I’ve never seen a more undisciplined player in a jazz uniform than JR Westbrick Melo Clarkson. When he isn’t dribbling out the clock he’s chucking bad shots. When he isn’t stopping the offense he’s playing horrible defense. When he isn’t getting pushed around on defense he’s turning the ball over.
And what coach would let him play like this? Seriously, is there another coach in the league that would give him such an endlessly long leash? It’s not like he’s our only guard.
Bench his ***, restore accountability, and play Hughes. Right now Hughes giving us 6-12 pts in Clarkson’s mins would be better than the turnovers, bad shots, etc that Clarkson is giving us.
On top of everything, it would restore some accountability. Snyder will never have control of this team while he lets Clarkson actively kill our team. Why would anyone else buy into our team concept when Clarkson plays like an out of control jr Jazz kid?
