That's assuming he won't be significantly rusty after the layoff. But if he isn't completely, 100% healed, I'd rather not see him play. Those hammy injuries are easily tweaked if not allowed to heal properly, it could become a season long problem for Clark if he reinjures it.

I believe our biggest problem this evening will be with the two physical bigs, 6'9 Renn and 6'11 Cluff (I wanted Cluff for the Bruins but Purdue got to him first--don't know if Cronin was interested in him though). They both rebound well on both ends of the court and both can score in the paint. And then there is Smith to deal with, probably the best PG in the country.
