It’s ok to be honest about our favorite player. Most of Lauri’s points come from assisted layups/dunks and assisted 3s which is ****ing amazing. Let’s not act like he’s creating a bunch for others or doing a bunch of stuff off the dribble though.
What is he as a player then? Starter or a 6th man? 1 way or 2 way? Efficient or mid?I’m not going to let a bad set of 10 games skew what we know about Clarkson as a player as a whole. He was awesome for an entire season last year.
He creates in his own way but its off ball and does require a pass. Like he's not spotting up and just hoping the defense forgets. He creates offball havoc but working off down screens and such. many of his baskets are assisted and he's just not a solo iso artist.It’s ok to be honest about our favorite player.

Points per game is such a misleading stat alone, without efficiency. Self-creators are great if they shoot with high efficiency, but Clarkson generally doesn’t do that. And when you add his turnovers to that, it’s tough. I think Clarkson’s age if not helping him here either. Danny has designed his contract with trading him in mind (probably before the trade deadline this season).Yeah, I’m cool with trading him. He is one of our best self creators at the moment though as far as scoring goes.
I dont think anyone is looking at this one game. In the big picture he has been our biggest negative impact player.I think it’s obvious that he’s better off the bench as a scoring 6th man type. I want to trade him.
I just don’t agree with people using him as the scapegoat when he was good last night. We have a lot more problems than Clarkson scoring 33 points on pretty good efficiency. Yes it is infuriating at times and yes he has been turnover prone.
He always has been under both Hardy and Quin.I dont think anyone is looking at this one game. In the big picture he has been our biggest negative impact player.
My gripe is really about him being entitled to super high minutes and greenest of lights, despite being one of the leading causes of malfunctions on both ends.
yep and the opposite is true as well. efficiency without ppg needs a further look. bottom line, kick clarkson to the curb.Points per game is such a misleading stat alone, without efficiency.

I agree, and yet he has been horrible this year and I’d trade him in a heartbeat if the right deal presented itself. But I suspect with our start this year and a possible generational talent at the end of the rainbow again, that Hardy is on his own this year. We’re not going to tank intentionally, but Ainge will do nothing to make life easier for Hardy.I really don't see how Jordan Clarkson can be our biggest negative impact player.
Technically and by the advanced numbers Kessler has been our worst player, but Jordan has much larger impact on the team as whole as one of the main ball handlers and minute leaders.I really don't see how Jordan Clarkson can be our biggest negative impact player.
17.7% seems extremely high. What is a player like say lillards percentage for comparisonTechnically and by the advanced numbers Kessler has been our worst player, but Jordan has much larger impact on the team as whole as one of the main ball handlers and minute leaders.
He uses 28.6% of the offensive possessions when he is on the court (highest usage in the team), and produces worse results than 90% of NBA players (starters, bench and deep bench included). He turns the ball over in 17.7% of those possessions and scores 0.93 points per shot attempt taken (which accounts for free throws also) which are both abysmal numbers.
He sets a bad tone where the team has to run back on defense time and time again after wasted possessions where he "went to his bag" and came up with garbage.
Lillard is 10.7%. SGA is 9.1%. Good PGs are usually well under 10% (e.g. Conley at ridiculous 1.5%, CP3 at 5.6%). SGs are often around 10-12%.17.7% seems extremely high. What is a player like say lillards percentage for comparison
Hardy and DA can go debate which one is more responsible. If everyone plays below their normal level it usually points to the coach though.JC has been awful indeed. That's a fact. But he's been put in an impossible situation, just like almost all of our players.
The whole team's been a victim of coaching deliriums. Michael Jordan would have had problems within our coach lineups and psychodelic rotations.
Hardy's been crazy absurd to the point that's he's jeopardizing Jazz's path forward.
