, the Pistons worked out Donovan Clingan at some point during the pre-draft process. The UConn standout is widely expected to go top ten. Lately, Clingan’s ceiling has been revealed to be as high as No. 1, according to several reports. If the Atlanta Hawks took a chance on Clingan with the top pick, it would certainly shake up the draft. For months, it’s been speculated that Alex Sarr would come off the board right away, no matter who has the pick.
