Clarkson for Sixth Man Award

Chris Boucher is the best bench player this season so far....i'll see myself out.
He's gonna be a starter now anyway... so you can come back in.
 
So an update here. Apparently Clarkson leads the league in bench points. Other contenders were Levert (traded to Indiana and probably starting), Dinwiddie (injured), Lou Williams (minutes dropped from like 28 to 18 this year), and then Harrell (because LA).

If any of the above trends remotely continue, and if we finish anywhere in the west close to where we are now, Clarkson should have a strong argument despite big market bias. It would be hard to ignore the points which, to be honest, is most of what we know they’re looking at.
Just listened to a ringer podcast this AM that mentioned how they didn't believe the Jazz were definitely better than the Warriors and that the Warriors bench unit was far better being led by Eric Paschall.... I just wanted to yell at them through the internet. We have three bench players better than him but they beat the Lakers the other night when Lebron got caught playing with his food... so I guess that is what they put into the webz.
 
JC is #22 in scoring per 36 in the league. Right behind Trae Young and DM.

JC is top 40 in TS% in the league... he's getting a ton of buckets and doing so with fantastic efficiency. Also grabbing rebounds and playing passable defense.

Just let the league keep sleeping on this guy... they don't deserve him.
 
JC is obviously outstanding in his role...but part of me wonders if we're holding him back. He's already usurped Ingles in the rotation...but he should probably also take Bogey's role. JC is simply a better player than Bogey right now.
 
So a day or two after the trade and reflecting on it, I posted my thoughts here where I was largely supportive and suggested JC as a Lou Williams / Jamaal Crawford / Jason Terry.


It’s still funny, though, in hindsight that I said one downside was not being able to use Exum’s salary to land an Aminu.

Sure, the Jazz are rolling right now, but let's go fix what isn't broken. Clarkson has absolutely thrived in this role since Utah traded for him, and Bojan will be just fine, regardless of his recent struggles. No need to overreact just because he is in somewhat of a slump.

Clarkson is a better player than Bogey and Joe. JC possesses more offensive weapons and play making skills than Bogey, Bogey gets stripped every time he slashes. Joe is slowing down and getting old. But as to what the other post was stating it's not a question of who is better because we need everyone to win

Yep, Donovan and JC are both Alpha scorers- better to not have them overlap too much unless one of them is struggling with their shot or Don is getting so much attention he needs someone to take the defensive pressure off.
 
Right now he's easily the front runner for the award.
Should be but media tends to vote for teams that have more exposure than us. He will need to make sure he is the clear cut winner imo. It’s a weird award anyway but would be good for him to get it.
