What It Means:

Walton also said that he would like to limit the 25-year-old's dribbling in halfcourt sets. In essence, this would make Clarkson much more of a spot-up shooter, coming off screens and sitting on the perimeter. He would be asked to do a lot more of that in the first two games of the season with Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, the team's starting two-guard, suspended.

As Clarkson comes off the bench as one of the team's better scorers, we project him for 1,025 points and 107 three-pointers on 41.9% from the floor and 33.3% from downtown. As the 133rd pick in average drafts, Clarkson is a late-round option for points and three-pointers.
