I read only around 5000 players have played in a NBA game so it’s a pretty exclusive club.So Sanogo in the record books as an NBA player, hopefully he gets to have a real NBA career and not a cup of coffee.
Drummond is also a FA after this season, so he could be someone that is moved which could open up space for Sanogo.He averages 18/11 on 60% shooting in the G League. He's only on the main roster now because of an injury to Vucevic but the Bulls are close to blowing up the roster since they've underperformed so much. Maybe they'll give the current group another go after Lonzo comes back from injury, but it's looking very possible that Lavine and/or Caruso get shipped out.
If Vucevic goes with them and if the Bulls don't get back a big man in those deals and if they decide to rebuild......there's a chance Sanogo could get some opportunity as a bench big. Very low chance, but there's a chance
Not sure if Sanogo is ready to fill these shoes. No attack..... Just say'n.Drummond is also a FA after this season, so he could be someone that is moved which could open up space for Sanogo.
For a guy so-called experts said years ago no longer fit today's NBA, Drummond refuses to go quietly. That was a monster game. Maybe Drummond can be our big man coach when he retires?Not sure if Sanogo is ready to fill these shoes. No attack..... Just say'n.

Why's that? He's a beast on the boards.Good grief I hate it when people say this stuff.
If he can teach others to have a +8" wingspan (he's shorter than 6'10 with a 7'6.5" wingspan) and a strong standing vertical at 280 lbs then I'd hire him. But I'm thinking his physical gifts are the real reason he's been unstoppable on the boards.Why's that? He's a beast on the boards.

There are no bad ideas in a brainstorm. That said those are some good questions to ask.Being good at basketball doesn't make one a good coach (see: Donyell Marshall).
Does Andre have recruiting connections? Know anything about recruiting at all? Know NCAA regulations? Know how to teach skills? Does he have the personality to lead?
What I have seen is that great players usually don’t make the best coaches. I don’t have any empirical data that supports my claim but think about it just in basketball. MJ never tried it. The logo Jerry West did but was never a great coach. Larry Bird did not do so great. Bill Russel may be one of the exceptions. It’s tough to teach people how to do things when they come so easily for the greats.Being good at basketball doesn't make one a good coach (see: Donyell Marshall).

But it’s mostly uncoachable stuff. Like otherworldly athleticism.Why's that? He's a beast on the boards.
Greg Oden is coaching now at Butler as director of basketball operations. All good questions, I don’t think Andre coming back here on the staff would be out of the realm of possibility he’s a local guy who comes back here a lot. Would have to start off in a smaller role and not a big coach, maybe he goes to an NBA staff after his playing career.Being good at basketball doesn't make one a good coach (see: Donyell Marshall).

I had a teacher in college who would say "There are no bad ideas but there are some not well thought out ones."There are no bad ideas in a brainstorm. That said those are some good questions to ask.
Why do people just talk out of their ass? Bird 69% of the regular season games he coached as well as a conference championship. He quit because he didn't want to do it anymore.Larry Bird did not do so great.
Patrick Ewing is an even better example. Then, look at Penny Hardaway and Juwann Howard. Both needed to hire former head coaches to school them on how to be a college coach and, despite all the great recruits their names have attracted, they aren't exactly lighting it up. Especially Howard.What I have seen is that great players usually don’t make the best coaches. I don’t have any empirical data that supports my claim but think about it just in basketball.

And when he left he said “I am not cut out be be a coach”……he got frustrated all the time. I could have qualified my statement a little better but my reference in the last statement was mostly about him. He did not like dealing with people that much and especially big egos/personalities and there are examples of that throughout his career. I mean he did go to Indiana first and left after less than a month. He was an introvert and preferred less drama than more drama. So out my ass….wow that was pretty interesting…must be a big Bird fan. But I guess he was a great coach.Why do people just talk out of their ass?

Self-awareness is an underrated trait. Kudos to Andre.I once saw an interview with Drummond where he was asked what does he attribute his prowess at rebounding. The first words out of his mouth were, " I'm tall."
Russell was a good coach when he was still playing, but not great afterward.What I have seen is that great players usually don’t make the best coaches.
