Odd tone here. I did see them out there. Looked fine, nothing really notable. Samson and Clingan are two different skill sets but in a lot of ways not really. Are we comfortable with Samson shooting from 12+ and out? Would you rather have had Sanogo shooting a three last year or Samson shooting one this year? If anything, our spacing would be worse offensively this year as I think Sanogo had the more well rounded offensive game with a better jump shot. Clingan has much the same game as last year.It would be foolish to play two back to the basket posts together. Clingan and Sanogo are both traditional back to the basket players. They will not coexist. Samson is not a back to the basket player. The logic used last year doesn't apply to this year. Clingan/Sanogo and Clingan/Samson are two different skill sets. This is not last years team and Dan Hurley will coach these players differently than last year. I do believe I saw both players on the court at the same time against Indiana. Did you?
What's the upside of the playing them together if the spacing on offense is worse/we lose a shooter and on defense we have Samson - who has trouble with fouls (and no real third string center) and moving laterally - guarding quicker guys?
