So You’re Telling Me There’s A Chance

I agree with your assessment of Clingan. He's a beast. But don't get too enthusiastic about DC being a centerpiece of championship # 6 right now. He's got to learn how to play without fouling. He was in foul trouble several times after only a few minutes of game time last year. If he were to play roughly 30 minutes per game, at that rate he'd average 4.5 - 5 fouls a game. Fouling out of half of our games is not going to help us much. That being said, Clingan is a game changer that can certainly be an important cog in the new season.
Well the good news is you get 5 fouls and we don't want more than 30 minutes from him. The foul rate was high, but it generally is high for freshman bigs as they learn to play defense in college. Sanogo was at 6.6 fouls per 40 minutes as a freshman, Edey was at 6.2, Clingan was at 5.7. Both of those guys were around 4 their sophomore and junior years, I expect the same for Donovan
 
If AJ comes back I expect another championship.
We'd go nuts! Though I'm getting used to idea that he's not gonna be here next year. If he comes back it'll feel like when you find out that the savings bond your great aunt gave you when you were born is now worth 4 grand.
 
I think people are sleeping on how much Stewart, Ross, and Ball will produce. Castle is more known, but those other incoming freshmen will be better than most realize. And Singare will develop a lot just from practicing against Clingan.
This is the dream. We have to have faith in these newcomers as highly as they rank. we're not talking about a bunch of stiffs here.
