The sixth man once was! Analysis of how Clarkson supports the Knicks substitute attack

In the off-season and free market, Clarkson signed a 1-year, 360w bargain contract with the Knicks in the free market. Last season, he averaged 16.2 points, 3.2 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 0.8 breaks, shooting percentage of 40.9%, three-point shooting percentage of 36.4%, and free throw shooting percentage of 79.7%.

So how powerful is Clarkson? There is no doubt that it is his attack.

The middle distance after the cover is one of his specialties.

The sudden three-pointer

But if you think he can only fight alone and get the ball offensively, then you are a big mistake! He has some ability to handle the ball and can seize the opportunity to pass some pretty balls on the court.

Many people will say that Clarkson is already 32 years old and is no longer the player with strong offensive ability. He was not very stable last season and his three-point shooting rate was not high. But for the Knicks, Brunson averaged 28.7 points per game with Randall last season, but the bench scored only 32.1 points, ranking 22nd in the league. When Brunson got out, they had no offensive starting point and main scoring points in the backcourt, and Clarkson's arrival helped them make up for this link, allowing Brunson to get some rest time.

In addition, the East is not particularly competitive in the new season. The Knicks have great hope of making a breakthrough in the East by working hard and then increasing the substitute firepower points.

So do you think Clarkson will adapt to the Knicks next season?
