Clingan Stats

H eshould take them from the arc.

 

[Ricker]

From a technique standpoint, I think he should just hold the ball in one hand like a softball, fully extend his arm, and gently drop it into the basket from directly above the rim.

His #s backup the eye test, he's GOOD. And as they say a "true freshman"...

He's got one area to work on, FT% (53.1% yikes), he's drawing ~3 fouls per game. If we pretend those are all 2 shot fouls 3pts isn't make-it or break-it by any means but I would still like to see him get that up. Might matter more if he becomes the primary 5 in the future and has more minutes.

He's got good form, does anyone know what he shot in HS? I would say it's freshman jitters but we're pretty far into the season and he's shown elsewhere he's not scared (CHOMP CHOMP FL).

Still looking for his BCHS FT%, but I came across this note: For the 2021-2022 season, he canned 360 field goals, 10 three-pointers, and cashed in on 101 free throws.

FWIW, at least twice per game his pure size gets refs confused on what a foul is. Just because he's wasn't effected by the foul doesnt mean he wasn't hit.

Zach Edey is lucky that Sanogo and Clingan have to split minutes with each other

Whereas Kalkbrenner is thinking either, "I'm better than both of them," or, "They have two centers who are better than I am?"

Hmm...

I was impressed against LIU when Clingan caught a pass from Newton beyond the foul line, took one dribble and drove in for a layup.

 

[JustbrewitMan]

Yeah the shot mechanics are good, it's just his arc/release point, which is extremely difficult for tall guys with long arms. He keeps back rimming it because he needs more arc.

Or it could be he has too much energy from not playing enough minutes

Seems like a no brainer to me.

We should play our 5 tallest players. We'll get every rebound and dunk everything.
