Jordan Clarkson was probably the biggest factor in the Jazz being a mediocre team this year, but I believe he can be better next year and be a positive winning player
Here are Clarkson's Home vs Road splits:
Those home splits are still elite 6th man numbers. I'm not sure why Clarkson was so bad on the road this year. I looked back at previous seasons and he's never had that much difference between home vs road in a season. The next closest was the 21/22 season, but for the most part his home vs road splits are within arms reach of each other.
I think going forward with Clarkson you really need to limit his minutes a bit more as a proper 6th man. Hopefully less overall load will lead to more consistent play. Locke said Hardy told Clarkson to focus on playmaking this off-season. If we can get the 5.6 APG on 2.2 TPG type play that he had at home this year off the bench, that would be fantastic.
