Or he could find other ways to be effective like rebounding or playing solid defense (see Tari Eason).
Why don’t we play Green in the lowpost? Or ask Jabari to be our primary playmaker? Or ask Kpj to protect the rim?
Know that you're being obtuse on purpose so I'm not even going to waste my time answering those questions. What I will say is that Sengun only does one of those well (low post scoring), while his playmaking is overrated (sorry flashy passes don't impress me), and his rim protection is non-existent currently. He can get better, but as fans (and I am a fan of the kid) we have to be honest about what we see in our players. It's just the preseason and this game he didn't have an important piece next to him (Jabari) but I still expect more out of him.
Let me answer for you then. We play to the strengths of our players, that’s why we don’t ask them to only do the things they are worst at. Of course Alpy should still play defense and rebound, but if you are not going to even let him touch the ball once, for his lowpost and passing(he is elite passer for a big man, irregardless of how impressed you are), then why even have him out there, you are setting him up to fail.
Why slow the game down when we were cooking? So let’s take the ball out of the hands of the guys that were damn near perfect from the field.
Depending on kpj and green shooting 100% from the field to win results in a beat down by the Heat third stringers. Maybe that’s the plan this season, tank.
Really? Bc we were up big with them cooking. Heat only came back bc we put in all of our backups, which wouldn’t be the case in the regular season
We were playing to strengths of pretty much player except Sengun. He’s the only main player who doesn’t fit! Yeah, let’s not play to strengths of others to cater to one player. Y’all care more about this guy bc he makes cute passes, like congrats lol
Bc he deserves to play and have a chance to grow. He’ll be on another team eventually. Do you care more about the rockets or Sengun?
I care about the Rockets not misusing and wasting their assets. Also I’m not convinced at all that running the offense solely through kpj and green is better than having an involved Sengun, for the Rockets.
If they weren’t using KPJ at all, you and others wouldn’t complain. It’s bc many are attached to Sengun. He wasn’t able to get involved bc it was a fast pace game
Kind of how you guys do with KPJ. This is a dumb thread and I like Lucas but your little group is a bunch of hypocrites
Case in point lol. Pathetic. Sengun deserves criticism when it's warranted (which it was tonight) but thankfully he didn't quit at halftime like your loser hero
lol as if coach didnt misuse him last year in the preseason and for the entire regular season .... how many decades its only fair for shitty coaches to be given more chance?
so simple...but how can you make blind to see and those to hear who have ears disconnected from their brains?
