Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Adama Sanogo grew up in Bamako, Mali, where he initially played soccer before switching to basketball in 2014. In 2015, he moved to the United States, first joining Our Savior New American High School in Centereach, New York. Later, he transferred to The Patrick School in Hillside, New Jersey. That's where he finished high school while also playing in the AAU circuit for the New York Rens. He also won a gold medal at the 2017 FIBA Under-16 African Championship, averaging 10.5 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. Sanogo was a four-star recruit and committed to playing college basketball at UConn. Sanogo got off to a quick start in college, starting the third game of his career and never looking back. He was named to the Big East All-Freshman Team. As a sophomore, he made the All-Big East First Team. During Sanogo's senior season, UConn won the national championship, and he was named the Final Four's Most Outstanding Player and again landed on the All-Big East First Team. During the season, he averaged 17.2 points on 60.6 percent shooting, 7.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 26.6 minutes. Sanogo is shorter than a traditional big but has the bulk to make up for it, giving him the potential to be a small-ball five in the NBA. He's proficient in the primary big-man actions, including post scoring. Encouragingly, he went 19-for-52 (36.5%) on threes last season and hit 76.6 percent of his free throws, so there appears to be floor-spacing upside, allowing him to play some power forward. He's a good rebounder. Defensively, he's a bit between positions, but he shouldn't get bullied by centers. Staying quick on his feet against shifty fours may be an issue. Sanogo shares similarities with Onyeka Okongwu (an undersized center), Deandre Ayton (good footwork and touch) and Gorgui Dieng (can space the floor and play some power forward). How big of a role he receives as a rookie may depend on how well his shooting translates and if he can cover perimeter-oriented frontcourt players. Sanogo settling into a career backup role seems well within reach.

Knee
November 12, 2024
Sanogo is questionable for Wednesday's game against the Knicks due to a right knee effusion.
ANALYSIS
Sanogo played four minutes during Monday's loss to Cleveland, marking his second NBA appearance of the season. His potential absence shouldn't impact Chicago's rotation.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Two-way excellence in G League
CChicago Bulls
December 12, 2023
Sanogo is averaging 17.9 points, 11.4 rebounds, 1.0 assists, 1.3 steals and 1.3 blocks in 27.8 minutes per night across 12 contests for Chicago's G League affiliate.
ANALYSIS
Sanogo is canning 60.4 percent of 12.0 shots per game, fueled by 1.372 points per possession as a roll man this season -- ranking in the 86th percentile among all qualifiers. Sanogo's defensive playmaking has popped as well, although his 11:24 AST:TO ratio indicates that the passing flashes he displayed in UConn's 2022-23 NCAA Championship run were likely a mirage. Nonetheless, Sanogo is a candidate for NBA action down the stretch, especially if Chicago becomes a seller at the trade deadline.
