"Somehow available in more than 30% of ESPN standard leagues, Clingan has averaged 12.4 PPG and 13 RPG in January, attempting 9.5 field goals per game, and even with awesome SF/PF Deni Avdija (back) playing, Clingan continues to thrive. Really, the only reason he isn't shooting 60% from the field is because he wants to attempt 3-pointers. It went well in December when he hit 52.2% of them. January has been a struggle, though, at 25.0%."
"Regardless, Clingan is a stable center still learning how and when to shoot a basketball from more than a few feet away from the basket, and while he piles on rebounds (he had 20 of them on Tuesday!), he can be a bigger force blocking shots. He blocked five Boston Celtics shots two games ago. It's all coming. Clingan went two picks ahead of current Memphis Grizzlies C Zach Edey in the 2024 draft."
Clingan, 21, is enjoying a second NBA season, averaging 11.3 PPG and 11.2 RPG over 27.5 MPG and showing notable upside. He is available in more than 30% of ESPN standard leagues. Clingan averaged 12.4 PPG and 13 RPG in January while attempting 9.5 field goals per game and thrives even with SF/PF Deni Avdija (back) playing. He attempted three-pointers, hitting 52.2% in December but 25.0% in January. Clingan piles on rebounds—he had 20 on Tuesday—and can improve as a shot blocker, after five blocks versus Boston. With Sabonis and Jokic limited, the rebounding race is open among Towns, Gobert, Clingan, Zubac, and Jalen Duren.
