Article from the Hartford Courant.
Former UConn players have found out just how tough it is to make a name for yourself in the world’s best league, and while a few of them are excelling, some are facing uncertain times ahead. It doesn’t take much– a loss of confidence, a minor flaw in your game, a not-fully-fit ankle to throw you off, and sometimes out of the rotation.

Castle will be fine but Wemby is a concern. I really hope his career isnt derailed by injury. Would love to see him fulfill his immense potential. I truly believe he has the potential to be the greatest player the game has ever seen.

I just don't see how his body holds up long enough to be an all-time great.

Eh, he has a calf strain which is so common. Wemby has had one freak injury with the blood clot so far.
Sitting out with the calf strain is more of a preventative for the Achilles. Wemby is freakishly nimble and flexible (like he can do a split). He was seriously made in a lab to play the game.

You talk about improvement?
Clingan has been starting of late.
Last night Portland lost at home by one point to a tough Chicago team.
Clingan started again.
Played 17 minutes.
Shot 7-13 from the floor.
Had 21 rebounds...Twenty One in 17 minutes!
Keep adjusting to physical play...keep working on his offensive skills and what
will Portland have? A lot!

Including 10 offensive rebounds! He had a rough stretch for a bit, but looks like he's found his groove again.

We all know the offense is a major work in progress (his fg% doesn't look too good because Portland has him shooting so many threes) but his defense and rebounding is elite. Clingan is 10th in the NBA in rebounds per game and second in offensive rebounds per game. Per 48 he's second in the NBA in rebounding and first in offensive rebounding. 9th in blocks per game, 4th in blocks per 48.
