    The thing is not stats but to use your resources efficiently.

    Let's have a look at the poor decisions taken by FO/Coaching in last 2 years.

    1. Not to employ CWood at 3 similar to Markkanen and trade him, poor return.

    2. Not to employ KPJ in his natural position and convince him that he is the head honcho. The boy is going to be hate figure instead of being darling of fans.

    3.Not to give enough minutes to Sengun, to KJM and especially to Josh.

    4.Not enough usage of Alpi in offense.

    5.Not educating Jabari how to rebound effectively and how to be better shooter. The boy is under stress and consequently talks too much.

    6. Because of consecutive tanking years, evaporation of winning mentality.

    7. Not only HC is a disaster but also assistant coaches. Hornacek could not teach offense as Hollins is miserable in defense. Something wrong there, Hornacek&Hollins can't be so bad. They might not be the best but no way Hollins' team would be in dead rock-bottom.

    Better management and JGreen/Sengun/Bari/Tari stats will improve automatically.

    This is not number crunching, much more talent pool management.

    Arthur Conan Doyle was giving life to Baker Street 221B guy when he was living local,in Undershaw,Hindhead, same postcode. I guess he brought Holmes guy back to life there, after The Hound of Baskervilles.

    I certainly hope we have seen the last of the 3 center rotation.

    I think something that gets lost in the wash is that Alpy has been playing professional level ball for years against grown ass men trying to whip his ass everyday. Steel sharpens steel.

    I think the best part of his game is that it will rub off on others. Most of these guys were barely in high school when Sengun was a pro. It fkin sucks to lose and to let more inexperienced guys with hype try and get to the same level, but it’s a necessary evil when you’re starting from scratch.

    He is statistically according to RAPTOR the best player we have. Who needs the most development on this team is it Alpy? We need several of these guys to get good at the same time if we’re really going to establish something long lasting. As these other guys work on their game so will Sengun. Silas wasn’t wrong when he said this thing was going to be special, but it’s about 2 years away. Weeds will start to be plucked from the garden and soon we’ll be the best yard in the neighborhood. Manifest it!

    It’s very obvious Alp hates losing, I think that speaks to what you are saying. I hope our young guys don’t get a bad case of apathy.

    Really a waste of time when he is obviously Sengun.

    " 'He's a problem.' 'He has very unique skills.' 'We need him to pick up his 5th foul'. 'Boxing out is a lost art and he does it so well* " - Utah Jazz broadcast.
    Every broadcast stream drools over him.

    *which is why I was shocked at him giving up on very easy rebounds vs the Pelicans.
