February UConn in the Pros

Clingan was having a big stats game 15 pts 9 rebs but the Blazers got absolutely hammered so he only played 19 minutes. They lost by 54 points, Clingan was -11.

He made his first two 3's and even stopped Jokic dealing on him at the rim. Then the Nuggets just got clinical, especially from 3.
 
Numbers don't tell the whole story of how great Clingan today. When he was in the game, the Suns had no chance at the rim. They pretty much stopped trying. Once in a while they tried to sneak one by and it was either blocked or missed. 3-6 from 3 for the 2nd straight game.

Clingan has been a monster in February. Averaging 15 points, 13 rebounds, 3 assists, 2.3 blocks. Shooting 55% from the field and 46% from three on 4 attempts per game (!!)

It’s breaking my brain that 40% of a 7’2 guy’s shots are threes and he’s still doing so well this month. But it’s working for now
 
If you watch, when he's in the game he's running. None of this "wait for the big man up get up the floor" stuff. He's in fantastic shape. He plays more minutes in the 2nd game of back-to-backs because Timelord sits and their 3rd-string is a stiff.

I was just going to say that DC has gotten in much better shape; leaner, quicker, and bouncier.

To think that some were saying Edey (based on early impressions last year) would be better than DC.

Unfortunately for Edey, injuries look like what will hinder his career.

He's a beast, already one of the best centers in the league.

Edey never looked like a guy built to sustain 82 games. That said, he was generally without injury at the college level. I worry about Cling as well.

Edey when healthy this season was outperforming DC, the issue is now you probably have to worry about his ankle longterm given it's been 2 seasons of issues/operations for a massive dude

Edey will also be great if he stays healthy but it doesn't look great on that front.

Castle, Clingan, and Edey should've been the top 3 picks IMO.

Sarr has turned out to be a pretty good player w/upside on a bad team.

Sarr has been great too. Risacher was always gonna be this. Castle-Sarr-Clingan and Edey are for sure the best, Kyshawn George looks like a steal, too.

Buzelis is also a stud but Castle, Clingan, and Edey would be my top 3 in that order.

Wizards made some interesting moves to potentially put themselves in contention in the East.

They’re big risks with two injury prone guys, but they gave up close to nothing to add them to their young core. While holding onto their draft pick for this year.

They don't have a plan. They traded Deni Avdija because he didn't fit their "long-term timeline". Then they bring in Trae Young and Anthony Davis?

I’d have Sarr over Edey for sure. Defensive versatility and inside-out offense. But, Edey is better than I expected for sure. Wasn’t sure he would have the mobility to hang but he looks good out there.

Trae when healthy is a very good Pg, and they have the athletic wing defenders to cover some of his flaws on that side of the ball. AD unfortunately may never be healthy, but that PnR with he and Trae, and Sarr as well, will be lethal. I think they will be good next season.
