MANILA, Philippines — The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to take notice of Jordan Clarkson’s stint with the Philippine national team.

After rolling out a piece about his participation, the Cavaliers, through a Twitter posting, made a mixtape for its starting guard.

It features all of Clarkson’s tough shots and booming triples against the perennial powerhouse China, who beat the Nationals by just two points on Tuesday night.

Clarkson finished with 28 points to lead a team he barely even knows. The 6-foot-6 cager from Texas, whose Filipino roots trace through his mother, just joined the team for five days before the tussle against China.

 

 

We’ll get to see more from Clarkson as Team Philippines shoots deeper into the 2018 Asian Games men’s basketball tournament in Jakarta, Indonesia.
