Can you imagine what it will be like when he develops confidence in his outside shot?Isn’t it great to have a big man? A big strong, rebounding, great footwork, superb touch big man?
I was blown away by his driving ability. Did not know he had that in him. He was fast, strong and coordinated. He showed me flashes of Julius Randle. If he can do that consistently at his size in college watch out!!! He will be an AA and could play himself right into being an early entry lottery pick. I was impressed by him before but tonight the skills he showed for a big man were jaw dropping.My favorite play of his didn't result in a basket. They were doubling all our guards way out beyond the 3-point line. He noticed a huge gaps and put it on the floor 2 or 3 times and drove all the way to the hoop. He missed but not a lot of guys his size can do that.
Can you imagine him in a couple years? Guh!
True. But he made his foul shotsMy favorite play of his didn't result in a basket. They were doubling all our guards way out beyond the 3-point line. He noticed a huge gap and put it on the floor 2 or 3 times and drove all the way to the hoop. He missed but not a lot of guys his size can do that.
He is going to be unbelievable next year.
It will come. We are set for the next couple years. Don't remember the direct quote but at the start of the year Hurley said something to the effect of we'll win championships with that kid when asked about Sanogo.He was great today and a one of his better defensive games as well. This off-season I want him to learn to go for the jugular. With his moves, he gets guys off their feet so often but normally pivots away. If he learns to initiate the contact in that situation and finish, he’s going to be brutal for other teams to handle down low.
Add Akok to that lineup, plus Gaffney and the 3 freshmen off the bench. Very talented team 1-9.Sanogo, Cole, Martin, and Jackson next season is SCARY. Add in the newcomers? This is not momentary momentum!
ehhhhhh. maybe after his junior year unless he makes a huge statistical jump and averages 15-10. i think he can do that but his game doesnt really translate to the league anymore. he's a ground bound mound of rebound. doesnt have the length or jumpability to be a nba shot blocker and he doesnt appear to have 3 point range. needs to do one or the other. i can't come up with a current player comparison for him. he's definitely playing pro ball somewhere just maybe not the nba (and hopefully not until after his junior year).Yes. In a couple of years he'll be adjusting to NBA life. Next year is his last year at UConn.
A week ago, heck yesterday id have said i highly doubt that but with what he showed today it is certainly possible and if he takes a big leap next year its a definite.Yes. In a couple of years he'll be adjusting to NBA life. Next year is his last year at UConn.
