Donovan Clingan FULL UCONN Season Highlights | 2x NCAA CHAMPION | 13 PPG 7.4 RPG 63.9 FG%

Спорт

It's been an up-and-down season for Clingan (ranked No. 3 in our top 100), who hasn't set college basketball on fire in his sophomore season but has put together a solid campaign after dealing with a foot injury early in the season. The 7-foot-2 center is capable of impacting games considerably with his size and has proved efficient around the rim, making 65.9% of his 2s this season and averaging four blocks per 40. Expecting a full Zach Edey-like breakout from Clingan would be inaccurate, but the intrinsic qualities Clingan possesses -- certainly in more of a throwback sense at center -- will always hold intrigue. There are factors at play in the evaluation that might be out of Clingan's control: He's a fluid athlete for someone his size but still isn't particularly quick getting off the floor or moving his feet to recover and change directions in coverage. His rebounding numbers have been underwhelming due to the fact that he can be slow getting to 50-50 balls outside his area. He has exhibited some potential to stretch the floor in warmups, but he's not doing that yet, and his poor free throw shooting (55.9%) won't help his statistical case there. There's potentially a good bit of growth ahead for Clingan offensively due to his touch and footwork, but whether a big his size can function at a high level for extended minutes is salient. While Edey -- a common point of comparison -- can rely on his offensive dominance over multiple seasons to make a unique case for himself, Clingan isn't at that level as a scorer and it's likely not realistic to expect that. I think this will ultimately become less a statistical case and more of an eye-test question for evaluators -- teams will be closely assessing Clingan's mobility and impact on the run of play in March as they attempt to realistically project his NBA impact during a season where he has underperformed at times. There's also a bit of concern about his injury track record at his size. The late lottery isn't out of the question, but much of this will ultimately come down to fit and need -- good organizations typically don't just draft a 7-2 center without a plan to optimize him. -- Jeremy Woo

    He is not a finished product by any means, he can hold his own right now, but he will improve rapidly in the coming years.

    @@JJTooGood25 But I feel like Sengun is getting cooked by other 4s in the league. Does he have the foot speed to defend on the perimeter?? That seems like a big mistake in my opinion.
