[Highlight] Donovan Clingan silences the crowd with a triple, and then crushes a big dunk
Best draft pick that we’ve made since Dame.
I don’t know why his name keeps being glossed over for team USA in the 2028 Olympics. This is who brings size for our bigs where we lack size the most.
I think either him or Kessler will be on the team, there’s no other true big man and you’ll need opne.
Clingan/Duren/Bam is imo the best big man rotation USA could bring (unless Cam Boozer becomes star level)
Edit: Chet over Bam
He should be in contention. Proven winner at college system and fit into what team USA need.
Yeah, in the international game there are true giants everywhere. It’ll be nice to have one of our own
Its either him , Chet or Kessler as the bigman in the olympics
Bam is going to be old and I dont think Boozer is going to be selected just yet
Better than Shaedon? You think he’s better than a healthy scoot?
Absolutely better than both those guys.
Interesting 🤔.
Shae is genuinely my favorite player right now, and I still fully believe in Scoot, but it’s hard to overstate the value of a truly dominant center in this league (especially one that can shoot threes). It makes me incredibly excited to think about what his game will look like with a few more years of seasoning.
IQ too. Him and castle were taught the game right. Surprising shaedon is averaging 21. He’s good. But I still feel like scoot is better than sharpe. Or at least their potential peaks cuz I feel like scoot has true floor general in him. But those 3. Plus Deni is a nice foundation
So theres this guy named Toumani Camara…
Him too. But I feel like they need a super scorer to compete. He’d be out the starting lineup if they could get one. But yeah he’s the real deal fr. Idk if this team has enough scoring tho. If Deni becomes a superstar then it’ll be enough
Toumani is not leaving the starting lineup. Even if we sign Jordan reincarnate I doubt he would come off the bench. Deni, Toumani, and Clingan are really the big foundational pieces. Scoot and Sharpe have all the tools to be, but neither has fully established themselves as a consistent performer. Largely due to injury spells unfortunately.
If they get a 2 drop sharpe. If it’s a 3 drop carmara. But I think this team is what it is. They’re not getting free agents. And they can’t trade for a superstar. All they can hope for is internal improvement. And Dame can still ball
Donovan is so much more impactful than Scoot. Shae its debatable.
That could change, theyre all so young still
More consistent than both of them so far. But all of them are very early in their careers still.
I think Shaedon and Scoot both have high potential and are capable of some really entertaining stuff. But it feels like even if the shot isn’t falling for DC he is gonna be a lock for 10 boards regardless. His impact on the boards paired with his rim protection is vital to the team. Dropping 10-20 points is a really nice bonus on top.
Yeah he’s really good. If the shot becomes consistent. And scoot can feed him the ball correctly. He’s gonna be one of the best big in the game. Portland has an underrated core
If Scoot doesn’t cut his turnover numbers drastically down he’s gonna be stuck coming off the bench. A starting PG can’t be averaging a 3:2 assist to turnover ratio.
He’s just coming back from injury. He hasn’t had a lot of play time to develop cuz of injuries and and billups. Watching him play. You can tell he has the play making instinct. With his speed too. He’s gonna be really good if he can stay o the floor
He’s had turnover issues his entire career, it’s not just since he came back.
Young pg have those issues. Garland used to be horrible. Then he became one of the best pg in the league. Garland playmaking mind was always there. It’s just getting use to the game. Scoot has the same playmaking feel
Scoot also has terrible shooting efficiency, he needs to work on his shot. Turnovers and can’t shoot is a brutal combination.
Yes easily
We picked them earlier so that factors in
True. Only 2nd year for him
Way way way better.
He legit might already be the best 5 blazers have had in two decades
Easily
He’s averaging a double-double in year 2 and has come back this season with a three ball. We might be looking at a star.
Hornets are a top 4 seed this year if they draft Clingan instead of Saluan
CLING KONG
This dude is gonna have a long ass career.
Dont jinx it lol
Is he who the blazers thought Zach Collins would be?
Not really. We wanted Zach to be a great offensive player with decent defense, DC is a great defensive player that’s turning out to have good offense.
I don’t know what type of drugs Neil Olshey was on for trading 2 first round picks to move up to get him lol
You don’t understand, he passed behind his back once
UCONN
Plz stay healthy 🙏
I fuck with this dude
On the day before his birthday too. Prepare for the west to be even more stacked if he continues this double-double monster stretch 5 path.
OMFG!
BEAST
When Clingan is happy, we are happy
Kids gonna be in the league a looong time
My love for DC is too high.
suns up, suns down ☹️
sunrise, sunset
So.much.potential.
“Silences the crowd”
Crowd clearly gets loud as a reaction to the shot.
As someone that’s go no team anymore, I just want to watch the Blazers dominate.
Can’t wait for the year 3 jump. A simple jump hook will make him unstoppable.
