Clingan might have a legitimate shot at bringing home some hardware in the 2024-25 NBA season.
Last year, aside from a strong start from Chet Holmgren, San Antonio center Victor Wembanyama ran away with the Rookie of the Year Award. As was easily predicted by the pre-season odds.As has been the case with the 2024 NBA Draft several times now, there’s a general aura of murkiness. And that’s easily translatable to the 2024-25 Rookie of the Year Award.
But Portland’s Donovan Clingan may hold the most easily translatable skill in the class in his interior defense, which could pry open a real path toward Rookie of the Year. The Trail Blazers roster, and more specifically its frontcourt, is a bit crowded on contributors at the moment. But the franchise spending their top pick on Clingan almost certainly pencils him in for plenty of playing time this season.
