    So if every NBA player got tested athletically in every category, where do you think Sengun would rank? The way you’re talking, he’ll be higher than the 50 percentile.

    I have the right to feel how I wanna feel! A lot of y’all want KPJ and Tate gone and that’s okay, it’s y’all’s opinion! We think differently

    Yes, that is correct. He would be at the bottom of the top half. That is what above average means

    I disagree, I think he’d be 10th percentile. Now if we’re talking in between the ear, he’s be extremely high

    And you would be wrong.
    I don’t think you get how averages work. You’re comparing Alp to the elite athletes in the league. The league average vertical is 28” which means there have to be some pretty terrible leapers if a lot are over 36”.

    You would be surprised at the average 3/4 sprint, lane agility and other testing numbers. Also, some people test well and others don’t.

    Omg, there’s just no way. Okay, we play the hawks the first game. Tell me 6 guys he’s more athletic than. That’s half of the active.

    You do know that’s not how it works right?
    Is Trevor Ariza athletic to you?

    When he was younger, he was solid. Wasn’t explosive or anything. When we play the hawks, Sengun will be the worst athlete on the floor when the starters are in

    Ariza had a max vert of 32”
    Alp with video evidence is around 34”
    For reference, John Collins max vertical was 37.5 at the combine.
    Average 3/4 sprint time for NBA centers is around 3.3 seconds. Alp would be about average. Lane agility is around 11.8, he would be above average.

    Bottom line is Alp is an above average athlete, but not overly explosive and isn’t going to beat most players with athleticism. It’s skill. Like the majority of great players in the game right now.

    He does not have a 34 inch vertical! That’s just flat out wrong. He’s bending his knees and bringing his legs up in that video. That’s flat out wrong

    Is Donte Divincenzo, Grayson Allen or Pat Connaughton elite athletes to you?

    Look at his head height, you can find several plays where his head is at the bottom of the backboard.
    At 6’9 it’s pretty easy to to math to 9’6

    If you really did test vertical, you would know it’s not tested from feet height

    You’re wrong man. Sengun and Chet are the only guys you ever seem to care about. You know ball, but delusional when it comes to players you love.

    No I am absolutely correct and you know it.
    And no, I defend everyone that gets lied about. Specially if they’re Houston players.

    Kobe had a 38 inch vertical. You’re telling me Sengun is only 4 in inches below that? Come on

    I never see you like things or comment to defend anyone except Sengun.
