Would he post that if he read the "Clingan" thread?Wait until he reads our message boards
I'd hope athletes read very little of whats out on social media/message boards/etc about themselves... can't imagine that would be helpful.Wait until he reads our message boards
Sleeping on this, i might feel better about this pick were it not for his injuries.
I was excited until I saw this... Oh my god...
Good to see. Yeah I don't see a a limited minute backup 20 year old being threatening to Ayton at all as so many have mentioned.Just saw this.

Don’t tell that to the NBA’s MVPI'm not a fan of the Clingan pick as even if he realizes his potential lumbering bigs don't have much value in today's NBA. Will have even less value in the next 10 years.
But there wasn't any prospect I was that fond of on the board so I'm not real upset over missing on any of them.
Would've much preferred to get the picks San Antonio got with their trade of #8, then not do the Avdija trade and take a rookie at #14.

Imagine having a negative review with knowledge it was a shitty draft.
The only people I hear anything negative about this pick from are people who spend countless hours talking about a sub par draft that pretty much everyone knew was going to produce a role player at pick #7. Clingan is exactly who he is. A decent back up caliber center that may eventually grow into a serviceable big that gives a team 20-30 mins a night depending on the situation and injury status of the team. Blazers have been incredibly small for years. They at least just got a bit bigger.
I'll make sure to send him an invite to join here. To actually read what people on here think about the game....HA! I've show players in the past posts about them on here....they just laugh!Wait until he reads our message boards
I think the term you were looking for was morons, not shifty.every team fans are nice until theyre not, fans are shifty in general

BPA bro. No question.nobody "knows" that. There may only role-players at 7 and later. Or there may be some all-stars. What many wanted was for Portland to swing for the fences and targeting Clingan sure doesn't seem like a home run swing
for myself and some others, you have described a probable ceiling for Clingan: "A decent back up caliber center that may eventually grow into a serviceable big". You forgot to add a C that will be locked into drop-coverage schemes when the NBA has found lots of ways to play those kinds of C's off the floor
as has been said here already, Portland invested A 7th pick in a backup to their most expensive player. The only way this pick makes much sense if there is a plan to move Ayton, and move him soon. The idea that Ayton can play a PF in the NBA is nonsense, IMO
BPA bro. No question.
Well pretty much everyone who had any involvement in the draft process said at the time that after the 6th pick and before the 7th pick that Clingan was the clear cut Best Player Available to the Portland Trailblazers. Now you can try to dispute that and throw as many smoke screens as you might want but the fact remains that he was widely considered the Best Player Available at that time.lol...c'mon man...BPA? how does anybody know who the BPA is in this draft?
I saw an old article with quotes from Ayton in college. He was happy to play PF at AZ.
I wonder if he still does? Not saying he should but maybe he wants to try.

Is there a possibility that someone picked after him could end up better? Sure. However that doesn’t diminish the fact that at the time of the pick Portland chose who was considered by MOST the BPA.
