    If I am not mistaken, they might not be from the same ethnic group.

    THIS THE EXACT RHETORIC IM SPEAKING OF! "He's SMART, high basketball IQ, the coach is holding him back.....No, he is what he is, an avg basketball player!

    Im not propping up Silas by no means, as far as I'm concern he's over stayed his welcome but don't you guys think Silas wants to win too? And he sees Sengun in practice EVERY DAY and knows what his strengths and weaknesses are. That's probably why he wasn't in the game at the end, for his DEFENSE....which most of us agree on is his weakest area.

    did you even watch the video? It's a full break down of winning time.

    also garuba was at practice everyday and couldn't get off the bench before Boban. Silas wasnt even aware he could pass the ball before EuroBasket. Now all of sudden Destiny is an integral defensive player. Silas doesn't really pay attention to anything.

    Now they’re saying he’s not a bad defender, which is insane man. Having a 5 that’s bad on defense is like a PG that’s a bad ball handler. It’s hard to overcome

    Agreed. Your Center is your last line of defense. I feel as though we have enough offense, we need more defense at the Center position. That's why I think he's more valuable coming off the bench.

    I'm curious to see how they look when Bruno comes back

    Absolutely! Doesn’t mean he’s a bad player. You see how Brook Lopez and Zubac shot the paint down against us? Their guard were getting beat like ours, but they have bigs that erased everything at the rim. It’s just a fact, idk why some or blind to that

    See, I don't agree. I think Wiggins is an avg player and he made an All - Star team, however Lillard is a great player and he's only made 1 or 2 All - Star games?

    So having a couple of All - Star games on your Resume does not equate to being great.

    Andrew Wiggins is currently the second best player on a team that just won a championship…

    He’s not average my guy lol.

    Recent games:
    AP and ego is good
    Green and smith sucks like belong to the bench
    Kpj can’t pass (his iso is not bad actually )

    I am always cheers for rockets, but I do think we need to play like nuggets. At least test a few games and let the bigs creates.
    Or let’s ego runs the point guard. He is still better than kpj to find open teammates.

    it really does .

    granted , you ****ed up when you claimed sengun was not God’s gift to basketball .

    LOF wanted him to start . But they didn’t think he was better than harden and Dwight .

    guys . Silas is not keeping sengun down that much . Playing on a bad team hurts . Sengun being 20 himself hurts .

    goony is gonna be good IMO . Really good handles , good post moves , solid defensive instincts . Not the greatest size or athleticism but that’s ok .

    It’s not fair , but nowadays it’s just so much easier to get PT if you have a 3pt shot . He doesn’t have an NBA level one yet .

    The world isn’t ending when he doesn’t play 25 minutes . The world isn’t ending because we didn’t win the game due to underutilizing him .

    Now if next year and the season after that’s the case then you can argue we are blowing it with his development

    I don’t think it’s fair , the heirarchy that these guys came in with . But , I’m not in charge

    which universe are you from where Damian Lillard has only made “1 or 2 All - Star games?”

    Being an All-Star, since they changed the voting weight, is pretty damn impressive. There are, what, 24 selections every season among 450 players? That puts you at around the top 5-6% of the league at that point of the season.

    Giresun is the place that Alperen was from.

    Enes was born in Switzerland but his parents moved him to Eastern Turkey.

    I root for the Houston Rockets not just Sengun but Sengun is a good offensive center, and soon he will be a great offensive center. When we drafted him, we knew what he was getting....a very good offensive center with elite passing skills. He is not good right now on the defensive side because he is limited due to his length, not athletic and does not play above the rim. I hope everyone understand this! Sabonis from the Kings, is a very good offensive center, Jokic is a great center, who have elite offensive skills and has limited defensive skills. Sengun can and will average 20 points and 10 rebounds a game if Silas start him and give him the ball 10 to 15 times a game. He is a very good efficient center and a elite passer. The guy is only 20 years old and he has elite skills. The STARS of this team is Jalen Green and KPJ, we go as they go, but Sengun is part of this young nucleus. At Center we are tougher and stronger than last year, because Sengun is better than Wood. When Fernando comes back, he will bring the defensive side of our center: block shots and defensive rebounding.

    Stfu. I've been here since 2002, I'm a Rockets fan. Sengun is 20 years old and is already one of the Rockets top players if not the top player, I would have to be blind or a dumbass not to be a Sengun fan.

    What? KPJ has been playing bad lately? Didnt he have a game recently where was 20/5/5 with 1 turnover? But Sengun has 14/9/3 and he's all world? I don't get it.

    To me, I'm not building a team who constantly fall short, like Denver. I focus on Golden State.

    No.
    Silas is an idiot, he has no idea how to develop talent.
    You keep begging for Bruno but he is a terrible defender too.
    In fact he’s a below average basketball player, but we know why you like him……….

    If you're claiming he's the Top player on this team, you're probably both.
