I'm guessing Max isn't oblivious to the Wyatt Langford comparisons, or even just the general nature of this fanbase to bestow holy status on the draft pick that occurs immediately after the Tigers pick in any given first round. Ultimately don't know that it's constructive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also - The context is that Clark is a shoe nut - sort of Imelda Marcos of the Diamond set. He apparently has hundreds of pairs of designer shoes. So it's a hobby with him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
