Jordan Clarkson FIBA PHOTOWith Gilas Pilipinas set to hold camp and series of scrimmage games in Europe, the next step is to get Utah Jazz star Jordan Clarkson on board as the team looks forward to working with 2021 NBA Sixth Man of the Year in preparation for the 2023 FIBA World Cup in Manila this August. Gilas Pilipinas team manager Butch Antonio said he's currently holding dialogue with Clarkson's handlers as they try to iron out some specific details. "We are currently talking with his (Clarkson) group. The 30-year-old Clarkson averaged 25 points, 5.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists during his two-game stint with Gilas in the FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers fourth window versus Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. The amiable PBA chair believes Gilas reinforced by Brownlee and Clarkson as naturalized player, would be "beautiful to scenario."
