    I think this kid can be a star with some development. Turkish league MVP at 19. Any chance we can trade up into the late lottery with our 23 and 24 and get him?

    If not him, who would your trade up target be?

    Before I look him up, better or worse than Hartenstein?

    By far better.

    He needs to add strength and maybe shoot more from outside, but I think his shooting percentages were good. His footwork is great. Seems to be a decent passer. Still just 19.

    He has many aspects of his game that need a lot of work, mainly his 3-point shooting and his defensive game. Good foot movement, good ball handling and good understanding of the game; things that European centers generally have. He is a very good project with a lot of potential!

    Man idk about that. Looks kind of slow and short for an NBA center. Handle and passing holds some intrigue.

    if he is even a third of v-spanulous' skill, he'd be worth it.

    He’d be a great pairing with Green.

    KPJ / Green / Tate / Wood / Sengun?

    Yes please.

    He's basically Zion without the strength and vertical.

    He's basically Lebron without the 'it' factor.

    Sengun's footwork, passing and saavy in the paint does remind me of Scola. Alas he will likely be gone by the 10th pick. I would rather keep all our current picks and after drafting Green look for 3 and D prospects like Murphy, Thor, and Weiskamp.

    Better than Ömer (Simpson).
