Here's the final line of the AP Report at ESPN.com about Georgetown's victory over Seton Hall on January 14, 2010 that planted a montrous seed of an idea in my mind:
"It was frustrating," Clark said. "That was refreshing, and it kind of gets my
confidence back."
The offensive creativity Clark displayed on a few occassions during his freshman year that he was unleashed (only at the end of the shot clock) made me instantly a fan. A loose reincarnation of one of my all-time favorite college players, Jamar Wilson, with a few extra inches height and Stretch Armstrong-esc reach.
But that quote, more innocent than I remember, struck me as just a little off-tune. The Hoyas were 13-2 at the point and #11 in the country and the quote seemed to beg for qualification about the team. "It's been frustrating personally and I'm glad the team has been gotten off to such a good start while I get my confidence back."
Since Clark is the #1 man next year, it is both unlikely and unwise to cut his minutes, but if the situation requires our lineup to go big and Clark loses a larger cut of minutes than others, I have the uneasy feeling that another Sapp-CWright conflict is not out of the question.
Hope I'm wrong and that the intensity Nate "I accidentally close-lined an opponent at Kenner" Lubick and Starks helps usher in an era of increased defensive intensity to match the offensive power our backcourt brings.
