Jazz may want to trade Clarkson because he can't defend, but they may also want to trade Royce because he can't score. He had wide open 3pt shot and missed the rim with it.
He's a bench player.

That was actually good defense. I know people love popular narratives but

I remember that was my biggest concern last year, even when they were winning all those games. The team is **** in clutch games. If my memory is correct, they didn't win a close game until the second half of the season last year (mostly because they were winning by a lot, but still). The team just combusts in the clutch. Too many of our guys are afraid of the moment. It happens in the playoffs every year. It's an issue that's hard to plan for, but if you can't make plays down the stretch, you can't win. You're not going to blow teams out in the playoffs.
He also got two offensive rebounds that resulted in a key three-pointer.

Yep. Royce is an overrated defender but that was a solid defensive possession. Can't do much better than what he did on KPJ.
Threes are a premium down that far with that little time left, especially open ones.
It was a 2 possession game with 20 seconds left and the play died because Bogey decided to dive.
