Adama Sanogo

Draft Notes

Sanogo is a classic back-to-the-basket big who has a good touch around the rim and is efficient with his touches.

Has shown some pick and pop ability, which will be a big swing skill for him at the next level. Has become a very good FT shooter.

Is a very good rebounder on both ends.

Is somewhat heavy-footed and a low center of gravity guy. Isn’t much of a rim protector but plays solid defense inside. Isn’t great guarding in space.

Isn’t the most natural fit in the modern NBA but should carve out a role as a back-up big.
