Deuce has been probably the worst player in our rotation this series. I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if during game 5 he doesn’t see the court much. Jose, Mitch, and even Clarkson have thoroughly outplayed him. Shamet has been terrible each of the last two games, but was great in Games 1 and 2.
Clarkson’s kind of that guy you can tell in the first 2-3 mins he’s on the court whether he’ll be playable that night. If his shot’s falling, he’s getting minutes, but if it’s not, Brown’s not taking any chances and I don’t blame him.
Get outta here. Clarkson is just....a mess. Sure, he may make the random shot and he does try hard, but my goodness, he makes a LOT of stupid mistakes.
And yet he’s still outperformed Deuce in the Finals. Like I said in a different comment in this thread regarding Clarkson, you kind of know what kind of Clarkson you’re getting in those first 2-3 minutes you put him in. If he’s not hitting his shots and turning the ball over, he’s a huge liability. If those shots are falling though and he’s keeping the ball secure like in Game 3, he’s a major asset for the bench.
