Meet The NBA's Next Great Rim Protector

[@ryanamburgy2791]

Clingan is the most underrated rookie. Hes #5 on my list(behind McCain, Edey, Castle, and Knecht)

[@diego_are11an8]

Jaylen wells is good aswell

[@Davivd2]

Weak draft class..... SMH

[@weball4l]

@@Davivd2 you dont know ball

[@notcharles625]

@weball4l How is that a bad take?

[@GetSwung-r2n]

How is wells not on your list he’s leading all western conference rookies in scoring?

[@thuggwaffle8825]

What’s unique about Clingan is his timing. He knows how to bait guards into testing him at the rim. He doesn’t fully extend until the shot is already up, seemingly coming out of nowhere.

[@HoopVenue]

Great observation!

[@BigBlackCantonese]

Duncan esque imo

[@DEVILONBOTHSHOULDERS]

@@BigBlackCantonese yes also staying glued to the floor until the guy attacking the rim has already left the ground

like there’s a exclamation mark above his head is crazy work hoop venue 😭😂😂

[@HoopVenue]

Out there looking like a Pokemon Trainer!

[@Davivd2]

He looks great. I haven't had a chance to see Portland play yet so this was my first look at him. Even on the plays where he got beat, his recovery looked good. With the right training he could be Gobert 2.0

[@HoopVenue]

Agreed!

[@LightlyI2I]

I completely agree man.

[@mattnoonan6519]

Clingan replacing Ayton has made Portland better. Hope he heals up and gets better soon.

[@VeryRestarted]

He’s not good on offense unlike aytkn

Well, even if Wemby steals it. Chances are.....He'll commit a turnover....

Camara is their long term 3 and D wing who has already been great for them this year

[@HoopVenue]

He's been great!

[@Chi2Awaken]

As long as he stops taking shots and sticks to dunking he'll do okay! He's Thybulle 2.0. Great D and inconsistent shooting!

[@thuggwaffle8825]

@@Chi2Awaken He’s shooting 36% from 3 this season, why would he need to stop shooting? Thats above league average

[@maxmeier532]

the clip with zion reminds me, zion is the kid in high school who is always top of the class, straight As, and then he gets to a good college and finds himself being just average. A king just in the pond.

[@adamnelson2248]

Amazing analysis as always!

Glad you enjoyed!

i can see that clingan's rookie year is like mitchell robinson's rookie year

6:30 UNFORTUNATELY I SEE AIRBALL LAYUPS EVERYDAY ON NBA 2K25💔😭😭

[@jonasbrown1]

the thing getting me through this year of our rebuild is the defense. it’s genuinely fun to watch

[@Iso_SSB]

they need to trade ayton already

[@Davivd2]

They want to. But he's on an expensive contract and nobody wants to bank on him making franchise money and not be a franchise player.

[@N279]

To who bro, people say this all the time but it’s not like big contracts for underperforming guys are easy to offload. Trades don’t just magically happen there needs to be another team to actually trade to

[@simong7202]

they should just release him nobody wants that garbage can

[@legenddaryl537]

ayton gonna be one of the worst contract in the next few seasons.. that dude is the worst player in the league, sure he can do things but you can never bank on him to win you games

[@Davivd2]

@@legenddaryl537 Worst player in the league? Google Gabe Vincent my dude. Ayton is so much better.

[@okboxed4717]

[@HoopVenue]

Coming soon!

[@hubertsumlin9697]

Excellent video

[@HoopVenue]

Thanks!

[@allank8497]

imo when we talk about a players height we should start primarily using standing reach. Most ways in which “height” is advantageous it’s not actually height that matters it’s reach. The only exception I can think of is seeing over defenders at passing angles.

[@felixl.l.2060]

Agreed. And while wingspan is a helpful and good stat, people often equate it with arm length, which it isn't, it's arm length PLUS torso width. So a guy could theoretically have short arms and good wingspan if his chest was broad enough. Standing reach is a way underused stat/way of thinking of these guys.

