Where does Adama Sanogo rank among Dan Hurley’s most talented UConn players?

Ranking the 10 Most Talented UConn Huskies Players Dan Hurley Has Coached…

It’s difficult to achieve the trophy haul that Sanogo achieved during his time at UConn without possessing a high level of talent.

In addition to being a two-time First Team All-Big East selection, Sanogo was the Final Four Most Outstanding Player in 2023 for Dan Hurley’s first title.

Sanogo was equally good too. He was a starter in just his third UConn game and made the 2021 Big East All-Freshman Team.

Not bad for a boy who originally played soccer in Mali before trying out basketball in 2014 on the recommendation of his uncle.

Sanogo is a genetic beast. At 1.90 meters tall and weighing over 110 kilograms, many people notice Sanogo’s immense strength, but his speed and quickness are underestimated.

Sanogo’s ability to run down the field and move his feet on defense when switching to guard or covering a screen makes him extremely valuable for a player of his strength.

Tarris Reed Jr. has drawn some comparisons to Sanogo due to their similar strength, but from an athletic perspective, Sanogo was faster on the court and laterally than Reed Jr.

Sanogo’s development abilities are also underestimated. He has legitimate three-point range, which, along with his growing skills as a passer, will serve him well as Sanogo continues to put pressure on the Chicago Bulls organization to give him more opportunities.

Sanogo is currently on a two-way contract with the Bulls. Last season, he was named to the NBA G League All-Rookie Team and the All-NBA G League Third Team.

But who surpasses Sanogo as the eighth-most talented player Hurley coached at UConn? Find out below.
