Message: [QUOTE="Psolo12, post: 4393793, member: 9508"] My comment was absolutely not flat out wrong, I recently re-watched the game. You're cherry picking stats with no context. Sanogo pushed Kessler out of the paint with ease whenever he was in the game. Not all of those 2's were made when Sanogo was in the game/guarding Kessler. Agreed that Sanogo has had issues when there is a large size/athleticism discrepancy and I'm not saying his game is suited or ideal for the NBA. However, your initial comment simply stating he wouldn't be able to guard a 5 in the NBA is disingenuous as he has had success guarding high level college 5's (evidenced by Kessler and Watson). Would obviously have to take a big step on the defensive end but it is by no means impossible. His value becomes even higher with guys like PJ Tucker/Grant Williams being utilized as NBA 5's in smaller lineups. [/QUOTE]
