The drafting of Donovan Clingan prompted questions about how the Portland Trail Blazers handle their center rotation this season. The gargantuan UConn star enters the NBA with a heap of fanfare after playing key roles in the Huskies’ consecutive national championships.
But wins will be less frequent for Clingan as he joins the rebuilding Blazers, already complete with NBA-level centers Deandre Ayton, Robert Williams III and Duop Reath. Assuming all are healthy and General Manager Joe Cronin hasn’t got another trade in the offing, that’s four big men worthy of NBA minutes at the five.
