Among the center's I want Clingan the most(outside of Sarr). You want an eraser behind Trae? Clingan does that well. Need size to handle the bigger, stronger 5's in the league? Clingan has that.
He's got some mobility and touch around the rim to boot. An underrated facet of his game, is his IQ and ability to post and repost. He's got a good feel for the game as a passer too that nobody talks much about. He'll never be a force on offense, but he's got the complimentary game you can utilize with Trae. I think he's got a lot of room as a shooter. He'll obviously need to improve here, but I wouldn't overlook him just because he isn't an elite, 40% threat. We could really use a Walker Kessler type of big.
I expect Filipowski to have a long career in the league. I can see us benefiting from him but I believe we'll eventually need ta star center. Unless, Jaken becomes a superstar, and all time great. Otherwise, without a star big man, I don't think we'll have much success for a very long time.
