Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4584916, member: 1414"] Because drop does nothing to disrupt the offense and ball handlers. Sanogo was incredibly effective on defense yesterday, disrupting things outside and getting back to guard the big. It didn't cost us baskets but really bothered St. Mary's. He also had a nice block at the rim. One of the more absurd things I constantly see on this board is people blaming the center when guards or wings score at the rim. Even Clingan gives up hoops in that scenario or fouls much of the time. He alters and blocks more shots than Sanogo, sure, but there are trade-offs to that defense. I'm much less worried about what the centers do than everyone else performing their roles. Both Alex and Andre did a great job sliding over when Adama was outside disrupting. It's when that fails that we give up easy baskets. [/QUOTE]
