I disagree... early AB maybe, but post injury he played like a guy trying to fit into a system that didn't fit his game. I think the opinion of JC is overly high right now because he's the new toy... before we declare this guy to have an amazing IQ and a killer let's give it 15-20 games.

IDK who is saying he has an amazing IQ.

The difference between him and Burks is that he's willing to be a threat on the court anywhere he gets the ball. Burks was willing to be a threat if he got the ball where he felt comfortable and that was often a detriment to the team (denying screens). It's why Quinn likes him. It's why Quin didn't like Dante.
 
Quin has a type and it's players who play with confidence and at a high mental pace (not necessarily high IQ or some genius decision maker).

Did you know that some players have less than perfect form on their shots yet still have value? In fact, watch Clarkson shoot tonight and if you pay attention you find that it ain't all that beautiful. Really low release.

Hmm, you’d think that Zubac would have blocked him instead of sending him to the line for the 4 point play if that were the case.

There were some that made comments that made it sound like JC is a high IQ dude... may not have been in here. I'm not saying he's dumb but he's not known as a basketball Einstein. Your assessment that he makes quick decisions seems accurate... Even if most of his quick decisions are to shoot it isn't a bad thing.

He shoots when he's open and he drives when he isnt. That's what the Jazz want players to do.

I wonder how Ostertag is going to feel seeing 00 hanging in the rafters with Clarkson’s name on it.

He will be okay since he likely gets a statue.

I want to agree with this, but it’s incomplete. It should read something like:

He shoots when he’s open and drives when he isn’t. If he drives, then he makes the right read about whether to pull up for a shot, get to the rim, pull up for a floater, OR MAKE THE RIGHT PASS.

JC shoots a lot. It’s fair to think he isn’t getting the end of that statement right.

I mean sure, but no one is expecting him too at this point. I simplified it, but I think that's how the Jazz are handling it with Clarkson currently.
