Last night, as I was watching Game 3 of the Cleveland-Toronto NBA conference semifinal series, Jordan Clarkson drove to the basket and made a tough reverse layup, and the announcers waxed generic about his offensive potential.
Clarkson would finish the game with only five points on seven shots — obviously not his best outing — but that sent me down a rabbit hole of sorts. I ended up at Basketball Reference, sorting through the stats of former Mizzou players in the pros.
At the moment, Clarkson’s career scoring average is the best that any Mizzou player has produced at the NBA level.
