Very nice to see, solid 15 point, 4 rebound game for the freshman.

Hopefully build some confidence to take over into next season.
 
Wish he would have hit that last free throw...regardless, nice game. As I put somewhere else, him and Pledge needed to step up. Both did.

I've criticized him the last couple of weeks, but he really played well.



It's amazing how much better we are offensively when he and Pledge hit some shots

I thought Pledger took a couple of "NO, NO, NO,....YES!!!" shots, but he did play above average for him.

It's nice to see Clark taking it to the basket. That should be his game. He's a slasher not a set-shot shooter.

His game is midrange J's, which would be much more open for him if defenders had to respect his driving ability.

He needs to get bigger though. If he adds some muscle in the off-season, the sky's the limit for this kid. Besides all his talent, his bball IQ is pretty high.


I also liked Pledger coming off the bench today. I don't know if we'll see that next year since Cade is leaving, but having his offense coming off the bench would be nice.
 
Clark definitely needs to be more of a slasher. He's too athletic not to be.
 
Cam's game should be slashing and coming off screens and hitting midrange jumpers. He needs to be in motion as much as possible to take advantage of his natural gifts.
 
Loved that "And 1" where he was fouled hard and still hit the shot. The guy has a great ability to hang in the air off of drives. I sure hope that he turns up the aggression next year and looks to be a scorer.
 
Clark was either consistently bad for long stretches or consistently good for long stretches this year. I hope he can stay consistently good next year because it'll be tough going without Cade next year.
 
I was really pleased to see him take a more aggressive approach and have some success with it today. Hopefully he can continue that in the Big 12 Tournament and take that confidence with him into the offseason.

Agreed. Him and Blair are the only two guys that can consistently beat opponents off-the-dribble. The offense is so much better when he is aggressive.
 
I actually saw some toughness from Cam during Bedlam. On a couple of rebounds, he stuck his nose in there against Moses/Pilgrim, and really battled on the boards. GOOD TO SEE!!!:clap:clap

I believe that this offseason will do wonders for him, and we will see a large improvement going into next yr.....
 
Clark needs to pattern his game after O-states Olumkemi. And Olumkemi needs to learn to pull up and shoot the J.
 
When he's aggressive with the dribble offfensively, he's a different type of player. He needs to play that way more often.
 
Im sure Clark playing the 2 is a more natural fit for his game right now. I also liked Pledger coming in off the bench and being a guy who can bring instant offense with 3s.

Why him? He had a terrible game last night and hasn't put up great numbers. In fact he's really struggled the last 1/3 of the season. Cam needs to pattern his game like Cam.

I agree. JP was terrible on the road for most of the year.
