You do not get a true feel for how big Donovan Clingan is until you stand in his vicinity. It is at that point you get the full understanding of what 7-foot-2, 280 pounds with a 7-foot-7 wing span truly looks like.

Big. Has long arms and just a hulking frame. Great hands with touch over both shoulders. Can score with back to the basket. Good pace, good patience on the block. A great passer from multiple spots in the half-court can run some actions through him. A good shot blocker with natural timing, both hands. The athleticism and lack of pop are the questions. Can he get caught defensively out on an island? Can pick and pop out to 18-feet. A good rebounder in his area. Productive. Competes.
