Every contending NBA team needs a sixth man; a player who can lead their reserve unit towards a respectable offense, allowing the starters some much-needed rest over the course of the game. The Utah Jazz just happen to have the reigning Sixth Man of the Year.
Jordan Clarkson is, in the parlance of NBA Twitter, a “pure hooper”. This man’s bag of dribble moves, head-fakes and off-balance jumpers is seemingly limitless. He plumbed the depths of his scoring abilities last season to the tune of an impressive 24.8 points per 36 minutes. As previously mentioned, he took home some hardware for his efforts as he was awarded the 2020-21 Sixth Man of the Year award.
