He's been really inefficient despite his large point and rebound numbers. Stop turning the ball over and we're looking at a star. He and Jeff are keeping this program afloat right now.

Theres no point at looking at Clarke as 2021. By that point he'll be entering the draft from HS, or he will have reclassified to 2020. I expect coaches to recruit him as if he were a year older.
