Congratulations Fil-Am Jordan Clarkson, 46th Pick in NBA Draft
Jordan Clarkson was drafted by the Washington Wizards in the Second Round of the 2014 NBA Draft (46th Pick overall) but was traded to the Los Angeles Lakers. Clarkson averaged 18.1 points, 4 rebounds and 3.5 assists for the Missouri Tigers.
Jordan Clarkson’s Mother is a Filipina. But just like other Fil-Ams like Chris Ellis, Cliff Hodge, Sol Mercado, Jason Brickman and Stephen Holt, they are all ineligible for FIBA Tournaments and cannot join Gilas Pilipinas since they did not choose their citizenship before the age of 16.
