After the NCAA double, head to the NBA for Donovan Clingan !

But the time has come » he wrote in his letter titled “#32 Out,” to confirm that he would no longer wear number 32 at UConn, where his experience has “exceeded all his dreams and expectations”.
After an encouraging freshman season, the interior was able to confirm this season with 13 points, 7.4 rebounds on average per game. He also showed his best during March Madness, compiling 15.3 points, 8.3 rebounds and 3.2 blocks during the tournament, with 11 points and 5 rebounds in the final won against Purdue.

Valuable in attack, he was the defensive base of the Dan Hurley system, as evidenced by his career record of 8 blocks during the second round against Northwestern, Donovan Clingan totaled 19 blocks over the entire tournament, the most best total since 2016.
Donovan Clingan was finally the only NCAA player, along with Purdue's Zach Edey, to record 400 points, 50 assists and 80 blocks on the season. Just like Alexandre Sarr, who also declared on Friday, Clingan is expected very high in the Draft.
