2024 NBA Draft

[SleepingHero]

I am trying to figure out why Clingan is in the top 10 of every single mock draft I have seen. I guess he is younger but he is just as bad or even worse when it comes to agility/mobility and skill wise he hasn't shown anything that stands out compared to Edey. Both score in the post. Both protect the rim. Wouldn't take either of them in the lottery. Maybe in the late first round.

I think its solely because he was the starting center for the most dominant team in college. 

But I don't understand it either. Clingan looks like he's stuck in quicksand and lurches at the ball. If he's forced to only play drop coverage I can't see him being an impact player. 


Edey I think is deserving of a lottery pick just because of how good he is at sealing other players down low. The way he shuffled from block to block, utilizing his size, was impressive to me. He also said he's working on a 3 ball and teams are going to be surprised. I think there's a better chance that Edey can have a couple of all-star years than Clingan making it in the league.
