Another monster double-double tonight with 20 and 16. He was the major reason why we won. I believe he has to be First Team All BE by the end of the season. You’d be hard pressed to find 5 better players right now in the conference.
Sanogo First Team All BE

Andre in what? Not in first or second team. He is good in D but I think Whaley and others are better.

Anticipating the Scruggs, Bynum, Champagnie challenges to including RJ. The only one who has better numbers on paper is Champagnie but his team is on the bottom of the table.
Coles ATO and defense + carrying a top 3 team are what put him there for me.

Champagnie is a first teamer I don’t think there will be any debate about that.

They triple teamed him under the basket a few times. They can get away with it because they know he's not passing it from under there. But I think two of the three times, they ended up fouling him.

True that.
He had a 4 game stretch of single digits in the middle of the conference season. He played great tonight, so if he continues that, he'll probably make it. But it's close right now.
After game tonight, Sanogo into the KenPom BE POTY top 5 with Cole, Moore, Gillespie, and Lewis.
Team is probably coming from these options...
Gillespie
Moore
Lewis
Cole
Sanogo
Nunge
Champagne.

Would be cool if there were all star games where they actually played inter conference exhibition games with the lineups from their POTY winners. I know that's total fantasy but let me have it! Of course then I'd be left with the sour taste of rooting for Gillespie. Never mind that idea

Where’s preseason 1st teamer Nate Watson?… Oh that‘s right, all he’s done is expose his lack of potential by coming back this year and regressed from his (apparent) ceiling he displayed last season… trying to think of anyone else in the BE conference who’s damaged their future earnings potential more than him… probably could have played in a half decent league somewhere after last year when people might have believed he was capable of expanding his game - instead he came back, no expanded skill set and existing skillset appears to have gotten worse (despite getting relatively less defensive attention this year)… would be nice if Coach Cooley cut him a check to make up for the damage done to his future earnings as an apology for not giving the kid the advice he needed last year... Watson will have plenty of time to ponder this when he’s eating meat kebabs in Kazakhstan after his B League games next year… Real shame we never got to see Sanogo dominate him this year

My only complaint with the team last night is the defender cross court who sags off his man and leaves his shooter wide open for a 3. Whaley and Sanogo are very good defenders and don't need help.
Tying it in with this topic, I don't think Sanogo gets enough credit for his defense yet, either. He's very good on both sides of the ball.
I also love that he is constantly talking with his teammates, and he listens to them as well.

I think Sanogo is on the bubble and that'll be it for Huskies on the first team.

Per KenPom (this changes almost daily):
Yeah like neither Bynum or Watson have top 5 numbers, but it would surprise me if they didn't have a first teamer. It's possible they're both on 2nd team though.
He has first team talent but guys like him and Freeman-Liberty, for example, are unfortunately on bottom half teams in the conference - which ultimately may hurt their chances of individual accolades. That being said, I could still see him on 1st or 2nd team.
