Sanogo Feat

[ToolzieFan]

If Adama Sanogo doesn’t deserve his own thread after tonight’s performance, what are we even doing here?

It has been a joy to watch him develop. Enjoy it now — he is headed to the league next year.

Felt like watching Emeka again... amazing

What league?

I don't think he is. He won't be a high pick until he develops a reliable mid or long-range shot.

Sorry. I meant the Association.

 

[Palatine]

His defense was a step up tonight. Elite.

 

[SouthBayHusky]

He’s got another year unless we had some major postseason run where he leads us to a FF or something

 

[Palatine]

Makes a huge difference when he doesn't pick up two fouls 25 feet from the basket.

Its coming. Also, scouts will see he has continued to improve in college. He can continue that development arc in the NBA.

Impressive game for Adama. You think we missed him when he was out with the abs injury???

NBA doesn't have a place for 6'8 earthbound, traditional bigs any more. The kid is a hell of player and will Mke a living playing this game, but it won't be in the league.

I'd love to be proven wrong.

Definitely would have made a difference vs PC

I agree with this. He's more likely to be a 4-year player than a 2-year player for exactly this reason.

The NBA isn't interested in 6'8 back to the basket centers.

100%

He has a decent face up mid range but in the NBA that shot is blocked or closed out before he releases it.

He has good hands, great feet, and size that is unteachable. He would be a valuable piece on an NBA bench. He could provide a big return for a second round pick. But do you leave school for the second round? If he keeps playing like this, he may be tempted t find out.

Look at love Walker Kessler is getting right now then look at the tape of that Auburn game.

Sanogo doesnt get close to the recognition he deserves. Easily one of the ten best offensive bigs who play like bigs in the country - possibly top 5.

 

[Icehawk]

6 blocks, man he was a beast tonight - too bad he wasn't hitting his % on FTs, would have saved us all the stress of OT but no doubt he was on fire everywhere else. I think he passed out of at least 3 bad situations and had 2 assists as well.

 

[Huskyforlife]

He's gonna be a top 20 player in college going into next year. The talent to dominate non NBA style basketball is obvious.

 

[giddyup]

Dominant player that changes the game. Can’t ask for much more.

 

[auror]

Oh good call. Forgot to refollow Katie once baseball season ended.

This off-season (if he comes back which I’m optimistic he will) is going to be interesting.

Expanding his jumper out to the 3 point line will be imperative. But it is also hard to take someone so efficient near the basket, out to the 3 point line.

Was really impressed with his awareness & passing today.

Last play of regulation was trash. That was simply Adama making a play
