, be it off the bench as the team's sixth man or in the starting backcourt next to point guard D'Angelo Russell.

"That's something we'll figure out, if we want to try it again next game," Walton told reporters on Monday.
