Jordan Clarkson spent his first three-and-a-half seasons with the Los Angeles Lakers. After trying to become a starter, Clarkson transitioned to a bench role, where he began to see success. In his last season-and-a-half with the Purple & Gold, Clarkson averaged 14.6 points per game and shot 44.6 percent from the floor. Then in the blink of an eye, Clarkson went from a lottery team to a championship-contending team at last year’s trade deadline, as he was traded to the Cleveland Cavaliers. For many young players, this can be a shot in the arm, as it gives them a chance to prove themselves.