[@legenddaryl537]

its not the height nor wingspan.. its about mentality and effort.. ayton has 9'3 standing reach 4" less than clingan but has 43 max vert compared to clingan who has 29?? ayton has more potential as a defender but the dude is lazy.. one of the worst characteristic of a basketball player is laziness

[@Vasco224]

A couple times i saw Shai cook on the perimeter then drive to the paint about to have a crazy highlight then Clingan disrupts the whole thing with his size

[@InsidiousSwede]

Clingan will end up being the steal of the draft. His defensive potential is unlimited!

[@roddizon2242]

Just put some protection on his knees, just like Bill Walton who is one of the best shot blocker he injured his knee and he was not the same anymore. Protect your knee with some protection.

[@BallinVlogs]

great analysis

[@ArmakKun]

he was one of them kind, called "SUPERSTAR ROLE PLAYERS" ... dennis rodman, dikembe motumbo, ben wallace, are some of the past guys that has that title ...

[@abigailmcdowell4248]

He moves like he already has arthritis in the hips, his lateral movement looks so stiff and strained that a little trip, slip or stretch would cause HUGE issues, I know injuries to big men are sometimes overblow, but I can't help but be worried

[@andrewabraham5109]

Tyler, what is the next video that will be uploaded?

[@jakeryan2168]

How do you guys think minutes will effect his game? Will it make him better, or being a big man, will the extra fatigue have a negative impact?

[@LunaticTheCat]

I just hope he's able to stay healthy.

[@Matthew-xl5bc]

The Hawks should have traded down and drafted down imo. Clingan with Dyson and Jalen Johnson would have great to watch.

[@bartekino]

Why trade down? There was no clear Nr 1 2 or 3 or whatever pick. This draft was ''free''.

[@SheeshEther]

Just when I went to go pick him up in fantasy he’s hurt 😢

[@RoryChristopher-l7z]

he played for my aau team

[@mhirang4199]

Scoot (i believe, but he's slowly turning into worse Jalen Green which is saying something), Sharpe, Camara, maybe another younger piece in a future draft and Clingan. Great foundational pieces

[@KSS_07]

Scoot's playstyle is way different to Jalen Green's

[@joeschmoe2155]

He was the Big to draft in my opinion, and if the Grizzlies somehow were able to get him it might have been wraps for the Western Conference.

[@derekmyers7880]

He completely stuffed Gobert to the ground without jumping

[@zyxwut321]

He looks like a modern white Mutombo.

[@3_0_0_0]

Thumbnail had me do a double take because i thought that was Ryan Garcia

[@chronicle_4]

He is the Walker Kessler of this years draft. But I think he has higher ceiling. The mobility issue can be schemed by having a good coach. No Chauncey aint it.

Portland Trail Blazers need trade DeAndre Ayton & Robert Williams III this coming trade deadline for Clingan more OPPORTUNITY 💪🔥💪

[@micho3038]

Who knew, a young center who fouls a lot also has a lot of blocks. y'all don't get this twisted it's happened so many times 😂

[@BrooklynBalla]

Yup,it’s way too early to tell.Mitchell Robinson was similar and as he got better his blocks per game actually decreased along with his foul rate.

[@EasternDeath]

Jaren Jackson Jr had the same problems too. He figured it out and eventually became DPOY.

[@SuperYoungjb]

Wemby was the only rookie center who blocked 3.6 shots while only giving up about 2.2 fouls per 36

[@chetisanhart3457]

[@Oncopoda]

It's literally impossible for one player to be taller and have longer arms than another and yet have an identical standing reach. I think you were fed some bad data.

[@HoopVenue]

It isn’t. If a player’s height and wingspan adds up to 6 inches longer, but the other player’s shoulder placement is 6 inches higher, they will have the exact same standing reach.

[@MusicKnowledge-ku5ih]

He's just another walker Kessler

[@thasneemrizvi]

Im ngl if Ayton and Avdija weren't on the team I'd be watching way more Blazers than i am currently, i just really like everybody else on that team (Ayton for Basketball reasons and Avdija for Non-Basketball reasons), Clingan is great, i really like Shaedon still, Jabari Walker is super underrated, I also still have faith in Scoot
