    As much as this comment will cause me attacks, I don’t think Clingan has the best hands. I haven’t seen it yet

    Snatching an offensive round against two 7-footers doesn't do it for you? Then nothing will.

    I think you'll find (in time) that third point is where the comparison falls flat. Clingan may not be asked to do much more than dunk early in his career, but he has good fundamentals and touch.

    Also, I would consider Clingan more of a plodder than Pryz, but their net effect might be similar because Clingan's anticipation is so good, he makes up for being slower. Partly, I think it's just how long his limbs are, making him appear slower than he really is. Watch him get up and down the floor, and he's really pretty quick for his size. (Was Pryz really even a plodder? I feel like his athleticism is what made up for his lack of skill.)

    He definitely isn’t a plodding as Joel “I have two left feet”

    He has shown he can at least knock down a 3…and if he keeps working on it hopefully he becomes a decent 3 point shooter, but we need a bigger sample size.

    He is a better passer and has better court vision.

    That’s a few things right there.

    You may think your posts are “hilarious “ but I think they’re “mediocre”

    Btw I’m not being 100% serious, half joking and having some fun.

    All of your points are valid except the plodding part.

    I would think if one was to fuck Hilary, that would garner some respect

    Agreed, he is a bit fumbly. But at the same time he's a great rebounder, so...?

    I agree also that he seems a bit "heavy footed" - him running is not an elegant sight. Reminds me a bit of Khryapa in that respect.

    He kind of runs like Jokic, with arms and legs flailing about all akimbo.
