Jordan Clarkson is heading to the New York Knicks after buying out with Utah. He picked NY for the Madison Square Garden energy and the fans, a move relayed by Rich Paul after a two-minute call with the Knicks that made him a Knick in moments. The change directly targets a critical Knicks weakness: bench scoring, which lagged at 21.7 PPG last season as starters carried the load.

Expect Clarkson to bring scoring punch off the pine and potentially alter crunch-time lineups. His fit alongside Brunson and Hart could unlock more balanced guard rotations, lifting Knicks’ bench output and giving fantasy managers a high-upside veteran scorer with fresh opportunity in a new system.
