He played a lot of PF when Gasol was out, but was able to play SF as well.
he's a versatile player with lots of hustle. like you said pau missed 33 games. d12 also missed games and had reduced mins, roles & impact in many games so earl did what every reserve is supposed to do. step up.
dude defended 2s, 3s & 4s with success. cant argue what is.

just take a look at some of clark's stuff on youtube. it gives a pretty good idea of the type of player he is. im not saying he is an allstar or deserves a ton of $$ but its not hard at all to fit his type in any system.

I agree with all of that. I remember Monty/Demps saying that we can offer FAs quality minutes, so I would think that would be something Clark is after.

I'm comparing the stats between Clark and Aminu at 82Games.com and I'm not seeing a huge statistical difference between them.

cant go of stats. im thinkin every team would choose clark over amino. clark is possibly now better than aminu may ever get. who knows.

Enlighten us as to why. Aminu put up a better PER last season and is more than 2 years younger.

We've seen enough of Amini in this system to know we need an upgrade. I haven't seen enough of Clark to know if he's the answer.

We need two SFs. Aminu would be fine getting 20-25 minutes per game (he averaged 27mpg last season, but he had a long stretch where he was getting just a few minutes, then was playing 35+ for much of the season).

i meant to say you cant go off stats alone. there is a different road to each stat. we cant argue against aminu on defense. its the offense that seprates these two. ...buy a mile. aminu offers nothing but dunks and layups. earl shoots 3's, midrange fade aways, takes his guy too the rim. you know the stuff you want from the sf, the most versatile player on the court.

That's not a pretty good 3pt shooter. That would put him as our 4th worst 3pt shooter.
Aminu has better rebounding numbers, better assists numbers, and better fg %, while only playing a couple more minutes per game.
We need a starting caliber SF not another bench guy.

That what I'm saying. This has to be top priority. One that is a legit threat to score. We need to alleviate some of the scoring pressure and defensive focus off Gordon.

6'10" much more suited to pf than sf. Will be asked to hit outside shots off the bench and rebound some but will lack perimeter d and ball control/passing.

its not the height. unless the guy is shitshort for today's game. it's the ability of the player.
"The small forward, known as the three, is typically somewhat shorter, quicker and leaner than power forwards and centers. Thus, in the NBA, small forwards range from 6 feet 6 inches to 6 feet 9 inches. The small forward position is considered to be perhaps the most versatile of the main five basketball positions, due to the nature of its role, which is sometimes similar to that of a power forward, but more often resembles the role of a shooting guard. Thus, the small forward and shooting guard positions are often interchangeable.
Small forwards have a variety of assets, such as quickness and strength inside. One common thread between all kinds of small forwards is an ability to "get to the line" and draw fouls by aggressively attempting post-up plays, lay-ups, or slam dunks. As such, accurate foul shooting is a common skill for small forwards, many of whom record a large portion of their points from the foul line. Small forwards should be able to do a little bit of everything on the court, typically playing roles such as swingmen but also as point forwards and defensive specialists."
clark is almost a perfect example

From what I saw he was much more passive preferring to shoot outside shots and lacking a quick first step. Aminu had a higher fg% than him. He has a career season of a whopping 7 pts a game on a subpar fg% and you think pelican's sf of the future? Sorry mate you're off your nut.
Guarding 2s like harden and kobe??? Lol wut

So you're saying they have the same measurables? That's it the Earl Clark is the next KD.
