    I agree but considering we are talking about realistic options, I am with @Mathloom on this one. More minutes with Tyty are meaningful. My only worry is that he will still not be allowed shoot or playmake and will still be used exclusive in pnr's and off ball screens.

    I agree with you, but I don't think there's any chance it happens.

    So the next best option is we see Sengun off the bench and I'd rather see that than watch these guys act like fish trying to fly. There are too many scorers in the starting lineup, whether they were kids or vets this lineup would be a disaster for any team. Any team starting its 5 best scorers would not operate optimally.

    Any NBA team is good for Alpi except Spurs and bloody Knicks.

    Alpi was expected to be drafted between 8 and 12 and he joined Spurs' pre-draft camp. Pop decided to draft Joshua Primo over Alpi (what a decadence for once a great coach), huge disappointment for Alpi. He even mumbled to leave the arena, Turkish agent stopped him. Thanks to Spurs, Alpi plays for the greatest NBA team.

    Under Pop he would be an outcast. Pop did same thing for Kerem Gonlum (6'10" SF), gave away 4th year Hedo free to Orlando - MIP, 6th man of the year type of player), ignored Alpi. I don't know what they did him when he was undercover in Incirlik/Adana/Turkey but should be something serious.

    No Spurs, no bloody Knicks please. Keep him, fire Silas, bench KPJ.

    Current Houston has no chance to bench Sengun if not pure tanking/suicidal. At least half of NBA will give him starting role. It will also be bad sign/ to lure FAs. Who will come to a team there is no meritocracy, too much cronyism, coached by a novice, leaded by a late 2nd rounder?

    I’ve listened to will on the Twitter spaces. He doesn’t think Sengun can be our 5 of the future. He also mentioned he’d rather have Robert Williams… lol

    By the way, I don't think any kind of raotation vs change will make a meaningful difference before silas gets fired, unless he accidentally discovers something good and decides not to touch it.

    I don't have the link to it but someone posted Silas commenting that staggering Green and KPJ does not make a difference, which is exactly my point. The problem is much deeper than rotation, line-up changes can fix.

    this year gonna be tanking so sengun had to improve his skills

    10+ rebs every game
    solid defense
    no foul
    **** 3pt, work on midrange first

    Boston would love to swap undersized. Williams directly with Sengun but I don't think Stone is that idiot.
    As Jokic stated that some teams' play is very obvious and prepared opps force them to their weaknesses. Celts is weak at center, just good enough - also- undersized Miami but has nothing against GSW. Alpi is not one of the biggest center but at least can create opportunities when Tatum&Brown clamped, a certain upgrade from Williamses (Robert&Grant) and from 100 years old Al Horford.

    Good move for Sengun, disaster for Rox.

    Mid-range improvement is more important than 3pt. Next year he will be 22/14/6 per 32, no doubt.

    Wow, had not seen that. Him saying that is a problem... I mean of course I'd need to see the context but I can't at this point imagine why anyone would think let alone say that. It makes a huge difference in every way... their development, keeping a scorer on the court... etc.... SMH at that one.
