Jordan Clarkson is staying put. The microwavey guard signed a four-year deal with the Jazz on Friday, his agent Rich Paul told ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. Clarkson’s deal will be worth $52 million. Utah acquired the streaky scorer from Cleveland in a midseason trade. Clarkson scored 15.6 points per game for the Jazz in a bench role, shooting a solid 36.6% from three. Let’s grade the deal.
Grade: B
This is about the going rate for a bench scorer of Clarkson’s ilk. His ability to heat up will give him value for his entire career. While Utah struggled on defense with Clarkson during the postseason, he will soak up valuable minutes throughout the year.
