Message: [QUOTE="MexicoHusky, post: 4444508, member: 6438"] The only reason Clingan plays 2 years in college is if he wants to play 2 years in college. He's an excellent basketball player with tons of physical ability. There's no financial or developmental reason he needs to return after this year. I think he'd have close-to-immediate impact on the defensive end and I'd probably compare him to Rudy Gobert on the defensive end. I'd like to see Clingan matchup against someone like Anthony Davis or Nikola Jokic. Would Davis be too quick for Clingan? Would Jokic out muscle Clingan? I can't definitively say either things would happen. Clingan may be able to slow down either of those guys... maybe. He's huge and pretty darn athletic. As far as offense is concerned, Walton said it appropriately, "he's a basketball player that happens to be 7'2"". I think Clingan could develop a very effective outside shot. His shooting stroke is very solid. Keep in mind, the bigs that shoot threes in the NBA (Embid, Jokic, Davis, etc...)... I dont think any of them were very good three point shooters when they entered the league. I'm not worried about his shooting. I think it will come and I think the NBA would happily be patient with it. [/QUOTE]
