UConn in the NBA Jan 2026

[3rdbass]

Clingan with 15 points and 10 rebounds against the Lakers in the 3rd period. He really has become a pretty decent NBA player.

Clingan with 15 points and 10 rebounds against the Lakers in the 4th period. He really has become a pretty decent NBA player.

5-5 from two and 1-6 from three today.

Queue rant about which shot should be getting more of his focus.

All his two pointers this year are off of his own offensive rebounds. They never pass him the ball underneath.

They've thrown him two lobs off pick and rolls in this game just from what I've seen.

Rolling to the rim seems like a pretty efficient way to space the floor for the team and easy points.

Did you hear the Blazers analyst say a key to the game was Clingan getting the ball up high and “picking apart the Lakers defense”?

I didn’t. But I did see a play where Clingan rolled on a pick and roll, LeBron tried to cut him off at the FT line, and it left someone wide open for a dunk that Clingan was able to get an assist on.

Almost like there’s way more efficient ways to put pressure on a defense that they actually have to respect.

Crazy stat of the day: Clingan is shooting better from NBA three (30.7%) than Ball is this year from College 3 (27.5%).

Almost like they’re playing well the way they have him playing.

That is……troubling

I mean yeah,

if they have success 90% of the time they do one thing that he goes 5-5 doing and it also generates assists

It doesn’t mean that the thing he went 1-6 doing was also effective because they ended up winning

Well, it is effective. He doesn’t go 1-6 every game, as crazy as that sounds to you.

He is shooting 36% from 3 since the beginning of December and the team is 13-7 in that span. Seems like he’s effecting winning in this aspect. Cheers!

And better than Jordan Hawkins.

It helps that all of Clingan's attempts are unguarded.
