Message: [QUOTE="CTFAN4LIFE, post: 4211094, member: 3328"] A professional scout is not going to care about stats. All they care about is skills (as well as other factors like potential, teamwork, etc.). So, even though a guy can lead his team in a category (i.e. rebounds) it does not necessarily translate to a scout concluding that he is great in that skill area. There have been plenty of college players with excellent stats that just can't translate it to the next level. I personally think Sanogo has a chance to become a great rebounder at the college level but it may not translate to being even an above average rebounder at the pro level; where he is going to be average in terms of physical attributes. He needs to become more active and explosive in terms of second and third hops to secure rebounds. I think now he sort of feasts off of rebounds that he gets on the first and only rebound of the possession - and you can say that is because of his ability to get himself in a position to get rebounds but I think that in the NBA that would become less of a strength of his as the opposition players get bigger and faster/quicker. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
