Orlando Sanchez
- Thread starter tom in salem
- Start date
Orlando needs a few pounds of muscle, but they're the same height. Orlando seems real athletic. Maybe Williams a bit beefier, but he was agile and athletic. Orlando with 20lbs I hope we can get some inside play. If we land Chandler, Orlando will be purely a PF which I'd like to see.

The day he commits we will have him up to about 7 ft. By the time he gets to campus he will be 6'8
His official FIBA measurement was 6ft 8 and three quarter inches, or 6'9 in the NCAA world.
If anyone thinks Gift is 6'6 they should see him stand next to Moe. They look about the same height.

Good point. FIBA measurements are legit, so he's a real 6'9".

I believe without shoes. I never understood the with/ or without shoes thing.. Everyone plays ball in shoes

I'll take 6'8 3/4 with socks. He's got requisite height for a PF/C. I'll add that one article compared Sanchez' athleticism to CJ Leslie. That's nothing to sneeze at for a guy that's 6'9". He certainly fits our mold of player.

4. Is Orlando Sanchez the top available junior college big man?
During Monroe College's 2011 run at the national championship, 6-8 power forward Orlando Sanchez looked the part of a potential high major prospect. Now a sophomore, he has made good on his potential and established himself as a bona fide high-major target who is attracting interest from Cincinnati, Providence, Pittsburgh, St. John's and Texas A&M among others. He's mobile, rebounds and has become an effective scorer while averaging 10 points and more than seven rebounds per game on a very balanced team that enters the tourney ranked No. 3. Of any of the available bigs in the tournament, he may have the most established reputation and just how good he is will be a big factor for Monroe as it makes a run at the title.
