In response to Penndemonium
Curious to see whether defense is really an issue. Depending on the makeup of the team, it can be a lot easier to hide one small defender on a high major squad. Mike Smith, for example, was at times a defensive liability at Columbia, where he had to carry the load offensively and had to handle some of the toughest defensive assignments. I thought he was fine at Michigan. You could say some similar things about Jordan Dingle. So I wouldn’t be surprised if Clark is fine defensively at USC, particularly if he comes off the bench and/or plays shorter stints. I also think he can probably function as a shooter. Just because he didn’t fill that role at Penn doesn’t mean he can’t.
