Le Saviez-vous ?
Clingan is one of very few players in the modern era to win back-to-back NCAA championships before being selected in the NBA lottery
At 7'2' and 280 pounds, he is the biggest player on the 2024-25 Portland roster and one of the largest true centers in the NBA
He grew up just 20 miles from the UConn campus in Storrs, Connecticut, making his college decision a celebrated homecoming for the state
His shot-blocking timing is so precise that coaches describe it as innate — reading a shooter's release point and rejecting without fouling is one of the rarest skills in basketball
