Jordan Clarkson, who was acquired by the Cleveland Cavaliers from the Los Angeles Lakers at last year’s NBA trade deadline, is the team’s leading scorer despite coming off the bench.
Overall, Clarkson’s 2018-2019 campaign has been very impressive, especially considering the lack of talent around him. He is averaging a career-high with 16.8 points with a career-best effective field goal percentage of 51.0 percent while averaging 26.6 minutes a night off the pine, per NBA.com. The fifth-year guard has also emerged as the closer for the Cavs, on the rare occasion they’re in a position to close out a win.
