Danny CunninghamHOST
... you know, I think you could love to maybe talk yourself into Stephon Castle, but again-
SwipaHOST
Could I talk you into Donovan Clingan if he played enough minutes?
Danny CunninghamHOST
Um, I don't think so.
SwipaHOST
That's a, that's like a super deep cut.
Josh LloydHOST
And to me, that makes it pretty easy to, to get above that number.
Josh LloydHOST
And then, while I'm not a Donovan Clingan guy like other people are in terms of where they're valuing him, his ADP is 100.
Josh LloydHOST
Um, should easily be top 70, e- easily.
Josh LloydHOST
That's not, not a question to me.
Alex SpeersHOST
Um, okay, that brings us to Portland.
Alex SpeersHOST
11 eligible, Ja Morant, Jrue Holiday, Shaden Sharp, Tamani Camara, Tim Lord, Scoot, Dame, Deni, Donovan Clingan, Hanson Yong, Yong Hanson, Vit Krejci.
Michele BerraHOST
Okay, this will probably be the first bad Michele moment of these, um, of this show.
Michele BerraHOST
Um, I protected Clingan as first name.
Josh LloydHOST
Some more Yahoo top 50 busts.
Josh LloydHOST
I don't think that many people would be surprised for me to tell you that I've got Donovan Clingan as a bust.
Josh LloydHOST
He's also come down a little bit from where he was.
Josh LloydHOST
He ranks now 39 with an ADP of 41.
28 MINS LATER
Josh LloydHOST
You know who's at 50? Austin Reaves.
Josh LloydHOST
So yeah, I'm just gonna go ahead and say no on that one.
Josh LloydHOST
Um, I'm also gonna go ahead and tell you that Donovan Clingan at 43 is pretty rough.
Josh LloydHOST
And I'm also gonna go ahead and tell you that why would I want anything to do with Walker Kessler at 43 either? [upbeat music] Now, the ADP for Kessler is at 80.
Connor BergenHOST
The 7'2 big man remains elite at rim protection and offensive rebounding, but he also improved his limited offensive game by adding a viable three-point shot.
Connor BergenHOST
Klingon's challenge will be translating his regular season success into the matchup-specific world of the playoffs.
Connor BergenHOST
Now, I wanted to briefly go over this with Klingon.
Connor BergenHOST
Quick hitter.
Brandon MullinHOST
I think they are hoping
5 MINS LATER
Brandon MullinHOST
Nurkic for a second was also not an A+, but a good rim protector.
Brandon MullinHOST
He was.
Brandon MullinHOST
I don't think he was even the physical deterrent that Donovan Klingon currently is because Donovan Klingon is simply larger.
Josh LloydHOST
He will drop, but not that far.
Josh LloydHOST
And while again, I am anti-devaluations that people put onto Donovan Clingan.
Josh LloydHOST
Not anti this evaluation where he sits at 109.
Josh LloydHOST
What, what world are we living in here? Because that is bonkers.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
He's at the same level as Jaden McDaniels and Giannis.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
He's bas- he's bas- uh, behind OG Anunoby, uh, Jaren Jackson Jr., Amen Thompson, ahead of Jalen Suggs, Ivica Zubac, and Donovan Clingan.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
Uh, no surprise, uh, Victor Wembanyama is the [laughs] very, very strong, uh, leader, odds leader heading into, uh, the season.
Andy KamenetzkyHOST
Negative payout odds.
DeAndreHOST
Y'all don't
speaker_3HOST
have Klingon at all on your list? I have Allen 11, Klingon 12, ED 13.
speaker_3HOST
Klingon's on my
DeAndreHOST
list.
DeAndreHOST
I wonder if you're forgetting
Tony EastHOST
Ryan, we close this up with two smaller yet still interesting transactions.
Tony EastHOST
I was going to do the opposite order of what I'm about to do, but the player most recently reported by Shams Charania, not in the transaction log yet, that actually could make their team sign this late into the season comes in Phoenix where Jawari, 30 years old but less experienced, had this renaissance season a few years ago with Portland before they got Clingan in the door and Robert Williams where he was shooting threes and like doing a decent job rim protecting.
Tony EastHOST
Going to the Phoenix Suns, which is of course of note because they lost to Mark Williams to a torn labrum and an offseason workout.
Tony EastHOST
He's going to be out for a long time, almost six months.
Dan BesbrisHOST
This is an opportunity to get a non-guard early, although it does swim upstream against what I've been preaching lately, which is basically you gotta get a big man before the end of the third round, and I don't like the big men going in the second round, so it's either Jokic and Wemby at the top of the first or someone in the third.
Dan BesbrisHOST
[laughs] Bam Adebayo, Donovan Clingan, Jaylen Duren, those guys are all floating around in there.
Dan BesbrisHOST
A couple others that I'm forgetting I'm sure.
Dan BesbrisHOST
Which does make it a little harder to justify a Trey Murphy draft pick when you need to be getting a big, but he's dang good and I wouldn't kill you for it.
