Message: [QUOTE="caw, post: 5255953, member: 563"] Castle has been fantastic as a rookie but I do think Clingan would be challenging him for ROY if he had been in a better situation to start the year. The Blazers (IMO) trying to increase Ayton's trade value and playing him so much hurt them a lot both in terms of Clingan's development and any chance they had at the playoffs. Clingan has 35 games as a starter at about 24 MPG: 7.6 PPG, 9.8 RPG, 1.6 APG, 2.1 BPG and 0.7 SPG. The standout is the 2.8 STOCKS per game in 24 MPG. That is outstanding and if he held those numbers for the year he would be third in the league behind Dyson Daniels (3.73 in 34 MPG) and Walker Kessler (3.0 in 30 MPG). Even as things stand (in total) he is tied for second in STOCKS per minute behind Johathan Issacs, tied with Daniels, Adem Bona and Ausar Thompson. His rebounding is also quite good even in total (and probably better as a starter), as he has a Rebound Percentage of 17.8% and an ORBD% of 14.2. [/QUOTE]
