This is literally on Saturday from his first game. But I see you starting to come around. Didn't take long.
You're prematurely calling him a journeyman center (which has a negative connotation) as a fact. You can quibble with the wording, but you're still quite negative on him without him even having played a single game.
He’s played 3 games. He is great going up vertically. He has a very good basketball IQ. Seems to be a good passer and screener. However, he is extremely slow footed. He has no touch and average at best hands. He will improve, but he is what he is
yeah Dale Davis Theo Ratliff Przybilla Marcus Camby Robin Lopez Mason Plumlee Nurkic Whiteside Ayton it's not a listing of all-NBA bigs but there are some pretty decent C's in that list, and 3 SL games for Clingan doesn't prove much of anything yet. Kind of like to see him actually matched up with guys like Jokic, AD, Gobert/KAT, Sabonis, Wemby, Zubac, Jaren Jackson, Embiid, Jarett Allen, Sengun, & Adebayo rather than some SL stiffs before I'd call him the best Blazer C over the last 22-23 years
thank you guys for proving my point. I mean we can wait til he actually gets out there, I’m just stating the obvious.
what is obvious? you didn't say he has the potential to be the best C since Sabas, you said he already is
I must say, I enjoy your optimism, and if you haven't interacted with @KingSpeed yet, I'm sure you two would get along great.
It means while he will improve, he’s always going to be a bit slow footed and never have great hands. Will most likely never be an offensive juggernaut
