Josh Hart & Jalen Brunson Pumped Over Knicks Addition of Jordan Clarkson

During a recent broadcast of their podcast, The Roommates Show, Knicks teammates Jalen Brunson and Josh Hart discussed how excited they are about the team's addition of Jordan Clarkson. 

The Knicks are coming off a great season that saw them win more than 50 games and reach the Eastern Conference Finals. But the team went into the offseason with no first round draft pick and barely any cap space to use on free agents. 

New York pounced after the 32-year-old Clarkson was bought out by the rebuilding Utah Jazz, signing him to a minimum salary deal. The former 6th Man of the Year will provide plenty of bench scoring, an issue for the Knicks last year. 

Hart, who was teammates with Clarkson for the Los Angeles Lakers, said of the fit:

"I was excited. I mean, great dude, gonna fit right into the culture that we have, obviously, something that can create his own shot. [he] can break down the defense, and we needed at times, you know, last year. So it would be a great addition in terms of role. And also as a locker room guy."

Brunson noted that he didn't know Clarkson quite as well as Hart did, but also had nothing but praise for the new addition:

"I know him. I’m not as close with him as Josh, obviously, but I know him. I talked to him a little bit. Good dude. He surrounds himself with some good people whom I know. A great addition for us, sure."
