But a big man capable of hitting 3's as well. I'd love to see him on San Antonio, and I'm not even a Spurs fan, him and Wemby would be amazing together. Donovan is no Wemby of course, but has not even come close to reaching his potential.
@@BASHirNimryThere's plenty of bigs in the NBA who dhy away from contact, refuse to use their size or bang inside, and would rather half ass their defensive responsibilities just chill on the perimeter to shoot jumpers.
He's definitely not Wemba or the Joker, but he has a lot of potential, which means that if he finds the right team, he can make his mark in the NBA.The Rockets who don't have a defensive center could be his ideal destination, especially with a coach like Udoka.Good luck Donovan, you deserve it!!!!!
@@judarod1two of the 4 are trash so hell yea we need him. Let’s go 🚀. He can play behind Sengun or Smith Jr. Get Adams and that other 🗑️ out of here. 😂
@@rodrigopolastre Marc Gasol had a nice touch around the rim, a mid range and a 3P shooting range with above average FT for a big man. On top of that, Marc could really pass the ball. This dude is nothing like Marc, unless you compare him because Marc won a DPOY, but that´s all they got in common. And being both white.
Reminds me of walker Kessler with slightly better passing. Don’t know if that is worth a top 5 pick in most drafts. It seems like this draft class lacks prospects with star potential but has a lot of guys that could be solid role players in the NBA
I'm envisioning a Sengun/Clingan/Jabari Smith Jr. front court in Houston with Adams coming off the bench. They would brutalize opponents down low and open up the athletic guards and wings.
This dude is exactly what the Pelicans need. Not a defensive liability, can move up and down the court, athletic, can score... especially with JV contract coming up, sign me up!!
He needs to hit the weight room. I feel like he would be a much better player if his lower body was stronger. He would be a better rim runner and post player with a stronger base. He would play better through contact if he had more strength. Plus, guys wont be able to push him around in the paint either if he gets stronger.
In Hurley’s successful season Clingan takes a conservative role, but if you can locate the short video of him shooting threes one can easily imagine he has much more to offer, especially on a team like OKC. But I’m guessing he goes top 8 unless Presti can produce his Magic.
Absolutely can’t disagree. UConn’s system keeps him under reins. His workouts will show what he has. And he will be an elite picker in the pros.@@NoCeilingsNBA
@@ujunwokorobia8799 I agree w/your comment but it also depends on the makeup of the team. Gobert with his defense, for example, is a perfect fit for the Wolves. Draymond & Looney for GS, Ayton for POR, Gafford w/Dallas... none shoot the 3 but none are liabilities either. Gobert or Ayton with a 3 pt shot would be a cheat-code too tho so I get what you're saying.
The challenge I believe for him will be how fast the defense switches down low for him - it’s faster and stronger in the NBA - I’m a hawks fan and I still want them to draft Sarr
@@wengwong2650 i still think Zach Edey is a better player , Clingan is pretty good , but Purdue relied on Edey too much , Uconn is a better team overall
I'm starting to get on board with the Spurs dumping Zach Collins and making Clingan the starting 4 to pair with Wembanyama. Sheesh. Can you imagine. He'd help in those slow methodical late round playoff matchups down the road too. Victor could do his thing, let this guy be the banger.
@@GunninRebel55he actually can, he’s an elite all around defender but I don’t think he’s on Goberts level. By the way, Gobert gets wrecked out on the perimeter by guards like Luka and Steph. It’s a trade off you have to make with bigs.
@@invisobill2125 Exactly. Gobert got taken off the court vs the Clipps in a closeout game. Clingan has about 65% of Gobert's mobility. I just think he's gonna get put in the P&R and exposed until he shows he can defend in space. We'll find out soon enough. I hope I'm wrong.
If I were his height, I would've been the best player in NBA history. I was born 5'6 with above average athleticism, and elite shot, very good passing and decent defense. But, I had an elite post game at my size which opened up opportunities for shooters. Kind of like an old school Mark Jackson player. Instead, I am left typing about on my laptop in my misery and you just wasted about 35-40 seconds reading this...
Greg Ostertag. He’d look good on the Warriors as a bigger version of Kevon Looney but he needs to get that weight down to last the marathon of the NBA season.
Good luck to this young man, but 57% from the stripe and 30% from deep doesn't seem like it will work right now in the NBA. Hope he proves me wrong. He might. I hope so. I like him.
A lot of his blocks were fouls. On some of those plays, all he needed to so was keep his arms up and make them shoot over him. He will be in foul trouble often.
Seriously, How is this guy projected top 5? This guy moves like a tank & has ZERO post moves. Only reason why he was successful in college is because he’s a good 3-4 inches taller/15 lbs heavier than everyone on the court. He is not cerebral at all & seems to just use his size as his advantage, which is not gona work in the NBA. He has terrible hands when the ball is thrown to him, seems to always be fumbling the pass, At best, this guy will be a Jakob poetl type player
Bust. What an awful pick for the Blazers.. even in his "highlights" here he's so weak that he can barely finish over players vastly smaller than him. He's going to have a hell of a time scoring in the NBA. Look how awkward his legs get when he comes down or tries to change directions. He is an injury waiting to happen. No lower body strength and no upper body strength. Awkward like a baby giraffe. Terrible terrible pick. If we needed a big traditional center, Edey was the pick.
I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to see a big man play like a big man.
He has no choice. He’s big. 😂
I was thinking the same. Most refreshing.
But a big man capable of hitting 3's as well. I'd love to see him on San Antonio, and I'm not even a Spurs fan, him and Wemby would be amazing together. Donovan is no Wemby of course, but has not even come close to reaching his potential.

