Though renowned and sometimes lamented for his remorseless chucking, Utah Jazz guard Jordan Clarkson has been impacting games of late with his playmaking, passing, rebounding, and yes, even his defending.
seized upon that sentiment as well, adding that Clarkson has been something of an example for his teammates in that regard.
Clarkson has noted that during games, he enjoys chatting up opposing coaches when the time allows, just to say hello or share a laugh. Increasingly, he said, the message coming back to him is that they are all too aware of his Sixth Man of the Year award-winning exploits, and are determined not to let him beat them that way.“A lot of ‘em always just come up to me and be like, ‘JC, we’re not gonna let you get off tonight. We’re not gonna let you score,’” Clarkson recalled.
“Sometimes I’m not always there defensively, mentally,” Clarkson said. “But just coming in when I know it’s time and we need it and I really got to lock in on that and make plays — I feel like I’m giving more effort on that end. So for me, it’s just all a mindset, knowing that if I start it on the defensive end, the offense is just gonna come. That’s what I’ve just been trying to hold my hat on this year — bringing energy on that end.
