Will Hurley counter Patrick?

I think Sanogo and Clingan should play together to neutralize Wahab and Akok.


Who is with me?

 

[dogpause]

Not necessary, but I'm not saying I don't want to see them used together in certain circumstances. One thing I've noticed is how often AJ swoops in and cleans up the boards when Sanogo or Clingan are occupied defensively. If the lane gets too congested, that won't happen.

 

[McLovin]

No way. Sanogo won’t have a problem with Wahab and Karaban will be fine on Akok.

Akok lives on the perimeter. There's no need for us to go that big -- it'd only put us at a disadvantage in defending the three.

 

[MuchoDogYears]

Would be interesting, but I don’t see a need. Akok can be physically handled by Karaban.

Wahab brings more to the table than Akok. Focus on him. Unleash the Sanogo/Clingan tag team upon him.

It’s a crime we don’t see them on floor together

I say we release the Springs!!! They are coiled and ready to bounce! Let's see Richie take on his old practice mate!

I read this as Hurley and Ewing, and agree. Let's get those old guys out there!

I thought you were going to ask if Hurley should try to yell “rebound” louder and otherwise forgo coaching

What a silly idea! Why would you want to show the Purdue scouts at the game those guys together? JK-LOL

You don't think Hurley's current strategy that has won us every single game we played by 10 points or more has worked? Having Clingan give Sanogo or blow/come in when he is in foul trouble gives opposing big men nightmares. No need for the 2 to be on the court at the same time

I struggle with what threads & posts are real & what is trolling.

We’re OFFICIALLY BACK TO PEAK BONEYARD

But for real, hurley is a fool if he doesn't at least consider this

 

[Umami Zen]

Worried about the hard hedge

This thread is very enjoyable seeing all the serious responses to the original idea

You’ve heard of elf on a shelf? Well let me introduce you to Adama on A Dono(van)

Adamovan!

 

[prankster]

Does anyone believe Ajax could handle Akok, defensively?

Yes

Adamovan!

AW.. There's a NIL opportunity in this lane somewhere!

We'd definitely need a second big on the floor to help on Ewing. He'd overpower Hurley in the post easily.

 

[Tenspro2002]

Guys, we've seen this for 2+ years. Akok does not have a role on offense. He's maybe a spot-up shooter or rim-runner. He's not going to post up or break someone down off the dribble. Karaban can handle him.

 

[Samoo]

Adamovan!

If you stacked Joey C. on top, Adamovan would have the outside shooting that is really desirable at the next level right now.

I can see that happening when the opportunity presents itself. Yes, that would be quite fun to watch if the opponent wants to go giant.

I think you might have the order reversed there.

 

[tcf15]

I think you might have the order reversed there.

The logic here is that with Clingan as the base, he can still easily score on layups. It would be harder for Sanogo to score on his own if he were the base.

You guys are crazy, Clingan should be on Sanogo‘s shoulders. Makes the combination much more mobile and Sanogo would be able to carry both Clingan and Joey C and still cover the the hard hedge!

Clingan is a big dude, but I’m not sure his legs all that very long with Adama sitting on his shoulders.

Maybe put Joey C on Clingan’s shoulders to give Donavan three point range. Really, the possibilities are endless.
