Jaylen Clark has provided the Minnesota Timberwolves with some quality minutes on the defensive end of the floor this season. Clark has stood out among the young trio of him, Terrence Shannon Jr., and Rob Dillingham. Despite his immense defensive value (which I don't want to understate), Clark's lack of offense is problematic.
The UCLA product is averaging just 4.1 points and 0.6 assists while shooting 29.8 percent from beyond the arc. Over the past eight games, Clark has averaged 12.9 minutes and 2.3 points per game. His lack of 3-point shooting, self-creation, and playmaking are all subpar.
