Donovan Clingan

At No. 10, Donovan Clingan is already being valued as a franchise-level dynasty asset. But the 2026–27 case really turns on something more specific: the cleanest path to a jump is simply being on the floor more: DynastyAI projects 31.8 minutes after 27.2 last season. A 4.6-minute increase does not sound like a revolution until you remember that fantasy points are difficult to score from the bench. That leaves his No. 10 ranking in an interesting middle ground: valuable enough that managers cannot buy him for free, but not so expensive that the market has already priced in every good outcome. The season is basically asking one question: what happens when a young player gets more possessions and somebody finally stops checking the clock every time he makes a mistake?

DynastyAI projects Donovan Clingan to move from 23.7 to 27.6 fantasy points per game, a gain of 3.9. His minutes projection moves by +4.6 per game, and his Opportunity score is 64.0. Those are meaningful changes for a player ranked No. 10, because even a partial realization of the projection could force the dynasty market to reprice him.
