Mark Donnal was Clemson’s steady, high-efficiency frontcourt glue guy
In the 2017-18 season, Mark Donnal gave Clemson a reliable 6-foot-9, 232-pound graduate-transfer big who played physical, finished efficiently, and stretched the floor with a respectable three-point touch. He appeared in 34 games, shot 52.3% from the field and 73.7% from the line, and averaged 3.7 points and 1.6 rebounds in limited minutes—numbers that don’t fully capture his value as a seasoned, low-drama post presence. Coaches and coverage highlighted him as a strong, experienced, physical big, making him a fit for teams needing maturity, spacing, and dependable depth.
