Among the Los Angeles Lakers’ young core, the one who has shown the most at the NBA level so far has been second-year guard Jordan Clarkson. While Julius Randle and D’Angelo Russell have been more flashes of potential at this stage, Clarkson has already shown what he can do, ranking second on the team in scoring last season.
As a second-round pick in 2014, Clarkson signed only a two-year deal, making him a restricted free agent this summer. It is widely assumed that Clarkson will be retained by the Lakers, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t outside interest in him.
