Obviously, Adama is playing like the All-American and BE POY candidate he was touted to becoming into the season. However, with the addition of Clingan, his minutes have actually been reduced a decent amount. Not saying that's a bad thing by any means -- it's a long season and keeping him rested for a March run should be the focus. However, it's a fun "what if" exercise if you play around with him current totals vs minutes:
Currently 24.1 mpg: 18.3 ppg (59th)
If he played last year's 29.2 mpg: 22.2 ppg (T-6th)
Edey, the consensus NPOTY/best center is currently at: 31.6 mpg, 21.0 ppg (and 13.7 rpg).
So, if you apply Edey's 31.6 mpg to Sanogo, he'd be averaging 24.0 ppg -- which would be 4th in the country.
Now, if you apply the same things to Clingan:
Currently 15.1 mpg: 10.5 ppg, 7 rpg
Sanogo's 24.1 mpg: 16.8 ppg, 11.2 rpg
Sanogo's 21-22 29.2 mpg: 20.3 ppg, 13.5 rpg
Edey's 31.6 mpg: 22.0 ppg, 14.7 rpg
Of course, this means absolutely nothing other than the fact Sanogo and Clingan are clearly superior to Zach Edey, they just don't play as many minutes.
