If he keeps using his body like that this is an entirely different basketball team. Clarkson, however, is starting to look like the 2010 Chiefs: he can beat the piss out of horrible teams, but he's garbage against real competition.

He did, however, play well enough early to force Arkansas to use its best defender, Ky Madden, on him rather than on Jabari Brown. Really helped Brown get off, in my opinion, because he just abused the small guards they tried to put on him the rest of the game.
I think Madden is the only guy Arkansas has with the size, strength and length to consistently guard Brown and Clarkson (and maybe even Ross). That's trouble.
Also was enjoyable to be on the other side of demolishing a Mike Anderson team on the glass and getting a lot of wide open, high percentage looks.
