2025 NBA Draft Preview + Rookie Awards | Slam N Jam

He was completely absurd. I watched that game. He got wherever he wanted, whenever he wanted. Still an awesome shooter. Still has real ball skills in pick and roll. Thinks the game at a super high level. It's just that he's behind Fred Van Vliet and Jalen Green, and that's a hard spot to be for any young player. They're trying to win now, and they have a couple of really good guards.

You can't play him with Fred Van Vliet. It just doesn't work size-wise for what they want to be defensively. Fred plays 38 minutes a night or whatever, and it's... Rightfully so, by the way. It's just going to be tricky to try and manage that whole thing, I think.

So, you know, this one was hard for me. I went with Donovan Klingin, and it's not really like... scheme-based or anything like that. It's just that he's stuck behind DeAndre and Rob Williams a lot of games.

If both those guys are playing one night and the Blazers have done a good job, but the Blazers in general have had DeAndre get hurt for a minute and then Rob was hurt for 30 games this year or whatever, 25 games. They haven't had to

manage this issue a ton yet but when i watch clinging i'm like this this dude should be playing like 25 minutes a night immediately he's awesome like he is really really good and really capable of taking on like big big minutes i think you know immediately it's just that you know unfortunately he is stuck behind those two guys and part of the problem is for portland right now like i don't think there's a taker for eight and like that's going to be like really really tricky for them to figure out and then

on top of that like rob williams is in a funky spot too where he's played 12 games this year and you know like is he could really help a team but what team is going to actually give them value for rob williams not knowing if he can actually stay healthy in the playoffs so they're in a tough spot. I think Klingon's in a tough spot.

You know, I would hope that they're able to move one of those two bigs before the deadline and just really clear the way for Klingon.
