Ian Clark is another new addition to the Warriors’ roster. After going undrafted in the 2013 NBA draft, Clark played for the Warriors during the 2013 NBA Summer League in Las Vegas where he won Most Valuable Player in the championship game. The performance was not enough to earn him a spot on the Warriors roster, but it did lead to a 2-year deal with the Utah Jazz.
While under contract with the Jazz, Clark spent most of his time in the D-League, but was called up several times during the regular season. In 53 career games played, Clark averaged 2.4 points on 36.9 percent shooting from the field.
The Warriors signed Clark during the offseason, hoping that he could fill a bench shooting role that the Warriors would like to have. While numbers may not show it, Clark has shown some signs of having a nice stroke from beyond the arc, and he’ll look to find that stroke before the regular season begins.
