Scouting report from On3’s Jamie Shaw
John Clark has a strong frame with nice length. Listed around 6-9, he can knock down a shot and rebound his area. All of this gives him a relatively high floor as he continues to progress in levels. He is a solid straight-line athlete. The hips are a little tight which slows his lateral movement a bit. Walls up well on the block and understands rotations, not a rim protector and has switchablity questions. Like to see him develop some off the bounce. Become more of a threat from the elbows and wing areas. Can knock down a pick and pop shot and comfortable when his feet are set with solid balance points and a consistent release. He is a nice player who does some translatable things.
