Huge asset to this team. And to think just a couple of days ago. A couple in here said he shouldn't see the court. I could not figure out that statement. I know who I would like to not see the court. That would be another thread.
Sonogo is going backwards in progression. Cannot hang on to the ball. his toss ups look terrible. Why is he always at the top of the key, ON OFFENSE!!
Whaley has had more than 1 fantastic day. Whaley sitting should not be a conversation.
At certain times he should. He actually should’ve been playing over Sanogo. Sanogo stunk it up today. We gonna have games where it won’t work. If we do play them both we gonna have to play kite zone. He was playing man against Chapain all night. That won’t work with us having a center guarding wings. It was freaking St. John’s. You see what happened when we actually play somebody good like Villanova.
Not just Sanogo needs to think about it but the folks that have allowed him to do it continually. Whaley does all the stuff other players don't want to and has the quickest hands for a big guy. He's not out there to provide instant offense or be a 3 pt threat. To think so many here don't want him to start - insane
Think Whaley should start. AS needs a wake-up call. When he plays up to capability we are better with him as starter and IW off the bench but, of the last 6 games AD has had only 1 good game and 5 subpar games. team needs him to be better.
Take out the Marquette game and AS has averaged 9.8 and 6.2 while IW has averaged 8.2 and 5.4
Starting is a strategy nothing more .
I wouldn't go as far as saying "going backwards in progression". He does need to get better at getting ball down low and assess when to pass back out. Imo the only way to do this is to pull him right out of the game and talk/teach him when this is done and put him back in a few minutes. Coach?
I can see that there's something glued onto the other side. I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's a squirrel.
Let's not make it out that Whaley is a great player. He was awful last game and I think had 2 rebounds for the game. I noticed he often has sub par rebound games. He is a good back up center on a good team. He also has regressed on defense. We will be better without him. I respect his loyalty to UConn but Whaley is an average player and I doubt scouting reports are saying we need to watch out for Whaley
Polley for Whaley would solve that problem.
You are high
This is just so unnecessary the day before senior day. Kid gave us 5 seasons(2 glued to the bench), settled into a lesser role his entire career, and came out of it a high end starter and CDPOY on a top 25 team. You’re a clown for this.
Damn right
