I genuinely can’t remember a season since Robin Lopez where we haven’t had to play at least 3 different centers due to injury
I pretty much consider us having 3 centers until we see that Rob can play 3 games in a row without needing to sit out.
Also Clingan doesn’t seem to have the stamina yet to play huge minutes so I see no issue with having a front court committee
Yeah, but the only reason is because Rob is hurt. I assume he’ll get shipped right after he starts to play again.
Ayton/Clingan/Reath is fine w me, considering Clingan has always been a low minutes guy and is heading into playing the most games he ever has by far.
I do still question the Clingan pick, to a degree. I was more of a “get one of the wings” type, but obviously Mike and Joe see more in Donovan than I did. He’s going to be dominant on defense IMO, but right now looks like basically not much on offense. Hopefully he’s eventually starter quality, because I don’t think giving Ayton the max makes*any* kind of sense for a team that wants to win.
125 words, one quote by a B/R reporter. Woof. I miss the old Blazers Edge.
we’ve had a center depth issue literally every season since before nurk was hurt. now we have a little depth and it’s an issue?
bored/annoyed fans will find something to fuss about.
