Clark has been outstanding all year and continued to be an anchor for the Irish against Garfield in a big win. He showed a lot of different things on the offensive end, splashing down midrange shots, driving by players from the perimeter, using a quick shimmy to open up jump hooks in the lane. He also displayed the hands to catch tough passes and quickly rebalance to attack the hoop and made some nice help side blocks on the other end.

Clark’s improvement over the course of a year has been truly remarkable. He’s become a true presence in the paint, punishing smaller teams on the glass and finishing inside, while maintaining his ability to take bigger, slower defenders off the dribble from further out. O’Dea can feed him in the post and let him go to work, he can work on the offensive glass to get put backs, and he’s shown the ability to take the ball in the open court and put a nice, quick move on defenders to turn them or leave them behind. He’s a versatile forward who’s had some beastly games inside.

Previous Rank: 40rnThe 6-foot-7 forward has already committed to Air Force next year and has been a much more assertive player in the early games this season. He is the post presence for O’Dea and has been an active player on the glass and picking up scraps around the rim. He also shows an ability to take opposing bigs off the dribble from the perimeter, though he doesn’t show a ton of moves out there, he can effectively use either hand for straight line drives. When he was younger he tended to rely more on the jumper, but even as he’s gotten more physical inside he’s retained the ability to knock down open jump shots.
