The UCONN center would make a great fit as the new center for the Memphis Grizzlies
For a long time now, I've been against the concept of trading up in the 2024 NBA Draft, as I simply don't think it's worth it. So many players are within spitting distance of each other, to the point where relinquishing additional assets to get a comparable guy seems wasteful.
What I am doing is underlining just how good of an idea this would be for the Grizzlies - and only the Grizzlies - as they're one rock-solid center away from potentially being an outright title contender. But the man is an excruciatingly poor rebounder, who managed just 5.5 this season in over 32 minutes per game.
I'll counter with Jayson Tatum, who in the playoffs had to step up and become a near 10-rebound guy to put Boston in the best place imaginable. Individual rebounding still has merit. By the 2025-2026 season, Clingan's second in the NBA, the team might even take a collective leap due to the shared improvements of the main core.That's where things hit a snag. Because in order to trade up, it helps to know where exactly Clingan is going, and, uh, well... Nobody knows!
Even if Clingan falls to just the third overall, the cost of acquisition is likely to be less. But with the Rockets wishing to - *deep sigh* - accelerate further way too prematurely, odds are they too want an established player.
