It’s been almost nine months since Jordan Clarkson has started his private workouts with Steve Nash. The meetings began as just film work, then moved to hands-on training in about 30-minute sessions, with some lasting up to two hours.
Yesterday we heard how much Steve Nash respects and sees potential in Jordan Clarkson, a player who has worked hard from his time in the D-League, to becoming one of the most promising starters for the Lakers.
Nash responded to Lakers Nation during their interview, by saying the following on Clarkson:
“I think he’s very humble and hard working, but he has confidence. He has that security in himself to say, ‘Okay, I don’t know everything, I’m going to learn where I can, and try to get better and use every tool.’ He has a lot of wisdom for a young player.”
LakersNation.com writes the following:
“Nash attributes Clarkson’s success to his “work ethic and personality” and only expects it to grow.
He’s a great person, first of all, and I think he’s a really talented basketball player and incredibly coachable and works hard. I think the sky’s the limit for him.”
The two have yet to hit the court together this summer, although Clarkson told LakersNation.com that he hopes he can get some work in with both Nash and Kobe Bryant before the summer’s end. Nash has yet to work out with Lakers rookie D’Angelo Russell, though Clarkson hinted at that being a possibility earlier this summer.
That’s exciting for Laker fans to have two guys, D’Angelo (Russell) and Jordan (Clarkson), both big guards that can handle the ball and it’s kind of a fascinating and exciting backcourt for the future here.”
I’m excited to see what Clarkson is going to do this season, and frankly, if Nash approves then so do I!
