    The guy is 6'10 with a high IQ. Great court vision. Soft touch! Knows where to position himself. Also physically gifted. Long arms, tall and big enough to bang with the nba talent already. He's also still growing.
    This guy has the highest ceiling of our rookies.

    You seem to know a lot about what I expect considering I've not typed anything of the sort and you're still ranting to 1 liner comments... Calm. The. ****. Down.

    That's what I do....I'm the get off my lawn guy and you are apparently the typical
    CF I'm going to judge a team/coach off 4 preseason games and 10 players with less
    than two years of experience knee jerk reaction guy.

    You do you and I will do me.....now get off my lawn!!!!

    Lol. Idk who r u a fan of too slander sengun like that but man didn't get mvp in his league on a fluke.

    I think if green doesn't pop off and live up to his hype, sengun has a great chance of being the best rookie in the league/team

    I'm a fan of both. I'm also a fan of not judging the potential quality of the playing career of a NBa player who never played a regular season game and just 3 preseason games.

    Bro chill the hell out. Dont act like I blatantly "lied", so you can find some superiority. On court reality or not, his reputation 175% was of being bad on D. And it was overcome. Thats the entire point of the comment.

    At a minimum, I want to see 30+ points on 75% TS, 3:1 assist to turnover ratio, no defensive mistakes, rockets win by double digits. Otherwise, he's a bust.

    Edwards has a lot of strength over Green so he might get pushed around a bit. Green for his first couple of months will probably only have good scoring nights when his 3 pt shot is falling. Once he gets more confident entering the paint then we should see more consistent scoring.

    Usually an unbiased fan would compare rookies within each other's class.

    What do u gain comparing green to poole? Aside wanting him to look inferior due to your disgust for girly men?

    A rookie vs a vet, high level analysis once more lol.
