2. Jordan Clarkson

As a personal fan of the Cleveland Cavaliers, I can tell you first hand how aggravating Jordan Clarkson can be at times. He is a walking bucket with the ability to torch opposing second units. But, at times, his tendency to force up shots makes Dion Waiters look unselfish.

Nonetheless, Clarkson might be the best bench scorer in the association. He averaged a career-high 16.8 points last season and is above 15 per game again this season for the Utah Jazz. He can fill it up from all areas of the floor and is a real threat when he is hot.

Of course, Clarkson has his deficiencies. He is going to keep shooting, regardless of if shots are falling or not. Furthermore, he is a shakey defender and not the greatest playmaker. These are all potential issues for whatever team he ends up on next season.

However, the Warriors likely have the best chance at keeping Clarkson contained. Their championship culture could be enough to convince Clarkson to buy into their system. With firepower like this on the bench, the Dubs would be a difficult team to beat in the playoffs.
