Clingan’s Rise as Blazers’ New Engine | Portland Trail Blazers News

from Portland Trail Blazers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Donovan Clingan is exploding onto the scene as Portland’s new cornerstone, averaging 12.1 points, 11.6 rebounds, and 1.7 blocks while shooting over 34% from three — a stunning leap from his college days. At just 22, he’s already a top rim protector with All-Defensive buzz, mirroring Brook Lopez’s evolution. But the real question? Can the Blazers’ offense thrive around him? His elite offensive rebounding is their best weapon — especially now that they’re playing analytically — but if shots aren’t falling, it all falls apart. The future hinges on balancing his three-point game with his glass dominance. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
