Sleeper Deep Dives: Donovan Clingan

[businesslawyer]

This has to be satire.

LMAO. The 2006 and 2012 teams beg to differ based on how often Rudy Gay and Andre Drummond were allowed to do their things in games where UConn was more effective when they weren't in.

If you sit what is perceived to be your star, sometimes it's for the good but coaches also have to factor in both chemistry and whether it effects the ability to attract stars in the future.

I hate the per 40 stat projections for front court players, especially young centers. Fouls, conditioning, matchups, etc all cloud that data.

I average 40 a game with a 68% three shooting per forty in my driveway. ( on a two minute sample)

 

[UConnSwag11]

And 6.7 per 40 in Big East play. It's really the only thing holding him back at this point besides the occasional positional mismatch.

Fouls aren't keeping him back....

 

[UConnSwag11]

Clingan is the one who makes us go on the runs during games to either comeback or pull away. Arguably the most important player

Play him. Unleash the Clingan monster early and as often as you can. View attachment 83758

Yes. Let him foul out or play 25+ minutes, every game.

George Santos? Here?

Donovan is one of the main keys to turning the mid season slump around. The only way he gets significantly more minutes is to commit to the Double Big 10-15 minutes a game. He’s a game changer on a team the needs one.
We must move away from our mid major schemes (4 out/1 in, high hedge with Big, etc) and play elite D1 ball.

Timestamped at 2:15am. Was this a "sleep-post" or a "drunk-post"?

In vino veritas.

I’d love to see 4 min per half with both DC and AS on the floor. Would be even better if Hurley could time it for when the opponents main big is out for a breather.

Solid reasons-offensively and defensively -why both DC and AS should be on the floor at the same time. Hurley and staff have to help create the plays and chemistry between them that I’ll make it work. . ( Granted that all teams/players are different but Xavier and Coach Miller seem to have cracked the code).

More talk about Clingan's NBA potential. Sounds like at least 1 more year. I know someone who had dinner with a close family friend and they were saying the family was thinking 3 years. But that can easily change.

“I think he needs a little bit more time to develop,” Barrette noted. “You don’t want to leave too early. He knows he needs more time. He’s got to develop.”
