If we’re relying on Clingan’s perimeter game to make this lineup viable, it’s not going to end well. I have a very hard time seeing a possibility that Clingan turns into a player that opposing defenses have to respect from the perimeter by the end of the season.
I guess you weren’t there the last two years and saw what the 2-big Sanogo+Whaley combo did for our offense…
Plus the biggest strength is Donovan’s ability to finish at the rim and rebound. Makes no sense to take him away from that.
Yeah, that lineup requires one of them to play on the perimeter. Clingan got a nice bucket on a roll from the perimeter and a blown defensive assignment but otherwise you’re effectively taking one of them out of the game offensively.
So we should play Sanogo and Clingan together because it’s not worse than Karaban and Sanogo. At least Karaban spaces the floor bettter and opens things up more. I value of playing Sanogo and Clingan together would be if it makes us better not that it doesn’t make us any worse.
I loved Whaley, played really hard and got the most out of his talent but Clingan is a so much better than him and Sanogo is supposed to be better than he was last year. He's more efficient than he was last year offensively but the rest of his game has been really bad in the last 4 games, I'm wondering if Whaley covered up for him a ton defensively.
Because both of their bigs have perimeter skills. Defenses just do not respect Sanogo and especially Clingan from more than a few feet out.
Think Sanogo being on the floor opens things up for Clingan too. If you put too much attention on Sanogo then plays like that can happen.
+5. Where did you get that stat?
Both of them can pass. We don’t know if Clingan can, but Adama is not a good passer.
Defensive matchups and spacing on offense are the reasons it's difficult to come up with the best answer.
Lol, Clingan regularly looks exhausted. I don't think he has the stamina yet to play 25+ minutes.
Both Fremantle and Nunge can make threes and Fremantle is a forward with better passing skills than Sanogo
He didn’t tonight from what I watched. I’m not saying Adama is either. Just responding to the hypothetical that he may have been.
Not saying your wrong, but that's the only switch left that hasn't been flipped that I think is coming. I just didn't think it would be this year.
He can make it but defenses aren’t playing him that tight on that shot because it’s not a high percentage one. And then you have two bigs packed in the paint to double and deny Clingan. An offense reliant on midrange jumpers as Sanogo’s go to is not a good one.
And both of them are far better on the perimeter than Sanogo.
He was gasping for air around his month piece at one point. He regularly looks exhaust and I noticed it again tonight.
That's being kind, he's a black hole.
You can't possibly think that's why we lost.
Maybe not, but it didn't help us win.
What exactly does Sanogo do well at the high post. He doesn’t make any shots from there and he’s not a good passer And he doesn’t drive to the basket. Other than that he’s better than them at the high post.
