...his style of play has always been the same and he's gotten a lot better. That's what typically happens with great players. The Clingan Jokic comparison is terrible when Jokic was the same age as Clingan is now and it's a terrible comparison every year since. They don't play anything like...

Damn he must not be able to pass like that since he averaged only 2 assists his first year.

Then he hasn't always played like this. In fact, he's gotten better pretty much every year. Funny thing is I can't find a single post here mentioning Jokic in his first couple years (search feature here does suck though). It's a bad comparison because the only thing they really have in common...

Alperen Sengun is little Jokic lite. I don't like comparing guys to the best but he's the only guy who is in the ballpark with his crazy moves and vision.

Before seeing real time how much better Clingan got this offseason, tbh I'd say his best comp is Walker Kessler but trade some defense for some offense, and with higher upside because of it Clingan could/should be better next year than Kessler was at Auburn (which is a high bar), but Kessler...

So it's possible he can do all those things then?

Clingan can pass, but we are aware he averaged less than 2 assists per 40 last year right?

You’re treating the comp too literal. Comps are suppose to be best case projections that no one actually reaches.

To the Clingan is a young version of Jokic crowd will Clingan be jogging the ball up the court, pushing the ball up the court on fastbreaks, pirouetting constantly in the lane for 8 foot teardrops, throwing no look lobs, be the main initiator on offense the entire game, shooting one legged...

I started the “Clingan upside” thread about a month ago, essentially comparing his game to a poor mans jokic or Walton. Most posters brought same scorn and dismissive comments. It is a bit much,to compare him to best 2 passing bigs in history . Agreed. but his offensive upside has not been...

Think we’ll see it more this year as the center of the offense. More than anything he’s not close to the scorer Jokic is at this point. If he can showcase an overall jumper, I think that comp looks a lot more realistic than it would watching mostly a lob catching freshman.

Clingan doesn't play anything like Jokic.

I think the upside for Clingan is huge. What he will be at the end of this year could be unimaginable. Whether or not he will be Jokic, I think there is a chance that he is the biggest story in all college basketball by March.

He’s got the size He’s got the touch He’s got the mentality I’m not saying direct match but Version of him

Ok, put your money were your cutting edge lies and take us from Mesozoic to Cenozoic era. How many in game three's do you think DC will shoot next year? Why on earth does anyone think this more important than his free throw %? Let's use the Over/under of 52 set by Adama & I'm taking the...

I mean, Bill Walton. I love Clingan, might be best big man in college this year (better than edey). but Walton was perhaps the most skilled center in nba history until some guy named Jokic. Walton was an absolutes wizard. I know it was pre bird and magic, but he was absolutely dominant as a...

I think thats fair. Just think of dearth of good passing big men. Sabonis,vlade, gasol’s. All foreigners. Im just saying he will be that TYPE of big. & with roster of high bball iq around him this yr. Yes he needs a hook & stop fouling bla bla, but hes so much more than Edy, even offensively...

Jokic is one of the best passers in the history of the NBA. When he was out of shape as a kid in Serbia all those ball skills and passing were evident, scouts just missed it or didn't quite see how it would translate. Clingan has some very good passing skills for a young big. Jokic passes the...

I don't think anyone is saying his passing skills are as good as Jokic. But it's better than most guys who play the center position and is something that can be looked at as an advantage.

Clingan has some passing skills, which is good for a big/7' footer. Comparing his passing skills to Jokic because he has any is like saying Andre Jackson is Magic Johnson.

Maybe it’s fair to compare these 2 on freshman years rather than ones junior versus freshman? I mean Sanogo shot 54% from the court and 57% from the FT line as a freshman. Clingan 65% from the court and 51% from the line so let’s remember it took time for Sanogo to have a touch and score...

100% accurate. My concern is we won't have enough shooting where he feels comfortable shooting 3s like sanogo and jackson. He is a poor man's edey and that's not insulting. Jokic is light years ahead of him. The European kid number one pick is crazy better. Touch around the rim is awful...

After watching him in high school, i was at times reminded of 86 bill walton. I actually began calling him “bad bill walton”, to my brother, a by member. I only meant his bball iq and ability to pass out of post. Not comparing him qualitatively. He wasnt the rim runner he is now. His one season...

He wasn't ahead of Karaban. Karaban was injured.

Hurley was very happy with him publically after early season secret scrimmage. Wouldve been starting at 4, presumably ahead of Karaban. Pre-injury. Then he got Wally Pipped. Looked super lost when gave him minutes late With his athleticism, if he can show confidence and ability to hit 3 at...

And Clingan as Jokic

Anthony Davis is the best defensive front court in the league by himself. He does what Clingan did to everyone we played this year

If Hurley gives him the green light, that’s an easy over imo. From videos of warmups (don’t know where they are off the top of my head) it’s not a slow windup stroke like Jokic or Adama. It’s a legit quick, high release shooting stroke from someone that’s 7’2.

I hear that. It’s kind of the same questions he had coming into college. Even when he gets there he’ll need some seasoning most likely. At his BEST I think he has the tools to be a Jokic who can play much better defense. At worst, probably a Zubac. May be very optimistic of me with the Jokic...

Wembanyana, who probably has more hype than any prospect since Lebron... it not exactly a fair comparison. He doesn't even play the same position as Clingan. He's a 7'4 SF.

Kessler is an absolutely atrocious comparison. And people thought my "poor mans Jokic" was bad.

Preach. If Clingan is ever taking six shots from deep per game, we have a problem with shot selection. But having the threat of the shot a couplefew times per game opens up the paint. The best centers in the NBA are still not taking A LOT of 3s by NBA standards. Jokic 2.5 (32%) Embiid 3.3...

Not sure PJ was suggesting that but yes I totally agree. Horford is a good passer but his lower TO numbers are a function of him not being asked to do nearly as much as Jokic does.

I should of said it's silly if you infer from it who is the better passer. Jokic is light-years ahead of Horford as a passer and Clingan is a much better passer than Sanogo.
