The No. 7 draft pick weighs in on his first Summer League prep.
The Portland Trail Blazers' one and only rookie draft pick this season, former two-time University of Connecticut Huskies NCAA champion center Donovan Mitchell, reflected on his first pre-Summer League practice this season over the weekend, per“It was fun to get out and battle again. I think the last time I went live was the national title game,” Clingan said.
How head coach Chauncey Billups will dole out his center minutes remains to be seen. Perhaps more pertinent, however, is the question of whether all the current fives rostered will still be on the team later. Right now, Deandre Ayton is the presumed starter, while Clingan is presumably expected to compete for time against veteran Robert Williams III and last year's surprising center find, Duop Reath.
