With the seventh pick in the 2024 NBA draft, the Portland Trail Blazers selected UConn big man Donovan Clingan to anchor their frontcourt.

Donovan Clingan scouting report
Clingan really improved his draft position as UConn won its second consecutive title. A strong big man with capable hands who is tough to defend in the low post; a worker on the glass, especially offensively and can operate in pick-and-rolls as the screener going to the basket. Has rim protecting skills. Playing away from the basket on both ends will be his challenge in the NBA. — Jeff Zillgitt

Across 35 games for the Huskies in the 2023-24 season, Clingan averaged 13.0 points per game (63.9% from the field) with 7.4 rebounds per game and 2.5 blocks per game.
