Clingan Putting Up Numbers

[Dove]

He looks great out there!!

Kid is a stellar prospect. Dominating defensive ability out there.

I love seeing both players fighting for the ball then patting each other on the back when the whistle was blown.

Clingan reminds me of one of my favorite tennis players - "Gentleman" Tim Mayotte. A class act.

Easy for Donovan to be nice there since the NBA has an actual jump ball and the guy he was fighting for the ball with is a guard. I think we know who won the jump.

Last Night 6/10 Shooting 17 points, 12 rebounds, 8 blocks in 31 minutes
DC will be the steal of the draft.

Him and Castle are going to be the top rookies this year imo. We had an embarrassment of riches lol

 

[JesusAllen11]

Clingan shoulda went 1. His injuries to start the year cost him millions imo.

remember how slow and clunky he looked beginning of last year ?

I was legit thinking he was certainly coming back after those Indiana and Texas games. But injuries are bitch. He is a star

I think he should have went 1 anyway. Portland would have taken him 1.

Like Those injuries cost him all american spots , dpoy awards , we were prob number one all year after beating Kansas with a healthy DC. His profile would of been so much higher.
Either way he is good , portland is a good team and city for him. Bet he spends most of his career there.

I really wonder if the Spurs would have taken Clingan at 8 (and kept the pick) if he had fallen to them. Having Cling Kong and Wemby on the floor at the same time.....sounds terrifying.

That's so interesting you would say that because Clingan is usually compared to Todd Martin.

If I had any idea who Todd Martin was there would be a chance I'd like your post.

And 5-5 free throws

'Gentleman" Todd Martin...

 

[DRBackup]

LOL!!! One of those blocks was very reminiscent of the one against Illinois with the guy coming in, thinking he was going to get a dunk and Cling Kong met him at the apex and denied that trash.

 

[61cygni]

Love to see him repping UConn in the postgame interview!

 

[UCan3]

I agree 100%. How they rate potential v what is staring them in the face is beyond me.

I am sure teams that chose players before him - well, there’s so tough conversations going on right now between owners and coaches - that’s for sure

 

[HailUConn]

He gobbles up so much interior space and allows his teammates to be aggressive on the perimeter defense on Edwards.

Donovan's block % right now is insane. 13.3%

For reference, here are the career block percentages of some of the all time greats:
Mutumbo 6.3%
Ratliff 7.2%
Bol 10.2%
Eaton 6.9%

'Gentleman" Todd Martin... View attachment 104770

Martin was a top ten player and an even better person. But Mayotte was Mayotte ten years before Martin.
