Clarkson was 2nd team All SEC in his only season at MU, and he is second all time in program history behind only Willie Smith in ppg as a first year Tiger. He wasn't wasted here. He has considerably improved his outside shooting since leaving MU, which was a weakness in his game, and was trying to learn a new position due to Pressey leaving early for the NBA. He has become a much more well rounded player as a professional, as is almost always the case.

We beat W. Virginia in the Big 12/SEC challenge. Beat UCLA. Beat NC State. Lost on a buzzer beater in the Braggin Rights game. Won some SEC road games. Swept Arkansas. Trailed by only a possession to UK in the final minute. Etc. That is while starting a freshman and Rosburg as a sophomore as our frontcourt. 5th in the nation in made free throws because of our propensity to attack the rim. Finished 6th in the SEC, and with only 23 total wins, so we didn't deserve to be in the NCAA tourney. Yes, that wasn't a very good season by MU standards. But it seems so absurdly out of reach now that it is crazy to speak disparagingly about that season, yet many MU fans consistently crap on that season and the 2012-13 season.

Stupid post feefee - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/27 11:12:25

Oh, and if Ross was on this team, he'd be our best player. - Evenflow MU - 10/27 10:41:49

Ross would probably avg 25 ppg this year on this team - FIJItiger MU

- 10/27 10:52:11

Ross wasn't that good - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 11:04:58

He is better than anyone on the roster now. - sharpwp UNC - 10/27 12:44:47

Yea I agreed with that aspect - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 12:58:04

Its relative, I'm talking about if he played on this roster - FIJItiger MU

- 10/27 11:46:27

So am I, he's not good enough to average - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 11:51:15

Probably hyperbole on my part, should have probably said - FIJItiger MU

- 10/27 11:52:31

That's still high for him - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 12:09:35

Ross should have been the 4 on that team - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 10:51:39

To be good, it needed Pressey not to leave early - FIJItiger MU

- 10/27 10:52:55

Add Pressey back and another 3 point specialist - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 10:59:01

And he was playing with Jabari Brown - TheLegend MU - 10/27 09:17:28

If Dixon had kept his nose clean - Rabbit Test MU - 10/27 09:31:27

No his final year would have been - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 09:34:07

JC has improved tremendously the last couple of years. He - sprintcar STL - 10/27 09:23:51

He has improved things like his shot big time - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/27 09:29:23

Those teams were brutal to watch (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/27 09:56:03

How would you describe our team since? (nm) - quicksand MU - 10/27 10:19:11

What MidMo said below: brutal but with no talent (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/27 10:32:04

The 3 years since Pressey left have all been - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 10:21:29

Brutal but not with NBA level player(s)(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/27 10:21:16

So really, really brutal? (nm) - quicksand MU - 10/27 10:26:49

Yes(nm) - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/27 11:13:11

And no chance of winning games (nm) - TheLegend MU - 10/27 10:32:45

I'll never forget a text from my cousin asking - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/27 10:00:09

Tulsa did the same thing last year. That team was loaded and - Uncle John MU

- 10/27 10:22:26

They were picked to finish #4 in the AAC pre-season - quicksand MU - 10/27 10:30:53

Which was good, I just thought that team had the talent to - Uncle John MU

- 10/27 10:34:29

That core had been an NCAA team 2 years earlier - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 10:49:56

Yes he has. And there's no doubt about that. That team - sprintcar STL - 10/27 09:36:15

Exactly, and couple that with the fact that good old - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/27 09:44:32

And Earnest Ross, that's 3 pretty damn good - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/27 09:20:48

Really Clarkson and Ross weren't very good shooters - wu-tangtiger MU - 10/27 09:36:12

Not percentage wise but Ross definitely saved us - MidMoBaller4Life MU - 10/27 09:42:58

he was a very good 3rd option(nm) - ajpe53 MU
