So Long Jordan Clarkson ( aka Chucky McJumperson)

[Pioneer10]

Don't like him long term on this team: prefer to sign Hood and with Osman there is your backcourt of the future. Considering Hill and Calderon's probably need to find a guy like Van Fleet who can actually run an offense then be an undersized SG.

Even with Cedi late misses I'll take his defense and smarts over this chucker.

So sick of watching him just have to shoot whenever he gets the ball.

somebody needs to teach him how to know when to get rid of the ball, don't force it.

Clarkson has been playing like a braindead idiot.

I mean he was a chucker at Lakers but this is different. He wasn't this reckless. He has to learn to slow it down sometimes when shots aren't falling.

He definitely has talent but he gets tunnel vision too much. A PG like Delly would do wonders for Clarkson. Someone to keep him in check but also get him easy shots.

Yep.

Clarkson has to play alongside LeBron or Calderon.

When all Lue tells you is “just be you” “be more aggressive” or “just play faster” this is what you get, a guy who can actually coach would actually teach this young man how to play team basketball

 

[yeldem]

he dribbles too much,doesn't even think about passing the ball and goes straight to the hoop. result: turnover

He was the same 1v1 chucker in LA. He can't be fixed. He is and will always be a poor mans Jamal Crawford with horrible ball handling. I honestly would prefer he not be in the playoff rotation, and Jose takes his minutes instead.

If the team is gonna win anything they need his production and scoring. The team does not defend at all for 44 minutes a game.. They decide they’re gonna get a stop or 2 in the last 4 minutes...

Gonna need Clarkson points for those 44 minutes

Clarkson is offensively inefficient, but defensively effective. I think he will remain a second squad guy until he figures out how to score more points than shots taken..

With JR likely gone next year and Korver creeping near 40, we're going to need this guy like it or not. He's crucial for our youth movement.

Hopefully with a turnover in coaching staff we can iron out his issues and strengthen his positive attributes.

This is a on going problem with this coaching staff. It becomes so easy to defend because you know there isn't an outlet pass built in for Clarkson. We saw IT and Rose have the same problems. All they need to do is get the best passer on the floor to shift with Clarkson and if the double team come just turn around and pass it back. Let either Calderon, LeBron, or Hill use their court vision to find the open man. Clarkson's internal clock will have to adjust to give enough time for someone else to get a shot up.
