We used to have Joel “Vanilla Gorilla” Przybilla on the team, now another white guy nicknamed “Cling Cong”… I seem to be picking up a pattern here
So excited to watch this kid do great things in this league.
So, you’re saying toumani is Josh hart with size?
Worf-Klingon
Love that there are highlights during the pod
He brings much more to the team than 7'3" and basketball skills.
"Cling Kong?" No.
Sounds like something you don't want to find in a kids diaper.
Clingan, college champ, and also Deni, bring the team most of all loads of positive energies.
Kid's a real gem, already a better rim protector than many veterans in the league. Let's not rush things and expect too many great things too early. Let the kid grow, he'll deliver.
