Expert Analysis

While Seattle Academy didn’t come away with the win, there were still some solid takeaways for the Cardinals in their season opener. Clemmons was a big factor for them with his tough drives and shot-making in the midrange. He looked much better attacking off the bounce and was able to knock down some tough pull-ups and turnarounds. He’ll be a big scoring threat for them with his ability to get downhill and score around the paint.

Last season, Clemmons stood out as an athlete, but getting himself in positions to show that athleticism was a problem. He looks to have polished his game up, incorporating his jumper more and showing he can create space with the dribble. He’s an active guy who still has a lot of untapped potential but when he puts it all together, could be a guy that makes big strides and emerges as a top 1A player.

It is clear to see Clemmons is a high-end athlete in the class of 2025. He’s bouncy, explosive to the rim, and can blow by defenders with relative ease. You can see the beginnings of his game forming; good crossover, aggressive finishing, and even some nice dishes inside working off of those drives. Watching him play, it seems he knows how much of an athletic advantage he has on most kids but this can lead to him overrunning his dribble or bulldogging his way into a tough shot. It’s early for the young guard but with some focused work he has the tools to develop into an outstanding player.
