Jordan Clarkson is doing well representing the Philippines

Los Angeles Lakers combo guard Jordan Clarkson may not have grown up in Manila or any of the 7,107 islands of the Philippines, but he is still reppin' the country well as the only player of Filipino descent currently active in the NBA. 

Ever since coming into the league in 2014 (he was drafted by Washington before being shipped to the Lakers for cash considerations), Clarkson has been a rising star, and, biases aside, I think he has been the Lakers' most reliable talent this season. 

He currently norms 14.5 points, 2.9 rebounds, 2.3 assists, 1.3 steals, and 1.3 triples per game for the Purple & Gold. He is second on the team in scoring right behind D'Angelo Russell.
