On March 26, 2022, Beijing time, in the Jazz's game against the Hornets, the team's sixth man Clarkson created an NBA historical record, and the Jazz official also sent a congratulatory message!
Clarkson scored 10 points at halftime, which also allowed him to score 1113 points in the game he played off the bench this season, and he scored 1224 points on the bench last season, which also made him the first player in NBA history to score 1100 points as a substitute for two consecutive seasons!
It can be said that Clarkson's position in the Jazz team is still very important, he can use his excellent personal scoring ability to form a system, so that the Jazz's second team can have a very good effect. So far this season, Clarkson has averaged 16.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.2 assists per game, averaging 2.4 three-pointers per game, making him the team's third-est scorer, behind Mitchell and Bojan!
Although his average data per game this season has dropped significantly compared to last season, whether it is points, rebounds, or assists, there have been different degrees of decline, and the average shooting percentage and three-point shooting rate per game, as well as the free throw shooting rate, have also dropped to a certain extent, but he is still the most important player in the Jazz this season, and the current position is also irreplaceable! But judging by his efficiency this season, it may be difficult to compete for the title of best sixth man!
For the Jazz, they currently have the fourth place in the West this season, but their ranking is not particularly stable, and it is likely to be surpassed by the Lone Rangers behind them, so they need to open the gap as soon as possible! In the playoffs, their ceiling this season is actually not so high, Mitchell + Gobert has been there for so many years, if the bench led by Clarkson can give them enough help, this Jazz team still has a certain chance to create magic!
