Message: [QUOTE="bmayuc, post: 4485915, member: 493"] We've seen this in the past - Sanogo is not one of those players that has a knack for getting fouls. I suspect this is the result of several factors 1. He's strong - little bumps don't move his body or push him off balance, so refs don't call those. And his hands are super strong so when people slap his wrist it doesn't make him drop the ball, so they don't call/see it. 2. He's technical and quick to shoot... meaning if he gets a window he's going to get to his spot quickly and pop a shot off... no time for double teams to foul him on the rake and not a lot of time for a defender to get a cheapie 3. His go-to moves are not power moves... In other words despite his strength, he is not bulling guys down low to get a layup and creating contact - he's shooting a right hook or an up-and-under layup after several pumps/pivots. Again its a clean move not a lot of space for a foul. 4. When there is any push back he ends up shooting fade away hook shots, which will never, ever, ever be called fouls and rightly so. If he felt the contact and went up strait instead and got wacked - he'd have 2 shots every time. Bad fundamental he's picked up. [/QUOTE]
