Ian Clark dropped an impressive 33 points during the first ever Las Vegas Summer League championship game. While Kent Bazemore seemed to be the star of the Golden State Warriors' summer squad, it was Ian Clark who stole the show in the final game as he went on to win the LVSL championship game MVP.
Stepping up in the championship game, along with two impressive summer league stints in both Orlando and Las Vegas, was enough for the Utah Jazz and Ian Clark, according to Jeff Zillgitt of USA Today. Zillgitt is reporting that Clark and the Jazz have agreed to a two-year deal with the second year being a team option for the Jazz.

Ian Clark played for four years at Belmont University before going undrafted in the 2013 NBA Draft. After winning the LVSL championship game MVP, Clark admitted that he didn't expect to get drafted and wasn't really hearing substantial talk or rumors that he would get picked in the second round. He turned around and played for the Miami Heat's summer league team in Orlando before joining the Golden State Warriors' team in Las Vegas.
In four years at Belmont, Clark was a phenomenally efficient scorer. He shot 42.4 percent from the college 3-pointer in his four years there and had a ridiculous true shooting percentage of 68.8 percent during his senior season. The Jazz already have No. 9 pick in the 2013 NBA Draft Trey Burke at the point guard with John Lucas III and Jerel McNeal also under contract. Only Burke and Lucas III have guaranteed deals this season, so it's conceivable that Clark could stick around.
They could also use Clark as a small shooting guard off the bench if they want to keep their options open with him.
