Providence Post Game Thoughts

Seen this the past 2 games - we've done a great job at finishing through contact. Think we had 6 and-1's tonight.

Sanogo had a rough game but he’s a freshman who’s been solid all year. His continued growth is a big part of our team.

He and Jackson both did freshman stuff. Lots of options, all coming along.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

He played great last game, but tonight his 5 of 13 shooting (that's only 38.5%, pretty poor) and his lack of looking at anyone when the clock was running down, seemed like he was a bit of a ball hog tonight. He did have 6 assists, I know, but it could easily have been 10.

You're not at all wrong, and neither are those who've praised him.

There's a lot of imperfection, and a lot to like, and a number of things improving, and still things to tighten up and always more work to do.

^ Applies throughout the team. We've even gotten into, "No, no, no, YES" territory sometimes, just can't rely on it.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

Yeah but he’s consistently bad on takes so give him that!

He's a mojo guy of a different stripe.

One fast-break in particular he had James wide open trailing on the right. Probably would have resulted in a monster slam for James if RJ dishes that one. All told though the dude is playing good to great the last few games.

yeah he just doesn’t have great court vision, especially when he’s driving to the hoop.

And he needs to kick instead of going to the hoop. 80% of the time he gets stuffed.

LOL got you brother

Sanogo had a terrible game tonight and -- despite what people said after the St. John's game -- isn't the sort of player you ride and force-feed the ball at this stage in his career. But you've gotta play him at least 20-25 mpg to get the experience necessary to dominate next year.

And even with the inconsistency, he's our most naturally talented big on offense. Terrific footwork and touch for a freshman.

So I’m going to assume that you agree with me in saying the OP’s take on Sanogo was bad LOL

Mostly yes.

His minutes should absolutely not go down, and we are not better with Carlton getting major minutes at the 5.

That said, some here do overrate his impact right now.
