NBA DRAFT SCOUTING REPORT

BORN: NA | YEAR: Jr. | WING: NA | REACH: NA |
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.
