Donovan Clingan Makes NBA All-Rookie Second Team

The Trail Blazers have gotten their first and, so far, only postseason individual accolade for last season, as the NBA announced that Donovan Clingan was voted second team All-Rookie.

Six voters put Clingan on the first team, and 61 put him on second team, for a total of 73 voting points.

Clingan, the No. 7 overall pick in last year's draft, had a solid rookie season, starting 37 games for the Blazers and proving impactful right away as a defender and rim protector.

Here are the full teams:

All-Rookie First Team:

  • Stephon Castle (San Antonio Spurs)
  • Zach Edey (Memphis Grizzlies)
  • Zaccharie Risacher (Atlanta Hawks)
  • Alexandre Sarr (Washington Wizards)
  • Jaylen Wells (Memphis Grizzlies)

All-Rookie Second Team:

  • Matas Buzelis (Chicago Bulls)
  • Bub Carrington (Washington Wizards)
  • Donovan Clingan (Portland Trail Blazers)
  • Yves Missi (New Orleans Pelicans)
  • Kel'el Ware (Miami Heat)

The NBA is expected to announce its All-Defensive teams in the near future, and there is a solid chance Toumani Camara will be at least on the bubble of making one of the teams.
