He is a 6th man of the year candidate. He is 3rd in bench scoring and has gotten better since he got here.
Yeah he had a bad playoff run, but man that team was a mess. He also admits that he never played deep in the playoffs, and he hit a wall during them.
I don't think he is a great player or anything, but a team like that has a good starting unit, and a garbage bench with some dead money would gladly rent him for the year. If we didn't have so many young guards, I think I would want to try to keep him. He and Delly play well together.
I just don't see it: Clarkson is not great at his best thing (scoring) and I would argue that he's a classic regular season numbers guy. Teams don't practice for him at all and it would be insane to trust him to be your postseason 6th man IMO. Once team actually bother to put a gameplan on him, he'll get baited into doing what he wants to do naturally (hoist mid range jumpshots off the dribble)
