Jordan Clarkson adds much-needed flavor, scoring to Knicks bench

Jordan Clarkson’s reputation precedes itself. He lets it fly.

“I know it’s the first day of training camp, but definitely I feel like down the line, all the guys know,” Clarkson, fresh off his first practice Wednesday with the Knicks, said as he cracked a smile, “throw it to me and it’s getting in the air.

“Majority of the time, I feel like I’m open.”

For most of his 11 NBA years, Clarkson brought this no-conscience shooting mindset off the bench. He once averaged about 16 field goal attempts and 18.4 points in 26.7 minutes as a reserve. That season, Clarkson won Sixth Man of the Year.
