Agreed. I’d try them with Newton, Hawkins, and Joey C.End of story. I’ve seen enough.

Nah. But it's getting closer to a consistent 25-15 minute split. Keep both of them fresh and just never let the opponent rest.
And, if Sanogo is having a bad game and Clingan is rolling, I have no problem with using Sanogo to back up Clingan.
There are going to be a lot of games where that means Sanogo is guarding a stretch four on the perimeter and that is not what we need. I like it as a matchup-based option but it’s not something we need a lot of.There will be games where it is needed, like against Oregon. But mostly I like how Hurley has things set up.
I like that teams have to deal with Sanogo and double team him the whole time and then they have a whole other giant problem to deal with when Clingan comes in but if it means Clingan only averages 15 minutes per game this year I don't think I like it.There’s quite literally no reason to fix something that isn’t broken. I love both Sanogo and Clingan, but they’re more effective as the only center. This is how we shoulda played Sanogo and Whaley too.
I think the return of Samson opens up that possibility but for now id say no. It puts too much pressure on other teams. Sanogo is a load to deal with then he sits and now you have to deal with a 7 footer whos a another load to deal with.End of story. I’ve seen enough.

Maybe some recent bias going on here. Sanogo has been our most dominant player so far this season and basically snatched Alabama’s will to live.Sanogo has nowhere the same impact on the game. Sonogo is a gamer that can play at a high level like other talented high level players. Clingan is uniquely equipped. He changes other players’ decisions and shots, cleans the glass and impacts the entire game flow. Clingan needs a little work not getting sucked out from the rim and getting low block picked to create separation for their 5.
No disrespect to Sonogo. He just can’t grow 7-2 and impact the game flow the same way. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t impact outcome.Maybe some recent bias going on here. Sanogo has been our most dominant player so far this season and basically snatched Alabama’s will to live.
If it gets to UConn v Duke in NCAAs, it'll be fun having DC/AS vs Filipowski, Young & Lively.There will be games where it is needed, like against Oregon. But mostly I like how Hurley has things set up.
We have a top 10 offense and defense so far playing the way we have with these guys splitting the center spot, and people wanna mess with it without even explaining what area would improve enough to take the risk.Both are more effective when they are in there because we play 4 shooters in plus them. Playing both together drags an extra defender in that can help on the other.
We get enough offensive rebounds just having one in the game at a time.