He’s a better player than Bronny.

@NoCeilingsNBA what makes him better than Edey?
He is a mediocre centre. Just good. Nothing special about him.
A centre who cannot shoot 3s is a liability in today's NBA.

NO EDEY TO SPURS
He should stay one more year to develop his game to be more NBA ready, I feel like going pro now would stunt his potential
You don't stay another year if you're a projected lottery pick, you secure the bag
Not if he goes to the right situation, like the Grizzlies. They have an elite developmental staff.
@@marinecamYes sir, You play to win the game. Securing the bag is the first major win.
he's solid, but in a normal draft, he's a late 1st rounder the highest.
🧢. He’s easily a lottery pick.
@@BASHirNimry yeah maybe in a weak draft like this year's.... he got outplayed by Edey and was like 3rd option on his own team
Rockets better pick him at 3
Teams are going to need size in the next 5yrs with victor in SA. Will start seeing 7 footers in the post just to clog up the lane
This dude can’t guard victor ; victor gonna take him to the 3 point line and walk right by him lol
This guy can be overtaken by any athletic center who has fast feet, such as Siakam, Sengun, Jokic, Wembenyama... late 1st round pick.
Greg Ostertag. He’d look good on the Warriors as a bigger version of Kevon Looney but he needs to get that weight down to last the marathon of the NBA season.
Him, TJD, JK, Green, Wiggins in a frontcourt👀
Welcome to the Houston Rockets

Good luck to this young man, but 57% from the stripe and 30% from deep doesn't seem like it will work right now in the NBA. Hope he proves me wrong. He might. I hope so. I like him.
Next Alex Len
Pretty sad draft class when Timofey Mozgov is the potential #1 pick
He looks like Tommy Winkler😂😂😂
Surely hes going to be the first pick
A lot of his blocks were fouls. On some of those plays, all he needed to so was keep his arms up and make them shoot over him. He will be in foul trouble often.
He will make a good centre. That is all. He does not have what it takes to be an elite centre in the mould of Porzingis or Jokic.
Looks like a fairly pedestrian big. In an average draft, I'd see someone taking a flyer on him in the mid-teens. However this draft is below average.
I can see him playing for Denver.
With what pick
How? Denver trading a valuable player for a 1st rd pick?
Joinin' Italy?
I want OKC to trade up for him
Marc gasol combine with phil jackson as a player 😅
