Is Sengun smaller than Jokic? Yes. Does he play Jokic really well actually? Yes. Some really nice steals, blocks and dunks against Jokic. Jokic is still better, of course, but he also had better teammates and a supportive coach, and several years of NBA training under his belt.
The fact that he's shorter than Hakeem, who was famously suppoedly 6-10 and 3/4 (listed 7) but has almost certainly shrunk an inch or 2 as he's gotten older and probably closer to 6-8 or 9 now, makes this especially well played burn. Finally a good @bradeaux tweet!
The answer to the Thread title question is simple. Ask Denver if they would trade, along with draft compensation.
Ask again in 5-7 years, when Sengun is in his prime and Jokic's body might have had enough of the wear and tear.
All players get old. If you wait long enough the average high school player will be better than Jokic decades from now. That doesn't mean that the high school player is Jokic.
I met Hakeem 2 - 3yrs ago and he's maybe 6'9 now. Which is why I question Sengun being 6'11. I think he's closer to 6'8. His neck is long, similar to Davis Mills. If you look at his body type, he's not built like the avg NBA player. He's not very long.
Source: Trust me bro I'll trust the official NBA measurements, thank you very much. Also, who cares. He is skilled. You guys love the Bruno Fernandos of the world. Because you are clueless.
I really don't care. People who worry about inches all the time probably have a reason to do so, as they might be the ones who fell short in certain areas.
I expected that kind of response bc I proved those measurements are bullshit. Miraculously, everyone on the rockets grew, including 34 year old EG lol
Some of y’all are just flat out idiots. Alp is a legitimate 6’10-6’11. The pic with Dream is from earlier in his career. He has without a doubt grown. 6’11 with a 7’1-7’2 wingspan isn’t terrible if he can work on his strength, explosion and range. Best player on this team and some of y’all want to get rid of him, not Rockets fans
You proved **** all. As usual. Just make yourself believe you were right about something. I mean, you still think you were right about "the archetype" not being useful in the playoffs. And here we are.
As I said, if you have to obsess over inches, you probably have some trauma you are not quite over yet.
Haha we don’t have that problem, lil man. It’s funny how you’re taking it there bc you’re wrong lol. Relying on a source that had EG growing at 34 hahahaha
I'll simplify it for you. Don't wait five years. Ask now if they'll trade Jokic for Sengun and draft picks. And go to any other team board and argue your point.
