Sanogo just a man amongst boys, abdolute menace on the glass

I’m hoping to be able to watch more of his summer league games. I worry that he can’t really protect the rim or defend in space. Still, he’s just so physical and productive. I want him to get a legit chance in the NBA. Maybe Utah will be the spot, since they're still in full tank mode.

Liam looks like a different player from the guy we had at the end of the year. Pretty obvious that he was hurt more than anyone let on.

That's what bums me out that so many fans have been tough on him. He had multiple ankle injuries he was dealing with pretty much all season and he had a bout of pneumonia. We never heard about it and all he did was give it his everything all season. He absolutely loves UConn, Hurley, and the fans.

He looked awesome out there. Finished with 22 pts, 12 rebs, 6 assists.

Only fitting that McNeeley beats 3 Jazz guys to a game-sealing rebound. 22/12/6 off the bench. Very much outplayed Kon who struggled all night with 5 points on 1-8. I'm guessing a mental problem. He shot 3-6 on FTs, he was a 91% FT shooter in college. Fun fact, he never missed more than 1 FT in a game in his entire college year

Sanogo vs. Kalkbrenner again. Sanogo did really well with 8 points, 8 rebounds, and a few assists on 3-4 shooting (the 1 miss was blocked by Kalkbrenner). Sanogo and Walter Clayton had a really solid 2 man game, they were torching the drop coverage

I think their new front office is actually pretty good. They’ve had a solid offseason.

Liam was so awesome tonight.

Hope so, they lucked out having Liam drop to them but they were smart enough to take him. Kalk is a good second round pick for his defense, offense will be problematic for him but a huge big who guards the rim and gets alleyoops is nice to have. It would've been a home run draft for them if they took Ace Bailey or Tre Johnson.

I think Kon will be a good/solid player but athletically things are going to be tough for him especially on defense. At least Charlotte is taking basketball players instead of just athletes now.

And even if he doesn't he'll be playing overseas. There's no chance he's gonna stop playing basketball and become a grad assistant

At this point, I'm not sure you even worry about his three-point shot itself, but more on his lack of aggression/attack.

I know it's not a super huge sample but he is 47-122, or 38.5% over the last two years from three. Some of those misses were terrible, but his overall shooting % isn't a problem.

He needs to attack the rim more.

90% of the time on offense he wasn't moving. Just camped in one of the corners and his team ignored him. It's like he's been criticized so much about his inability to make three's that making three's is all he wants to do to prove himself.

Gotcha, felt like that was the insinuation with saying a GA. I always associate grad assistants with guys straight out of undergrad and not mid-30s but I suppose it's a possibility
