you run some plays through one of your players you want to develop? And it can actually help other players? That is really selfish of me. The funny thing is back-up is Bruno and you think he will be able to play with the starters based on two lobs in a preseason game. let us see how the season rolls out and who is where at the at the end of the season. But like some here the only way you can imagine people can think differently is that they have a bias, and they root for a player is pathetic. As I said, we’ll see who is closer to the truth.
I'm not a believer either, but I'll see how this season plays out. Too early to give up on a 1st round pick. He just doesn't play with enough force. Fumbles the ball and gets blocked way too much for my liking. And since he can't shoot all that well, defenses play off of him and he can't really drive to the rim either. He has elite vision, but his passing is honestly just okay. He doesn't make those elite passes that Jokic makes. He just makes the right pass which is still very promising to be fair. I'll be patient though before I completely write him off as a potential talent.
Maybe while I'm learning that difference, you can learn the difference between "were" and "we're". Since I'm a generous person, I tagged your previous mishap so you can learn from the mistake. Have a blessed day.
He has post moves, plural. Idk how that itself is considered one-dimensional. I get that post moves isn't as sexy and popular as it was back then, but i would never considered someone who has post moves one dimensional.
The "Post" is an area on the court. If a player can only score from one area of the court then their offensive game is one dimensional. True he has multiple moves that allow him to score in that area, but it's still the same area. Once he develops a consistent 3pter (form looked good but need to see a few more fall before I'm a believer ) and mid-range shot (which I think would make him unstoppable out of PNR plays) his offensive game will be truly multifaceted. Right now even when he receives in high post he is looking to get to the low post to score. Just needs the ability to mix it up a bit. btw... I could care less about his offensive game. I think he is already ahead of the curve on that. I want his defensive game to take another step. Hakeem scored most of his shots from the low post but because he could beat you with the dream shake, was more agile than most centers, and was an absolute BEAST on defense you would never think to call him one dimensional.
Hakeem didn't shoot a ton of threes. I guess in the logic of some, that would have made him one-dimensional. SMFH.
I come here to read sweeping conclusions based on very little evidence from monday morning quarterbacks. Fun. Priceless. Epic.
You're better than that. The NBA of Hakeem's heyday is not today's NBA. Bigs dominated the league back then with more than one team playing inside out, pound it in the post style offense. Those day's are gone. Bigs today need to be able to shoot the three or at the very least be a mid-range threat out of the pick and roll. Trust though, that if Hakeem played today I have no doubt that he would be able to shoot the three. He didn't have the dream shake when he came into the league. Just like he worked and developed that shot, he would've developed a three. Great players do that. Here's to hoping that we have two or three of those in our young guys.
Strikes me as having tons of potential. He is very young, very big, moves well, jumps high, seems mature for his age, clever, and has Smith to pass to.
... And above you said "I think rather then forcing kpj to do something he is sht at, sengun is better utilized off the bench if his defensive skills as a center is lacking. He can run the offense as the second unit." So, because KPJ "just lacks the court vision and the playmaking creativity", Alpi's relegated to the bench. You're both contradicting yourself and lessening the starting 5's passing ability by sending the only true passer to the pine.
I would in a league where post play is barely featured (because there are massively better ways to score.) I would when the guy can't roll off a pick (literal big man basics) can't defend without fouling, sketchy shooter from anywhere else on the court. Once again, I would LOVE Sengun to become a top player for this team, he was my favourite player last year, I bought his jersey. He's still barely scraping roleplayer skill levels as it stands today. He'll need significant improvement before he should become the focus of anything. He's what? 5th option at best? Jalen, KPJ, Gordon, Bari all have better weapons and are better scorers. And we deffo aren't running the Adelman offense you all think we will. His "special skill" is fairly redundant if he only gets to do it twice a game. Especially when he brings nothing else to the table.
Great, he's still not starter calibre yet. Why is this so hard to understand? He is 20 with potential, none of it has been realised yet. Like I say, one-dimensional player who needs massive development if he wants to be anything more than a highly situational roleplayer. It's not my fault if you're deluding yourself that having multiple moves in the same spot makes you a superstar. ****, Kyle Korver must be ****ing elite.
One dimensional? He can pass, score down low, screen, produce free throws, rebound, high number of deflections and stocks. Not one dimensional. Maybe a one dimensional scorer right now. But that’s about it
Gee I can't imagine why the guy that barely got to play last year might be behind his peers in development, but lets hold that against him and give him even less touches and expect him to just magically figure it out. Just lol, homie your credibility is nonexistent.
