3.6 million in one year! Average of 16 points in his career, will the best sixth man become one of the Knicks important firepower points?

In recent times, the New York Knicks have signed several players including Shamet and Brogden. Of course, considering that the NBA free agent market has opened for nearly three months, these potentially are almost all "scrap materials".

In addition, it is worth mentioning that Jordan Clarkson joined the Knicks for 3.6 million yuan in one year after reaching a buyout with the Jazz. For him, I think it will be one of the important firepower points (offensive points) of the Knicks in the new season.

, that is, combat power

Since being selected by the Lakers to enter the league with a 46th pick in the second round in 2014, Clarkson has played 753 games, of which 20.8 points per game in the Jazz 22-23 season was the highest in a career season, and 11.9 points per game in the 14-15 rookie season was the lowest in a career season.

Overall, he averaged 16 points per game in his career. You should know that teammate "Big Joe" Bridges has only averaged 14.8 points per game in his career. Having the strength to be good is one of the most powerful.

Positioning

In the 753 games that he played, Clarkson started in only 231 games, in other words, his career positioning is a substitute. It is worth mentioning that in the 20-21 season, with an average of 18.4 points per game, the final beat Ingles and Derek Ross to win the Sixth Man of the Year. Clear positioning is the second.

Competitiveness

Just said that Clarkson's positioning is a substitute. The basics that can compete with him on the Knicks' bench in the new season are McBride and Shamet. But to be honest, there is still a gap between the two of them, "Six". Take Shamet as an example, he averaged 8.3 points per game so far in his career.

's strong competitiveness brings that Clarkson has the unlimited fire power on the bench like Brunson. Strong competitiveness, this is the third one.

In summary, Clarkson's ability to become one of the important firepower points of the Knicks is mainly due to the following three points:

1, that is, the combat power is good;

2, clear positioning;

3, strong competitiveness.

Relatively speaking, I think the first point is the main reason and the second point is the secondary reason.

Although the past cannot represent the future, it can at least show that there is little chance of Clarkson performing poorly in the new season. After all, whether from the Lakers to the Cavaliers or from the Cavaliers to the Jazz, Clarkson performed well on the offensive end in the first season.

Secondly, being the sixth player in the team means that Clarkson's chances are guaranteed, and his outstanding instant combat ability can greatly convert opportunities into data.

In this regard, Clarkson will still be the team's "super sixth man" as before.
