Eh, they did. Sanogo just isn't mobile enough to stay with a 4. The only thing we haven't tried is the reverse. Clingan doesn't even have Sanogo's mobility on defense, but he might have the length to deal with a 4, except on the 3 point line. Not sure how many 4s are running around coming off screens, but that would definitely be a problem as well.I just wish we tried playing adama and dc together a few x
So our high hedge defense leaves Adama on point guards and that’s ok but he can’t guard a 4 with his great feet? Of course he can.Eh, they did. Sanogo just isn't mobile enough to stay with a 4.

I think a lot of us thing of this as a thing based on the more traditional center and power forward where both guys are really post players. But in today's game, that's rarely if ever true. Putting two big posts out there creates just as much of a mismatch when UConn is on defense as the reverse.
This aged quite poorly lol! Just messing with you btwSt Mary’s has solid bigs as well. Ball fakes, aggressive rebounders and more athletic than you think. Will be a tough task in the paint.
But I like ours!!
Amen - That’s the right approach. Seen guys who do it this way and guys who don’t. At the end of the day, the guys who do it this way are much better off in life.“I get nervous about that much attention and money for an 18-, 19-year-old,” he said. “And as a father, I’ve got to set him up for success because I want to make sure that he’s mature enough to handle not only the money, but just the pressure and everything that he’s going to be under.”
This is what I mentioned in a post a couple months ago. His father is very smart. Getting to the NBA as quickly as possible isn't always the best thing. It's another world being a professional in the NBA compared to being in college.
