Trading Jordan Clarkson to Toronto makes sense for the Cavs

Cleveland Cavaliers backup guard Jordan Clarkson, the sixth-year pro out of the University of Missouri, has made a name for himself in the NBA for his trigger-ready shot. Since coming over from the Los Angeles Lakers last season at the NBA Trade Deadline, Clarkson has been hitting shots at a 45% clip from the floor. Diving a little deeper, the 26-year-old has been in double-figure scoring every season of his career thus far.

This type of production comes despite the fact that Clarkson has shot pedestrian-like from the perimeter, just 33% for his career. There’s time for him to improve in that area, making him an interesting option for contenders to look into this February.
