    Does anyone know about trading cards? Why is it when I google Jokic rookie card some are $50 and some are $2000?

    If one were trying to corner the market in Sengun rookie cards which brand/collection should they buy? I need the ones that turn into $2000, not $50.

    thanks

    Wear and tear concern since he is a small guy? That's the only theory I been able to come up with.

    Such a great play by Sengun. Perfect timing and he just pulls in the ball. At the beginning of this clip, Augustin is watching Sengun make the play and as the camera goes up, he's out of the frame. Camera comes back down and if you look closely, you can see Augustin starting to sprint down the court the other way. #14 needs more minutes. They both need more minutes, dammit. They play intelligent basketball. Heck, even if we lose, it's fun to watch.

    Augustine has definitely improved over the last several games. He clearly feels very comfortable playing with our 19 year old Turkish rookie!

    One day, when DJ Augustin will long be retired, he will tell his children and then grandchildren that he actually got to play with Alperen Sengun.

    Yes, that Alperen Sengun.

    Could be, but more likely he is liability as switch defender.

    No not even close

    I heard from someone on the "inside" today that the way Silas chooses his minutes and starters it's simply based on the winners and losers of the competitions held at his house during players meetings on non-game days.

    I was told Silas has these meetings once a week at his house, and the competition's include beer pong, darts, strip poker, and pool.

    Sengun keeps losing every single game because he cannot hold his alcohol and sucks tossing a ping pong ball. So that's why he is our 3rd string center.

    DJ and brooks and Josh keep knocking the cue ball in and thus Silas and his boys ,house and theis, get a big laugh laughing at the rookies.

    As you can guess by now, house and theis and Mathews kick ass at darts and pool so they get the majority of the minutes.

    I can't divulge my source cuz then I'd have to kill u.

    Sengun cards aren't even out yet. But you want to get Prizm or Optic Cards that are chrome/holo or autographs. The other big cards are really expensive buying a pack of those us like 500 dollars. Regular paper cards won't hold as much and depending on color of the chrome it's worth more.

    I don't recall anyone, save for Diaw, entering the NBA as a point guard and leaving as a center. Lol. To his credit, however, he did maintain his bball skill level in spite of chunkiness.

    Looking on eBay there’s a bunch of Sengun cards

    And no I can neither confirm nor deny the rumors of a whale coming in to scoop them all up
