Portland Trail Blazers 2024 #7 pick Donovan Clingan is looking forward to coming in the NBA with a team first mindset.
(via Portland Trail Blazers):
Brooke Olzendam: “It’s safe to say that winning is your middle name. Your junior year, didn’t lose a game in high school. Senior year, you won the state title. Go on to back-to-back championships at UConn. How can you use your winning mentality here in the NBA and for the Portland Trail Blazers?”
Clingan: “Just always giving everything I have and always finding what it takes to win. That’s something about me is I don’t care about the stats, I don’t care about all the accomplishments individually. I care about the team and all the recognition the team gets, because that’s how you win championships. You win championships as a team, not as a single player, and I just want to come in and learn every day, be a great teammate, be a great player that Coach [Billups] wants to coach every day. I’m excited to get to work.”
