    I’ll have to look , but DMO was very quick for a big . I think sengun is a bit more stout .



    Can sengun do this ? It’s not particularly incredible, but Dmo was taller .

    Imo they are similar range prospects . The game is better suited for more skilled bigs today too , there’s less of a mandate to bulk up .

    I’m saddened we never got to see a healthy Dmo develop with the rockets alongside harden or MDA

    There are videos of Sengun doing exactly this, and lobs, and put backs and 360 dunks

    Look at this...at 9:48 mark.... (I already set the video to that point, just click)
    DMO can only dream of doing this


    ps handles so good here imho he can play point forward no problem in future...if jannis did it this guy also can

    his handles look pretty good . And he’s a more explosive athlete than dmo . Dmo was slightly underrated in that regard , but I digress.

    however ... can sengun do THIS !?!?!?

    Sengun knows his rights

    Case closed or maybe going full circle and bringing DMO back into the GARM.

    It would b pretty wild if this guy outshines everyone in this whole draft.
    Debating between mobley, green and cunningham who would have a better nba career, and this guy somehow outplays them.

    Scottie Barnes and Alperen Sengun would be helluva good haul for Magic.

    He showed me underrated athleticism. His IQ is very good. Lottery confirmation in my opinion.

    for me personally it would wilder if the usual suspects were to become what they were thought of ie the stars

    at this point its to be expected that a non lottery pick outperforms the loterry
    the way i see it mayority of the teams or GMs either lack or even dont want to use basketball probing tools while making decision who to draft and they go for marketability, because if you miss on the hyped up guy you gonna take heat and got fired.. and nobodys firing you if you didnt pick jokic at 41 or yannis at 15 because half the leagues GMs missed on those

    D-Mo got injured in the best performance of his life vs AD and that was unfortunately the end for him.
