Connecticut center Donovan Clingan stands to solidify his NBA standing in the NCAA Tournament’s Final Four, set to tip off in Phoenix on Saturday night.
A win on Saturday against Alabama could serve to show NBA front offices how Clingan, a 7-foot-2 behemoth, can handle defending a Crimson Tide team that can be described as trigger-happy from 3-point land.
Following that up with a win on Monday in the championship potentially against Purdue could showcase Clingan’s ability to defend Purdue’s Zach Edey, a back-to-back National Player of the Year and behemoth of a potential lottery pick in his own right.
