2024 Fantasy Outlook
Clarkson has developed into one of the best bench players in the NBA over recent years, making himself a Sixth Man of the Year candidate every year. The veteran averaged 17.1 points, 3.4 rebounds, 5.0 assists, 0.6 assists and 1.7 threes per game last season. Most of those statistics dropped from previous years outside of the assists, and it's becoming clear that Utah wants him to be more of a playmaker than just a scorer. What also made the scoring drop off was his atrocious efficiency, shooting 41 percent from the field and 29 percent from three-point range. We have to assume his shooting numbers will creep back to career norms this year, and Clarkson could be asked to do even more. Utah didn't add much to this backcourt, and Clarkson will be one of the primary playmakers. Keyonte George and Collin Sexton are the only ones ahead of Clarkson, and we expect JC to get back to the 20-point scorer he was in years prior. If he could add that to the five assists a night, Clarkson could be one of the frontrunners for Sixth Man of the Year again. Considering this team is rebuilding, Clarkson could be one of the first players traded if Utah falls out of playoff contention. It's unlikely Clarkson sees an increased role anywhere else, but he's worth streaming as long as he has a key role in Utah. Read Past Outlooks

Intends to sign with New York
Clarkson intends to sign with the Knicks once he clears waivers, NBA reporter Chris Haynes reports.
ANALYSIS
The Jazz decided to waive Clarkson, but the veteran guard didn't have problems finding a new home for the 2025-26 season. He should add some much-needed depth in the backcourt for the Knicks, and Clarkson should see consistent minutes off the bench, either as a point guard or as a shooting guard. Clarkson, who averaged 16.2 points, 3.7 assists, 3.2 rebounds, 0.8 steals and 2.3 three-pointers in 26.0 minutes per contest in 37 regular-season games in 2024-25, is also dealing with a foot injury but is expected to be healthy come training camp in the fall.

Clarkson moved into the starting lineup last season, averaging a career-high 20.8 points per game. He also flashed a small amount of assists upside, contributing a career-best 4.4 assists across 61 games. He ended as the 186th-ranked player in nine-category leagues, although he is a perfect example of why rankings should not be considered the be-all and end-all when it comes to fantasy value. Despite finishing well outside the top 150, Clarkson was certainly a player worthy of a roster spot in just about every format. With that said, for anyone punting points, he held little to no value at all. The Jazz are likely to be pushing to get back into the playoffs this season, meaning Clarkson should once again be in line for upwards of 30 minutes per night. He should remain a solid source of points and triples, with a sprinkling of assists thrown into the mix. His inability to contribute across multiple categories limits his overall appeal, often a factor that results in sneaky value for anyone in need of a scoring punch late in drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Looking to join contender
Clarkson, who finalized a contract buyout with Utah on Monday, is looking to join a contender, ESPN's Shams Charania reports.
ANALYSIS
Clarkson said way back in April that he wanted to play in "meaningful games," and it was clear that the rebuilding Jazz weren't able to offer him that chance. Charania reports that "multiple playoff teams" are expected to show interest, and it's easy to see why -- he holds career regular-season averages of 16.0 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.9 assists on 43.6 percent shooting.
