Clark averaged 1.9 points per game in 23 contests with the Jazz. Clark was an undrafted free agent that impressed teams during Summer League in 2013.

“I wanted to come into Summer League, and it was my shot to show what I could do. It’s good to be here. Hard work pays off. You never want to settle.”

“I’m going to continue to work,” Clark said. “The knock on me was playing the point guard position. It’s something I’ve worked on over the summer a lot. I’m not going to be a pure point, but being able to handle the ball and make reads and come off ball screens and make plays is something I’m working on.
