I don't get the hate for Sanchez from so many. Dude brought high energy play and good production in limited minutes
.
Dave could you please explain to us what you mean by high energy and good production?
Was his high energy on the defensive end when he gave up 7 straight baskets in the paint without so much laying a body on anybody or was it when he tries to take a charge and just stands there like a statue and never moves or is it the 1 rebound in 23 minutes by the 25 year old 6'9" man?
Dave he was atrocious on the defensive end last night. I knew you would love that dunk he had I was just surprised he didn't flex his muscles for us after he did it. He really has some stroke from the outside he uses so much energy trying to get open standing around the perimeter.
Dave I think the average basketball fan could have noticed how pathetic this guy was last night but you pick out his two driving baskets (that all he could do) and think the guy is as great as Lavin does
I don't know what freaking game Dave was watching to say Sanchez looked good and Dom was the player of the game.
The game I watched, had Sanchez look RIDICULOUS for like 5-10 minutes straight against two scrubs. He literally could not have done worse. He didn't get a single defensive rebound.
Dom handicapped us all night on the offensive end. It was 4 on 5 all night. SH didn't even pretend to guard him and it allowed them to contain Jordan and stay with Harrison better. You'd think a guy not being guarded and not being boxed out would have like 5-6 offensive boards,.
Dom did have two big buckets at the end of the first half, but how do you guys ignore how sloppy he was dribbling the ball off his feet, walking, losing control of himself and the ball before he made those plays? That is not sustainable. Other refs will call him for more than his three turnovers. Better teams will steal the ball from him when he dribbles it out of control.
And if it seems like I am picking on Dom or singling him out....it's because I'm sick of him playing this way. He's 6'5/6'6 and he's probably one of the ten or fifteen best athletes in college basketball...he's also a strong kid who is supposedly a hustler. Stop any half court set where Dom is not handling the ball and tell me where he is when the shot goes up and where he is when the shot comes off the glass. He's always on the perimeter. How in the world can Lavor Postell, at the same size and at the same position, rack up 108 offensive rebounds in a season when Dom only has twelve? Postell could shoot and drive from the perimeter, but he was always moving, always following shots, always finding angles and soaring through the lane. Dom doesn't even get guarded... he could sprint uncontested to the tin for layins all game. Here is the Postell/Artest/Bootsy team against Duke. Soak in the hustle that was Lavor Postell.
