However impressive last winter’s meteoric rise was, Clowney is confident he can make even more strides this winter as a Nets rookie.
to the Pistons — got to keep valuable assets, and still got one of their primary targets.
He also joins the latter pair in hailing from the Carolinas — Sharpe from Greenville, N.C., and Claxton from Greenville, S.C., just 30 miles from Clowney’s Dorman High School alma mater.Corey Sipkin for the NY Post “So as far as the draft goes, it was surreal. And I know a lot of people probably say that same word, but I saw all the cameras coming so I knew it was me, and then they actually called my name. It’s just an unreal feeling. It was great.”
Clowney’s wingspan is a reported 7-foot-3, to be precise. Clowney fits the profile of a modern big man, switchable and comfortable on the perimeter, with a jumper and floor-spacing potential. Clowney readily acknowledges that need to bulk up. This past season, he was listed at 210 pounds, stretched over a wiry 6-foot-10 frame. A dozen pounds would be a solid start, but he’ll need more if he’s going to bang in the post with All-Star centers the likes of Nikola Jokic and Joel Embiid.“I know my capabilities and I know I can listen, so when they tried to change my jump shot in high school I knew I could change my form and I could become a good shooter,” Clowney said.
“That was the main thing. If I can make shots, make open shots, even semi-contested shots, now [I’ll] open up the rest of my game. I can do a lot more, because now you’ve got to really close out. You’re not closing out short [any] more. When you close out fully, now I get to drive downhill, make decisions. So there’s a lot more that can be shown when I’m more of a consistent shooter.
