His digs and help caused all sorts of problems for Utah. Truly stuff that ‘doesn’t show up in a box score’ (unless you count +/-).
He had some nice spurts (that sequence with his block and three) but I'm not seeing it. It's why I really don't like +/- as a stat for fringe players. Clarkson blew a layup in the second quarter where Josh was his primary defender and he absolutely left Josh in the dust. I also recall the silly over the back foul in the 4th quarter and not being able to use his athleticism on that lob. Maybe I'm over critical on the guy but I really didn't see a ton of impact for the majority of the night.
I still wouldn't mind giving him THJ's minutes.
