No, blocks aren't the same.  Tarris averaged 3.2 blocks per 40 last season.  Sanogo per 40 block averages as a freshman 2.1, sophomore 2.6, junior 1.2.

There is no valid argument that Sanogo and Reed are equals in rebounding and shotblocking, Reed is simply better in those areas.

You aren't refuting what I said about them offensively.  Sanogo as a sophomore was a 50% field goal shooter which is pretty bad for a center.  As I said we saw him become a great offensively efficient center his final season and he expanded his offensive game out to the three point line.  Something we didn't see until his final season.  He shot 61% from the field and shot 52 three pointers after shooting just 1 three pointer the season before.

Reed shot 65% from the field last season and he does it differently than Sanogo, he flat out overpowers players where Sanogo used footwork and patience.  I expect Reed's scoring and efficiency to be on par with Sanogo's this upcoming season and he will continue to be a better rebounder and shotblocker than him.

Sanogo didn't have a senior year at UConn.
