Perhaps because he’s playing in the Pacific Northwest for a .500 team (might as well be Skull Island), but there’s been a notable lack of chatter about just how good Donovan Clingan has been this year. And I was excited to look into it, because there’s nothing I love more than confirming my priors . Let’s start from a bit of ‘first principles.'
