The Utah Jazz have shown to be a better team than expected after they moved on from their two NBA All-Star talents, Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert.

So far, the Jazz are 2-0, with newcomers Lauri Markkanen, Kelly Olynyk, Collin Sexton, and Walker Kessler looking like intriguing additions going forward.

While it’s intriguing that Utah has managed to look more competitive than many initially thought they would, it still makes the most sense to capitalize on the trade value of some of their older veteran players. Jordan Clarkson is among those names.

Clarkson could provide a spark as a bench scorer for a different contender as he did for the Jazz before they decided to undergo a rebuilding process.
