In last summer’s Draft, the Portland Trail Blazers they chose him at number 7 Donovan Klingana tall of the UConn which was decisive in his two successive conquests NCAA from his team.
Nicknamed ‘Cling Kong’, the 20-year-old center has already started to show his formidable potential in the rebound and his rim protection. In fact, his impressive numbers in these categories, combined with the not-so-great in scoring, are reminiscent of his early years… Dennis Rodman.
After 17 matches this season, the Klingan has already made 37 blocks, averaging 2.2. In fact, he has blocked an opponent’s shot in all the games he has played, with this streak being the longest in the history of Blazers and fourth-most all-time for rookie players in the league!
At the same time, the 20-year-old counts 6.7 rebounds averagea number that is not impressive at first glance, but it is very high considering that he is a bench player and plays about 17 minutes on average. In the last 5 matches, where DeAndre Ayton he is injured and has taken a key role, his average is 11 rebounds per game, culminating in his scoreless 19 against the Rockets!
