Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 4503377, member: 1414"] I mean, Xavier does. Freemantle is as tall as Sanogo, or taller. Sanogo is 6'9". I don't think it's the answer because the problem is something deeper, but a few minutes a game wouldn't hurt. I see so many divergent views here, it is kind of wild. [LIST] [*]No PG! Yeah, because the offense is designed to have multiple facilitators and no true PG, just like say, the Boston Celtics. The onus is on people making themselves available for passes with motion and cuts, something they did and then stopped doiing. [*]Pace is bad! Yeah, that tends to happen when the other team makes layups. Pace comes from rebounding misses, especially jump shots. Unfortunately, pulling our bigs away from the rim encourages layups and hurts rebounding. [*]Sanogo can't defend the rim! Yes, the BE preseason player of the year that averaged 2 blocks a game last year despite high hedge defense suddenly forgot how to defend the rim. He's not Thabeet, but he can defend the paint. [/LIST] The one thing I don't see, and I think we should consider, is that Jackson can be dynamic at times, but ultimately, he isn't generating offense and is a turnover machine. We need his rebounding, but we probably need to reduce his touches on offense. Let him focus on defense and rebounding, because we desperately need Dennis Rodman. I think we might find that Newton and Alleyne play better if we do that. In short, minimize Jackson in half court. I'm fine with him in transition. [/QUOTE]
