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.
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.
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.
Hmm a great Blazers big man drafted high with loads of potential? Sounds like Sam Bowie or Greg Oden or Bill Walton haha let's hope not though! This guy has amazing potential!
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.

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
There was a pre-draft rumor that the Hawks were thinking about Clingan with the #1 overall pick, and they made a mistake by not doing that imo
Had the chance to be the best college player of all time … glad he’s at a great organization
good minimum expectation for top 14 picks is to an NBA AllStar. Anything Less is BUST
💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥👍👍🙏
My thoughts: pass him the ROCK

Uconn nation knew this already.
Please dear GOD let this man stay healthy and avoid the curse of previously broken Blazer Centers!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Would be fun to see the Blazers put a huge lineup out there of Simons,Grant,Deni,Ayton,Clingan
Rip City!!

I was struck by Jamal Crawford's summer league description of Clingan as "a winning player". I'm beginning to see what he meant.
COOPER FLAGG AND ITS OVER!!!!! Even without him shit looks good in Portland babyyyyyyyy
Bruhh I was so devastated when they mop the floor on the jazz. But yeah he was a menace to the court
Rookie of the year here
I yelled at my TV when my Pistons selected Ron Holland with this kid still on the board.
Are we not gonna talk about that old timey run he does with his arms? 😅
