Donovan Clingan Will Become A STAR In Portland...

Please dear GOD let this man stay healthy and avoid the curse of previously broken Blazer Centers!!! 🙏🙏🙏

I heard a rumor a bunch of teams were ecstatic when they chose Holland because it meant somebody good would fall and voilà!

Yall got Jalen Duren who’s a really solid young center though

This man is special DAMN it he is 7th like SHAE and I can’t wait to seem them both shred together with scoot PG

His reaction time is actually incredible.

Bruhh I was so devastated when they mop the floor on the jazz. But yeah he was a menace to the court

As a Blazer fan I love where we're at with the rebuild. Wish Sharpe could stay healthy but other than that I'm super excited with where we're headed.

i had expectations for scoot's second season and so far I'm very disappointed in him.

[@jeremyb5862]

@@resudeew2636 yes i have expectations for a 3rd ovr pick who is the one we are talking about trading anfernee to build around. scoot looks the same as last year regular season isn't going to magically make him able to make layups. he is an undersized who can't play defense, shoot or make layups, it doesn't take a genius to know he isn't the player he should be by year 2.

Would be fun to see the Blazers put a huge lineup out there of Simons,Grant,Deni,Ayton,Clingan

[@Flowers4Fischl]

No spacing unless Ayrton proves he can shoot 3s consistently now

[@zebgunnarsson1302]

Hopefully we see that because personally I love Ayton and want him to play a role in this team for years to come

[@BuckandOden]

@@Flowers4Fischl Donovan and Ayton both seem to have decent jump shots.You obviously don't have the shooting with Ayton has you do with a stretch 4, but you'd have great rebounding, interior defense, and the overall length could be very disruptive defensively.

[@Jshdjsndh]

COOPER FLAGG AND ITS OVER!!!!! Even without him shit looks good in Portland babyyyyyyyy

[@gregbors8364]

@EuTimingFirst of all, they don’t have a superstar like Dame anymore, but this current Blazer team from 2 to 15 is deeper than any they had in the Dame era. Secondly, they did make the WCF with Dame, in 2019.

[@gregbors8364]

@EuTiming yeah I’ll agree with you that the team needs to draft at least one franchise player. Sharpe has real potential but he hasn’t proven anything yet

Measured 7’1.75 barefoot. Legit 7’3 in shoes with high feel and a knack for being in the right spot. Future Marc Gasol type impact

[@dantefazzina9037]

Clinton is 7’ 3” and on a diet is 280 pounds. He has great footwork and instincts. He is a total team player. All you have to do is research his family background and devotion to his late mother and father. He passed on the prep school hype scene to finish his high school career at Bristol Central High in honor of his mother. He then played for Dan Hurley and committed to the team approach. So here he is in the NBA!

[@grandsons12]

Reminds me of the Center sabornis that they had in the past or bill Walton 76 77 years

[@dubbatrubba1759]

If he develops more on the offensive side, he’ll be great. His defense, blocks, and rebounding are already spectacular.

[@ahnguyen1]

Portland finally got a star big man

[@prettyridesmedia]

Had the chance to be the best college player of all time … glad he’s at a great organization

@@DPR-GENX or maybe if he just stayed for 2 more years instead of entering the draft. You realize he was dominat for 2 years along with 2 championships. 🤔

[@Robertedwinhouse38]

Can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find this comment

[@pg13pacernation30]

Bros got a 7-foot-7 wingspan and excellent mobility for his size. No question the potential there especially as a defender, particularly around the rim but could struggle when asked to switch out onto much quicker players also Clingan is going to face much taller and stronger big men in the NBA, and he won't be able to rely as much on his height as he did in college. He probably won't be a volume 3pt shooter but has the potential to develop into a floor spacer in time.

[@jamestonga6281]

Are we not gonna talk about that old timey run he does with his arms? 😅

[@DTachaJr]

Isn't it a shame that the scouts didn't see what a bust Scoot Henderson is turning out to be? With the new big man a great generational point guard would be a treat indeed.

[@johnfitzpatrick8310]

Let's not give up on Scoot quite yet. He's a smart, very athletic guy, with a great attitude. I believe he'll figure it out by next season. But why the heck didn't they play him in Vegas?

[@MSotelo503]

Scoot is only 20, He'll be a solid pg.

[@MeRacko]

looking at this footage he looks slow and akward and can't get of the floor

[@OwenRona]

good minimum expectation for top 14 picks is to an NBA AllStar. Anything Less is BUST

[@timevans4942]

Until he get injured

[@BrianLawrence-vk3pu]

Clingan has a decent feel for the game but his true impact will be dependent on him developing an outside shot. His ceiling seems to be Steven Adams without 3-point development and Brooke Lopez if he does. He doesn't possess Shaq or Wemby upside, unfortunately. He will be an above average center with limited offensive ability.

[@shadshad2972]

You sound stupid there’s only one shaq in Wimbley so I don’t even know why you would make those comparisons. He already makes threes his floor is Steven Adams, his ceiling, his Marc Gasol.

[@dannewth7149]

His ceiling is Sabonis.

[@thuggwaffle8825]

Bro he’s already a much, much better rim protector than Steven Adams has ever been

[@crazekananas]

Steven Adams is already a more limited player than Clingan.. I think Marcus Camby is his floor; shot blocking, passing, good touch and IQ. His ceiling isn't much higher, but could borderline on being a Top 5 center.

[@johnfitzpatrick8310]

@@dannewth7149 Donovan definitely outjumps Blazer era Sabas.

[@CaseTwelve]

He'll be a 10 and 10 guy with a few blocks, maybe 14 and and 11 tops, which isn't bad. ...Passing on Edey was a giant mistake, who will provide better defense, plus an unblockable post game.
