I don't need to be told that my comparison is way off base; I've probably seen both of these players twice as many times as you have. The one commonality between the two is that they are undersized combo guards who were overlooked just for that reason. Beyond that, Clark is a pure shooter, and Beauford a pure athlete. There aren't too many similarities past that point. But my point was that they are two undersized combos who deserved to be recruited at a much higher level. Not that their games were similiar in some other regard.

And FYI, it is NOT Clark's ballhandling ability that makes him so good. He is an adequate ballhandler, not a great ballhandler. It's his ability to shoot off the dribble, with hands in his face, or to connect in otherwise difficult situations. He's also a terrific passer with very good vision. But he is not the amazing ballhandler that you are making him out to be.

As far as Beauford, Stony Brook will play him off the ball. He will earn minutes. His defensive capabilities and athleticism will make him a valuable reserve.

I don't see why we can't have a slight difference of opinion?
Never did I say Clark was an "amazing" ballhandler what I said was the difference (in my humble opinion) was that Clark has a much better handle than Beauford.
And by the way don't think that you are the only one who has seen kids play. You would be surprised at what I do for a living!!!!
