After a stellar showing with the Philippines during recent FIBA play, G Jordan Clarkson is already back in the gym preparing for next season. The Utah Jazz guard averaged the second-highest scoring clip during the World Cup, second to only Dallas Mavericks G Luka Doncic. Now, it seems he’s only trying to build on top of that.

In a recent video posted to Instagram, Clarkson was seen putting up shots in the gym with highly acclaimed NBA trainer Chris Brickley.

Hundreds of NBA players and basketball fanatics have worked with Brickley to further enhance their game, with guys like Atlanta Hawks G Trae Young, Miami Heat F Jimmy Butler, and even former Jazz G Donovan Mitchell pairing up with him this summer.

Clarkson is coming off a career NBA season averaging a career-high 20.8 points a night, along with 4.0 rebounds and 4.4 assists. While his shooting splits were a tad below league average, this time to practice with Brickley is the perfect step to take to give those numbers a boost.

Entering what will be his age-31 season, Clarkson looks to make another huge impact for the Jazz in his fifth year with the franchise.
