SALT LAKE CITY — Despite the four-month hiatus the NBA went through, Jordan Clarkson, the Utah Jazz’s newest addition to the team, is feeling more bonded and comfortable with the team than he was when the season was suspended in March.
Clarkson, who was traded from the Cleveland Cavaliers to Utah in an exchange that closed Dante Exum’s era with the Jazz, was an immediate boon for the Jazz’s lacking second unit. Scoring a combined 48 points off the bench over his first three games was an easy way for him to endear himself to his new teammates, but his easy-going good-vibes attitude quickly made him a team and fan favorite.
