Yes, that has very little to do with the fact that stylistically people saw that he was a truly excellent passer and the best passing big in his draft as a 19 year old. The comment you replied to was saying that people saw the vision and playmaking as a prospect. They did. They didn't buy other...

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

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

I would simply like to see how much Clingan can actually pass when we ask him to do more of it in the offense before we completely throw the comp away. I don’t think it’ll be Jokic no look behind the back passes. But I think it will be 90+ percentile kind of passing from a center. And if he does...

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...

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

I posted their literal on the court impact numbers, yet they don't support your insane argument so you ignore them. Go back to arguing Clingan is the next Jokic. Clown

Ok everyone here comes my player comparison. He is a 21st century version of Larry Bird. Maybe not as big but definitely more athletic and he is only going to become a better shooter and he is already very good. I think he will be a great shooter as his career continues. Bird had that shot where...

No.

If it's an old Celtic, it'd be John Havlicek.

So he’s gonna be a top ten player of all time?

He is more a Bill Bradley, even has a similar posture.

Would love to see that come to fruition, but I’ve seen nothing that would cause me to compare him to Bird. Huge basketball I.Q.? Absolutely. But lots of guys have that. Bird was a stupendous one on one player who could get his own shot out of nothing. To date, Karaban gets his points out of...

You’ve been reading too many Scappy Posts . Larry Bird carried a lower mid major to a FF . . AK was the 3rd or 4th option on a very talented team . He will probably be 2-3 this year . But If he stays three and is the number one option on a young team that he carries on his back to a great...

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...

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.

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

And Clingan as Jokic

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...

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.

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.

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...
