Blazers rookie center Donovan Clingan was heavily disrespected in the latest NBA rookie rankings.
The Portland Trail Blazers rookie center Donovan Clingan has been making waves since he debuted for the team earlier this season. The former UConn Huskies product has shown tremendous skills on the defensive end of the floor, helping the Trail Blazers put it all together on the floor.
For the year, he has been averaging 5.8 points, 6.7 rebounds, 0.3 assists, 0.5 steals, and 2.2 blocks per game. His defensive presence has meant everything for the Trail Blazers so his absence on the list is a little shocking. Despite Clingan not appearing on the rookie ladder, he has played very well early on in his career. Unfortunately, Clingan will miss some time due to an injury that he suffered.that the rookie underwent imaging that revealed a grade 2 MCL sprain and that he would be evaluated in two weeks. This is a blow to the Trail Blazers but they want to be safe with their rookie.
