Jordan Clarkson's range may be vastly improved judging from this video

Just because Jordan Clarkson signed a four-year, $50 million extension with the Los Angeles Lakers last month doesn't mean that the 24-year-old is slacking off.

It's quite the opposite judging from this video, which was released by Clarkson's trainer.

Clarkson was no slouch from beyond the arc last season, shooting a respectable 35 percent from deep. But if this is any indication, Lakers fans could be in for a treat.

But Clarkson working on his range shouldn't come as a surprise, considering the Lakers hired former Warriors assistant Luke Walton as head coach this summer. Walton probably wants to incorporate the Warriors' three-point-happy offense with the Lakers, but he will need the players who can consistently hit from deep.

Clarkson appears to have gotten the memo, and D'Angelo Russell also showed some significant improvement during his summer league stint. It's a glimmer of hope for a franchise that has won less than 30 games each of the past three seasons.
