He was signed with the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers and Philadelphia 76ers; however, he has never played a game for either team. He was injured as a member of the 76ers, and was waived by the Blazers. He is 6 ft 7 in tall and he weighs 118 kg (260 pounds) and he plays at the position of forward-center.
His father, Sam Clancy Sr., played basketball at University of Pittsburgh, and went on to play defensive end in the NFL for Seattle Seahawks, Cleveland Browns and Indianapolis Colts. Sam Jr. was born while Sam Sr. was still at Pitt. During his stint with the Browns, Sam Sr. kept a home in the western Cleveland suburb of Strongsville, OH.
Accordingly, the young Clancy attended St. Edward High School, located in nearby Lakewood, Ohio. He starred alongside Steve Logan, leading St. Edward to the 1998 Ohio High School Athletic Association State "big school" basketball championship during their senior year. He graduated in 1998. In 2009, St. Edward named Clancy to the school's Athletic Hall of Fame.
Clancy attended University of Southern California, majoring in sociology, and played basketball for the Trojans. After the 2001 season, he declared for the 2001 NBA draft. However, he never signed with an agent and withdrew his name from consideration prior to the draft.
