5. And a few more to NA and JC.All it will take is Give 10 of AJs minutes to Clingan.
We know exactly why, it's because our starting center is on the Kareem Abdul Jabbar watch listMaybe we’ll figure it out by the end of May. Frustrating
Ok but what is the difference spacing wise between Clingan and Jackson? Either way the defender isn’t leaving the paint.We know exactly why, it's because our starting center is on the Kareem Abdul Jabbar watch list
Right sanogo is the only 1 of the 3 that can shoot so he would have to play outside instead of AJ. It’s great that sanogo has gotten better at shooting 3s but moving him to the perimeter is a waste of his elite post scoring ability.Ok but what is the difference spacing wise between Clingan and Jackson?

They’re both impact defenders, but only one is an offensive liability. I think using Sanogo and Clingan simultaneously makes sense when Jackson sits unless one is in foul trouble or Sanogo is getting torched by the other teams 4
The tradeoff isn't Jackson to Clingan though, I agree though that on offense the spacing is no different. It's on defense where I don't think that lineup can compete. Clingan at the 5 is an upgrade, but Sanogo guarding 4's and Karaban guarding 3's is a negative compared to against 4's and 5's.Ok but what is the difference spacing wise between Clingan and Jackson?

What would you lose if you'd written, "I'd like us to explore and benefit from this possibility in the next 5 games" instead? Isn't that what you really prefer?Maybe we’ll figure it out by the end of May. Frustrating
Frustrating for sure. Not expecting change in MSG but holding out hope it all comes together for a deep run in March.Maybe we’ll figure it out by the end of May. Frustrating
And then there's this all-too-forgotten thing - the defensive side of the ball. It's impossible to know unless we give it a try and I really hope in the last 5 games we try the Adama/Donovan thingy more in game action (the goal at this point is to avoid the Wednesday game)... Give Andre and Karaban a bit less time to rest them, have them watch a bit more, etc and get everything in place for the BE tourney.Right sanogo is the only 1 of the 3 that can shoot so he would have to play outside instead of AJ. It’s great that sanogo has gotten better at shooting 3s but moving him to the perimeter is a waste of his elite post scoring ability.
Regardless, which pairing nets us more points? Sanogo down low and AJ outside, what we’re currently doing, is giving us ~23 ppg. Would playing the same amount of minutes with Clingan down low and sanogo outside give us more?
Maybe. I could see ~12ppg from sanogo and ~12ppg from Clingan. Sanogo would be taking more of his shots from outside and shooting a lower percentage than he is now so Clingan would have to make up the difference.
Is an extra point or two worth potentially ruining team chemistry and morale of our co captains?

I'm not against it for a few minutes in some games for a few minutes, but it's not the solution to the offensive spacing issues. I just think it's funny there's a thread like this every few days over Clingan getting 12-13 minutes instead of the 15 people want. It's splitting hairs

I don’t think that’s the main reasonWe know exactly why, it's because our starting center is on the Kareem Abdul Jabbar watch list
Forgot how exact some people on this board are, I should have said 11.9-13 minutes instead of 15Clingan is averaging under 12 minutes per game in conference play, he should be averaging around 20 minutes per game.
We ain’t getting it done without his involvement. He was MVP of the tournament out west and showed his value. 7 minutes is a disgrace.DC has to play 20 to 30 min or we go nowhere. DC has all the ability to make the difference on defense alone.
I have a question. Sanogo elite post scoring ability?Right sanogo is the only 1 of the 3 that can shoot so he would have to play outside instead of AJ. It’s great that sanogo has gotten better at shooting 3s but moving him to the perimeter is a waste of his elite post scoring ability.
