Earl clark is definitely one of my favorite players..the dude works so hard but the biggest thing is he stays humble..in all his interviews he's very soft spoken, yeah he's from the hood but he carries himself better than most..I can't say enough of how happy I am for him..I just hope lakers management doesn't get cheap on him and won't pay him ~5mil/yr cuz with his talent he's got some money to make, as he is still pretty young, definitely a long term solution as MWP's replacement...does everything better than MWP other than post up and isn't nearly as strong but shoots better, quicker, more versatile & can guard 1-5, offensively no question has more to offer

Earl the Pearl! Wait no... Earl the Whirl? Gotta love it when hard work pays off. And you gotta love any basketball player named Earl. The Lakers also just need the chemistry of a younger guy that works hard and gives energy in the lineup.

I had faith in this guy when he was hitting big shots for Louisville and making big plays for my home town heroes. We still love you back home Earl!

Every year the Lakers have one of these not expected stand outs (Ariza, Brown, Barnes...) I sure hope Lakers choose to keep this one

Player: Pau > Earl Starting lineup: Earl > Pau Nothing against Pau but the Lakers are a bit slow with the twin towers trying to share the court with a set of 17 seasoned guards and some World Peace.

LAfanforlife805

yea the reason they like cark to start, not because he better then pau. just because he a guy you can just have guard anyone on the court. pau cant do that. plus pau been better at center then PF this season

I liked the guy from his Magic days, and was disappointed to see him included in the Dwight trade. It's good to see him taking advantage of the minutes he's been getting this season.

lakers are playing much better ball and it all started when kobe change his game. since then we beat teams like the thunder and nets

DidYouSeeThat36

All applies to this year...Kobe hasn't changed his game in 17 years, they still won

earl is the player we want howard and pau to be. a guy who can rebound,score,play good defense and get a assist and steal from time to time

On top of it he has the assassin mentality, always trying to improve, not taking the game lightly.

trojanfreek

earl will continue to improve because his mindset is defense & rebounding before scoring...

Btw, what happened to Morris and Ebanks? They're still with the roster or they have been relegated to D-league??

ripvanwillie

They both suck, why ask?
105 Days ago

LAfanforlife805

they dont suck, morris just been in a struggle and meek been playing better and ebanks there just no min for him with clark and jamison doing well

Morris isn't an NBA player yet. No court vision...poor decision making. I do like how hard he works though.
105 Days ago

LAfanforlife805

that for sure. he shown signs of a good player, just him on a fast break is bad.
105 Days ago

LAfanforlife805

no they are on the roster they just dont play. since the DUI ebanks been in the dog house and with morris struggles meeks has taken his spot

So can Earl Clark become the next Ariza for the Lakers? Both have very similar physique too.
105 Days ago

DidYouSeeThat36

Biggest question is will the Lakers keep him. They seem to let unexpected talent go
105 Days ago

ripvanwillie

I hope not. He's already better than Ariza ever was or will be.
105 Days ago

LAfanforlife805

clark a better shooter then ariza tho
