UConn in the NBA: Nov 24/25

[Tyler2Rings]

Clingan's impact has never been measured in boxscores. Every time he's on the court his teams play much better, it isn't a coincidence.

Seems to be a trend with Hurley graduates. Didn't AJax have some insane +/- on a 8/5/4 line or thereabouts?

Castle's stats aren't amazing right now but I swear he has a play a game where he just does stuff most can't just like at UConn. He's been playing really well since he moved into the starting role.

Donovan with his first double-double in the third against Minnesota.

Up to 17-12-8 in the fourth. Block party for DC. 2 to go

This is what I was waiting for Clingan in 31 minutes of playing time had 17 points 13 rebounds (6 offensive) 5-5 ft's and 8 blocks. Six blocks in the 4th quarter. Just a totally dominant performance and people are going crazy about him on social media. Blazers 2-0 with Donovan as starter.

DC. 17,12,8 Trailblazers WIN. How great is that?
Portland play Clingan and win. They are getting the same message as us.

Clingan breakout game! 31 minutes, 17 points, 12 rebounds! 8 blocks (!!!) on 6-10 FG and 5-5 FT (!!!). Ayton’s one way flight out of Phoenix just got a little closer

Giannis stole the show with 59 points, but Andre had 4 points, 2 rebounds, 2 assists and was a +23 in a 7 point win

Wemby had the spotlight with 50 but Castle had a solid game. 10 points, 5 rebounds on 50% shooting

In the G League, Newton had 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists

 

[REB1094]

Wasn’t watching but I count 7 highlight-worthy plays in the 4th quarter alone while the Blazers pulled away. Kid is special

Does he mean this season, or ever lol

Pretty sure he means ever. Incredibly high praise coming from Sam.

Lost in the shuffle a bit, Tyrese Martin got 17 minutes for the Nets against the Celtics yesterday and got 6 points on 2-6 shooting. This is only the third game he's appeared in, and the first one with any real minutes (as well as his first points of the season).

Would be nice to see him get some run with that team.

 

[Waquoit]

Clingan was almost as good the night before. His facilitation on offense has been the spark for the Blazers. Guys are getting free because of him.

Sarcasm? It's this season, there have been some rookies picked outside of the top 10 playing pretty good ball this year

 

[ted920]

I'd say that is some IMPRESSIVE company for our Mr. Clinging.

Doin' BIG things.

great thread, click the tweet for the rest. the poster makes note of plays where they missed DC on the roll/lob, I only watched the highlights so it was good see Scoot make the connection on some of these plays but man so many times this season I've watched games and I've seen plays where I know Tristen/Cam/Steph would have hit DC for the lob while Portland's guards/wings miss him over and over again. I wish he could have landed in either Atl or Memphis with Trae/Ja, he would have been eating with those 2.

Steph...please no with this 'do.

Castle's last four games: 14.3 ppg, 5 apg (3.3:1 a/to), 2.5 rpg, 47% FG, 29.5 mpg.

It’s cool when you watch Steph on the floor with CP3 that Chris lets him run the offense a lot. It’s a true apprentice like when AJ/Kemba, Kemba/Bazz, and Bazz/Boat would play together.

Castle's last four games: 14.3 ppg, 5 apg (3.3:1 a/to), 2.5 rpg, 47% FG, 29.5 mpg.

And in his last 3 games, shooting 40% from 3 (6-15). Small sample size, but encouraging.
