[ClutchFans] Why Alperen Sengun will come off the bench

“He’s too foul prone”
“His stamina is bad”
“His defense”
“His lack of shooting”
“Not about Sengun but rather Kevin and Jalen”
“Not a demotion”
And now, two posts(pg.8) just blamed him for playing for his country in EuroBasket! Wow!

Traded two firsts, took this guy in the 1st round, traded their previous starting center for a guy with so many “deficiencies” and “sucks”?! Wow!

Spoiler

LOL Sounds like a bunch of bullshit

 

You do what your employer tells you to do. When you don't, there are consequences.

 

This is the difference between someone being drafted in the top 5 vs someone being drafted outside the top 10. The former means you are being drafted to be the future of your team and the latter means they are curious if you could. Don't try to put fairness into the equation. It's about prospect expectations.

 

Because this is done more for Jalen then its for KPJ, its like you guys avoid watching Jalen's Interview where he had a happy look on his face when talking about Bruno rolling for him

 

If it potentially takes away from his development as a Rockets player, then absolutely yes. I don't give a damn about Turkey and I don't give a damn about Euro games.

 

"Coming off the bench is not a demotion/demerit" is an overrated cliche lately IMO. It may be real but the perception of a bench player being inferior to the starter is more real.

Harden should have been the starter for OKC no matter how reasonable it was for the sake of fit. I have always believed that they chose to trade Harden rather than Westbrook because Harden was perceived to be a bench player and therefore inferior to the starter Westbrook.

Bench players are not perceived to be as valuable as starter. That's just a reality. It affects how the team perceives of the guy and how the guy perceives himself. I totally understand and agree with the fit issue of Sengun with the starters. But you still should start the better player. You can start Sengun and sub him out after 5 minutes.

This is the last season you can experiment with the system and fit without worrying about winning. Why don't you give an opportunity to see if the fit can be developed, instead of scrapping it before a single real game has been played?

 

Find a new team to root for then?

 

Hahaha you ****ing clowns cannot be serious, since when has it ever been a big deal for a player to support their national team in the summer??

 

Silas: KP, Jalen, you're like sons to me.
Sengun: Coach, I was wonderi---
Silas: Not now, fella.

 

Sengun doesn't suck, but his deficiencies that he has failed to improve upon yet does affect his fit with Green. Whose more important... Green or Sengun? I'd imagine if Sengun develops enough range to be effective outside the post to the point where he can draw his man away, he will be moved back into the starting lineup.

 

They traded wood bc we were in position to draft Jabari, Paolo, or Chet. They also didn’t wanna pay wood

 

Seems like you forgot about Yao Ming? People absolutely cared that he participated in meaningless games overseas during his offseason. In fact, it was a big part of why he broke down physically.

 

Despite not starting, there will be times when he plays with the starters later in the game.

Might feel differently if he had improved his outside shot in the off-season.

 

Oh I forgot where the Rockets penalized him for that?? CLOWN.

 

Rockets didn't have to, his body penalized him for it.

 

Because he made Silas cry.
(There are so many sides to this that sound so wrong...)

 

Nice self-portrait!

 

You mean Silas, right?

 

I get it. I don’t like it, but I get it.
