At this rate he'll be retiring after his first season.

"I don't know if I was nervous. The first-game jitters," Clingan told reporters. "Today I changed my mindset coming into this game. I just had a stronger mindset. I realized I had to dominate my opponent and help my team win. I went in there with a whole lot of confidence."

Blazer fans were still non-committal after the first game's 1-8 shooting, but reading the internet content now and they are head over heals in love.

Being the fan base of Bill Walton, they love a big that can pass.
 
can't watch the game right now but I see Tristen is getting an opportunity and that boxscore shooting/scoring wise is not pretty

He is only 1 for 9, unfortunately. I have been watching the the game. He hasn't let the bad shooting affect his hustle and his play. His defense has been good and he has forced some turnovers on the he Suns. His rebounding and passing have been on point.
 
Watching summer league makes me appreciate UConn's offense even more. They don't run much of anything in these games.
 
Tristen finished with 10 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals, 1 block, 2 turnovers, and 1 foul in 23 minutes. As noted by others, he shot poorly: 1-9 overall, 0-3 from three, but 8-8 on FT. His all-around game is so solid. I just hope he starts shooting better, or that they think they can improve his shooting.

Bulls went up big but fell apart at the end of the game. Sanogo finished with 10 points and 6 rebounds on 5-9
 
Clingan starts by missing a monster alley oop dunk, but locks up the paint and gets a layup on the other end

1-5 to start, offense is definitely gonna take some time but they sure are letting him put up threes. They clearly think that's a shot he'll eventually be hitting.
 
Clingan stays in front of Sarr makes him take a tough runner. He is moving well. Sarr is definitely more than 7’ tall. Then he does not secure the rebound on the foul shot. That was a miss. He has to get his body on him to take away that reach over. But for the few minutes they have played against each other Clingan is certainly showing up.

Yep, this game is hard to watch. Clingan is clamping up Sarr, but that's not saying too much because Sarr has also had a really poor offensive showing this summer league

After 1 quarter -
Clingan: 2 points, 4 rebounds, 1-4
Sarr: 0 points, 4 rebounds, 0-5

Wizards shooting 31% but they're up because the Blazers are shooting 19%

Yep, 1-4. Boxscore had it wrong earlier, I should've trusted my eyes.
 
Offense in this game is pretty miserable, but something to be said about how the Wizards play when Clingan is off the court. They're getting to the paint at will when he's on the bench. Small things that don't show up in the box score - scaring the other team and forcing them to avoid the paint

But if we do try to put it in the box score, he's a game high +7 in 8 minutes
 
Clingan impacts the game in his teams favor when he is on the floor. Or at least that is what I am seeing in this game. He appears to be in good shape is moving well. I think his impact will show up even more when they are actually playing basketball. What they are playing right now is a good pick up game that is being played in any number of locations throughout the country. Last night in the Grizzlies game I counted nine consecutive trips down the floor for them where the ball was passed less than two times after it got past half court. One pass and a shot.

Dennis Scott commented that Clingan’s offense should get better with veteran teammates that know how to get him the ball. He also complimented his hands.

His scoring numbers probably won't look too great this season but his advanced #'s will be awesome.
 
Clingan REALLY struggles to finish. Other aspects have been very good and he is blocking a ton, but he is ROUGH offensively.
 
Clingan gets hacked twice, misses layup, no calls. To the point his bench is up in the air yelling at the ref. Then still gets back on D for the block. Comes down court and hits a 3 (after some hesitation).

archetype aura. theoretical discussion about 'most valuable archetypes for future of nba' without appropriate player level grounding. also leads to underappreciation of certain guys.

There was a lot of "He can guard in space!"... yeah because he's 7'0 and only 220 lbs. But you can't defend centers at 220.
