Lakers News: Jordan Clarkson Not Bothered By New Bench Role

At this point, there is no doubt that the Los Angeles Lakers got a steal when they bought the 46th pick in the 2014 NBA Draft from the Washington Wizards for $1.8 million. The pick was used to select Missouri guard Jordan Clarkson, who has gone on to become an integral part of a rebuilding Lakers team.

In his rookie season, Clarkson played most of his minutes at point guard and then had to shift to shooting guard during his sophomore campaign to make way for the arrival of 2015 second overall pick D’Angelo Russell.
