UConn’s Donovan Clingan compared to Ivica Zubac and Walker Kessler
“Clingan can potentially be a player like Ivica Zubac where if he puts on a lot of strength and muscle, it’ll be hard to score at the rim on him,” another NBA executive told HoopsHype. “You see a little bit of it with Walker Kessler, who’s a more athletic specimen. Clingan can still be somewhat of a lob threat and put pressure on the rim. There’s stuff there with him on both ends that can be impactful. He moves relatively well going north to south. If he puts a hand out there on defense, I think you can switch him out there if there’s five seconds left on the clock. I would more likely play him in a drop defensive coverage. I wouldn’t classify him as a stiff out there.”

More on this storyline
Tomer Azarly: Clippers fall to the Wolves, 118-100. Paul George: 22 pts, 3 rebs, 3 asts James Harden: 12 pts, 7 asts, 2 stls Norman Powell: 11 pts, 4 rebs, 2 asts Ivica Zubac: 10 pts, 8 rebs Anthony Edwards: 37 pts, 8 Rebs, 4 asts Nickel Alexander-Walker: 28 pts, 3 Rebs Mike Conley: 23 pts -via Twitter / March 13, 2024
It took a 14-point deficit in the third quarter for the Clippers to break free from their slumber. When they did, center Ivica Zubac was at the center of the wake-up call and that led to sixth-man Norman Powell providing some energy early in the fourth that helped spur the Clippers to a 112-102 win over the Bulls at Crypto.com Arena. -via Los Angeles Times / March 9, 2024
Ohm Youngmisuk: Clippers trailed 50-30 in second quarter but outscore Houston 92-66 rest of way. Ty Lue replaced Ivica Zubac with Mason Plumlee in second half and Kawhi Leonard scored 16 of his 28 and PG had 19 points after half. Clips could’ve gone 3-0 on trip if not for Milwaukee collapse. -via Twitter @NotoriousOHM / March 6, 2024
Andy Larsen: Walker Kessler has been upgraded from questionable to available for tonight’s game. -via Twitter @andyblarsen / March 9, 2024
Andy Larsen: Walker Kessler is questionable for tomorrow’s game vs Denver, Keyonte George is not on the injury report and should be available. -via Twitter @andyblarsen / March 8, 2024
Andy Larsen: Jazz say Lauri Markkanen, Walker Kessler, and Tayler Hendricks are all out tomorrow vs. Chicago. Keyonte George is questionable due to his illness. -via Twitter @andyblarsen / March 5, 2024
