Clarkson managed just 37 appearances during the 2024-25 season, both as a result of injury and the fact that the Jazz had nothing to play for. His playing time also fell to just 26.0 minutes per game, during which he averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 assists and 2.3 three-pointers. Unsurprisingly, the Jazz opted to part ways with the veteran, allowing him to sign with the Knicks on a one-year deal. While this is a positive aspect in terms of potential game contributions, Clarkson is likely to serve as a bench scorer and nothing more. His ability to create for himself will provide New York with some much-needed offensive depth, but his lack of defensive prowess will almost certainly restrict his time on the floor. Look for Clarkson to play a meaningful, yet subdued role, potentially topping out at around 27.0 minutes per contest.
