Why doesn't Ian Clark play more?

Cant be any worse than JL3

I actually we could get a good player in Clark, tonight he scored 10 pts in 4 minutes. Even though he started off bad, I think he just needs to get in a rhythm and some experience.
 
Ian's shot comes from right in front of his face, and if there is anyone within five feet of him, they will block it right up his nose. Problem is that if they alter his shot than he will have to adjust, and in the process lose his shot for a time, which is his only elite skill, so he will be a fourteenth player on the bench until he changes that, which probably won't be until next summer if at all.

He made some tonight with out a problem, one of them was even a step back 3. He also isn't to shabby of a defender and has some quick moves.
 
He is a quick player. His shot is low and slow. Not a good combo.

That doesn't matter. Ideally (by that, I mean in an actual, functional offense) he would be the 8th or 9th guy, stand in the corner, shoot the open kick out shot or be the recipient of a swing around the key. It doesn't matter what his shot looks like if it goes in, because he's not a guy we are going to ask to create for him self anyway. Hard to get your shoot blocked when you're wide open. Now, that won't ever happen with our current offense, but I'm hopeful for his future.

I'm not saying kick him off the team, i'm just saying that he's not going to get serious time until he polishes his game some (aka, get that shot up over his head). He might be able to do it, but he might not. I'm open to him improving. Teams have to have at least 13 players on their roster (or is it 14?), and he fits in great as one of those last players. He has an elite skill, even if it is flawed. It's up to him whether or not he can become more than that. He doesn't have a Brewer arm (broken as a kid) so he can make any adjustments he puts his mind to.

15 spots.

I wouldn't touch his shot, it might ruin the great skill that he has. I guess I'm just saying to is that he should be seeing the floor more, because without a doubt he is better then lucas right now.
 
It takes you one double digit scoring game to have your own appreciation thread on Jazzfanz, even if you are really a promising player.
 
In my book has the size and ability to guard pg's. So once Burke is back play him with Burks off the bench.

10 points 2 boards in 4 minutes on 4-5 shooting. Someone has to score for the Jazz. The rest of the team sure didn't seem to be up to the task.
