The 6-1 point guard has a calm and collective game where he has a dangerous jump shot as well as a smooth attack for the basket. Clarke is also a great facilitator which forces a tough decision for the defense on whether he’s going to make the crisp pass or shoot from the perimeter. Clarke has received offers from Kennesaw State, Stetson and UNC-Asheville so far this summer.

The 6-0 point guard has great court vision and has a tight handle when he has the basketball in his hands. His shooting from beyond the arc is an attention-seeker as he dropped a game-high 23 points on Saturday for Lake Highland Prep in a win over Savannah (Georgia). His defense on the ball was also note-worthy whether he was jumping into the passing lanes or stripping the ball away from his opponent he can turn defense into offense really quickly.

The definition of a floor general, any ball club would be lucky to have a point guard as skilled as Clarke. With excellent court vision whether on the fast break, while driving to the basket or just dissecting the defense, the junior point makes difficult passes look routine. When he’s looking to create his own offense, Clarke is just as skilled a finisher, making multiple strong takes to the cup around longer and bigger defenders.
