Clachko, a senior guard out of Staples High School, continues to be among the top perimeter scorers in the state of Connecticut. The Connecticut College bound guard does a nice job of scoring it in a variety of ways, showing the ability to play on or off the ball, and showing good instincts as an off ball mover. He’s elite in catch and shoot situations from behind the three point line and has done a nice job of developing his off the bounce game over the years. He leverages his shooting to attack closeouts, has the ability to score it in the mid-range, and does a nice job of scoring with touch to finish over size around the rim.

Clachko, a senior guard out of Staples High School, has a chance to be one of the state’s top scorers this winter. The combo guard does a nice job of operating both as an off-ball mover and an on-ball creator. He uses screens to his advantage to get open as a scorer, has a quick release on his jumper, and shows some creativity as a finisher around the rim. The depth of his scoring arsenal is a seperator for him. On the other end of the floor, he knows how to play angles and does a nice job of making plays in passing lanes.

Clachko does an excellent job staying low on his dribbles and getting to the hoop with his handle. Once he gets into the paint, he does a great job finding spray outs and dump down passes. He’s super quick and gets by defenders with ease, so he makes tons of these decisions throughout the game. He has scored 1,000 points at Staples High School and should be a big time star for them next season. I would imagine high level D3 schools taking a look at Clachko, who can certainly run your squad comfortably despite being 5-foot-11. He’s a true floor general with tons of quickness and skill.
