Size and skills a decent comparison, but Beard has much better on ball IQ and sees the court as a point guard, that wasn't something Clark had, Clark was good off ball and could drive and kick, but not run the team on the court. And Clark was freakishly long for a guy his size. He had wingspan of a 7-footer. Looked like he could tie his shoes without bending over. Sadly, that never translated into the kind of defensive prowess that seemed possible for him. Beard is way more of a standard off-the-rack combo in terms of measurables and skills. Really needs to work on his shot if he wants to see significant minutes on Hilltop. Long but not 7 feet. I believe it was a 6-7 wingspan at a height of 6-2.

Good post. How would you assess Mark Jackson (st John’s/ knicks/ pacers) as a point guard? Mark Jackson was a really good point. He also had a really good shot and ability to get to the rim and he looked for himself. He was incredibly good floor general changing things up as needed. He was one who was really good at the pass to assist (particularly on the Pacers). His PG skills and IQ improved the longer he was in the league and the second tour with the Knicks and paired with Allan Houston I thought was a really good pairing. His first stint with the Knicks he really was a combo guard as his PG IQ wasn't the greatest, but his value was as a tough off ball guard. One of my favorite point guards was Tim Hardaway in Golden State's Run TMC years, but also in Miami. Also Magic who saw the court amazingly well and has insanely good passes that his teammates in perfect shooting motion ready to go up as well as leading them to the correct side to roll off a defender easily. I think you'll enjoy this podcast with Isiah Thomas. You can just see the wisdom and BB IQ pouring out of him when he speaks. Talks about how the point guard position and skills have changed due to the no hand checking rules. *from 1:05 talks about changes in the game

#3 has had a tough go in recent years. Hopefully, he can change that.

Yeah, that's what they told me Professor. They pretty much told me to shut up because these are 2020's and not the 1990's although I didn't say anything about the 1990's. But anyway, what do I know? I'm just a boy who grew up into a man loving the program and following it's rich history and longing for better days, knowing that we could tap into that rich history for recruits.

Yes - Knicks were apparently using TAC for practice before playing the Wizards.

Not talking about those programs that send players annually. NBA teams used to use McDonough on occasion too. Don’t get me wrong - it is cool that this happens, but I don’t think this is all that new and I don’t think it really helps us much.
