Summary

Can Walter Clayton Jr. rescue the Utah Jazz’s struggling pick and roll offense? David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, breaks down last season’s dismal pick and roll metrics, spotlighting Clayton’s elite college efficiency and off-the-bounce shooting—ranking in the 77th percentile for pick and roll points per possession and 90th percentile for dribble jumpers among guards. Locke examines the chemistry between returning guards like Keyonte George and bigs such as Walker Kessler and Kyle Filipowski, analyzing their ranking near the bottom of NBA pick and roll combinations. He challenges the notion that the league is abandoning the pick and roll, noting it remains the NBA’s most common play, and ponders if Clayton’s scoring and decision-making can jumpstart Utah’s offense.
