Clarkson had a more productive outing, albeit in a losing effort, as he came away with 23 points on 8-for-20 shooting from the floor and added seven rebounds, six assists, and a steal. Between the two Jazz stars, only Fontecchio is headed to the next round, with Italy finishing second in Group A with a 2-1 record. Clarkson and the Philippines, on the other hand, went winless in three games.</p><p>Clarkson averaged 20.8 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 4.4 assists for the Jazz in the 2022-23 NBA season. Fontecchio was not as productive but he’s got talent nonetheless. He generated 6.3 per contest for Utah in the last campaign.</p><p>But Clarkson and Fontecchio are not the only Jazz players seeing action in the Pacific. Walker Kessler is also in Manila with Team USA, while Lauri Markkanen and Kelly Olynyk are helping Finland and Canada respectively. Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who is now with the Minnesota Timberwolves and playing for Canada, played with Clarkson and Fontecchio in the 2022-23 campaign in Salt Lake City.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
