PBA Imports Highlights: Kobe Bryant's former NBA teammate is the import of NLEX!

It seems like this will be a tradition already for the NLEX Road Warriors as they will again bring a legit NBA veteran in this upcoming tournament.

For this edition, they will bring Earl Clark who has 261 games under his belt in the NBA with 54 game starts! His career averages was 4.4 points, 3.0 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.3 steal per game.

Earl's biggest year was with the Los Angeles Lakers and under the leadership of Kobe Bryant and Pau Gasol. It was with the Lakers where he got the most number of starts in his career.

Actually, he was highly touted when he came to the NBA that he was drafted as the #14 pick. When he played with the Lakers, Kobe actually applauded his game and called him "phenomenal".

Although, looking at his stats outside the NBA, it is not that promising. The guy never averaged 15.0 points after his first tournament in the CBA.

In the 2021-2022 season, his numbers were 13.4 points, 7.3 rebounds, 1.7 assists, 1.0 block, 46% FG and 33% 3FG per game.

To simplify, he is a bigman who is capable of handling the ball and has an above-average athleticism. Although, his numbers is not that encouraging in terms of what to expect.
