CLAYTON Mississippi State’s men’s basketball roster will have a bit of local flavor to it with Tupelo guard Tate Clayton accepting a preferred walk-on position on the team. Clayton averaged 7.2 points, 3.1 rebounds and 2.7 assists for the Golden Wave as a senior. The 6-foot-2, 170-pounder also shot 43 percent from 3-point range. Clayton is not the first member of his family to play basketball for the Bulldogs.
