    A player is heading toward the basket to score and he knocks it far the **** away preventing them from making the basket and you think thats not an indicator of good defense? Are you ****ing stupid? Now Ive seen some dumb things on this board before but my god man. You need to warn us all before posting something that stupid. Was it a joke post? Jesus its just dumb. my god, how do you remember to breathe? Are you ok? Do you need someone to call 911? cuz wtf

    All jokes aside...
    Note: "The data, upon a surface-level analysis, told us nothing new: blocks are a good thing. Based on the data we analyzed, the average block will lead to an O-board 41% of the time, and of that 41% of O-boards, 39.3% lead to points."

    Jalen desperately needs to start developing his playmaking skills.

    My comment was more of a dig at Silas and the assistants tbh. Seems any time they speak about Sengun it comes with a qualifier, "yeah he's good on offense but....."

    They don't talk like that about any other player, you could say the exact same things about Jalen and KPJ but they seem above criticism from the coaches for their poor defensive performances

    His defense is the biggest issue. Him and Mathews are like automatic doors. Just move right out the way for anything that comes near.

    The silence before the storm.
    They are trying to find another excuse to attack to him.Size, stamina, language barrier,fouling, lob threat, 3pt%, yelling to HC,...

    I wonder what is next?

    Sengun being our best player means we got a shot at Webemyama

    this is why tanking never works, you dont just draft great players, you need to coach them, guide them, teach them, support them, entertain them, keep them engaged, IN OTHER WORDS GREATS PLAYERS ARE BEING PRODUCED not just selected

    He has. Far better than last season. In this offensive set up, he isn't called on to be a playmaker for everyone like a quarterback.

    And Garuba…and Josh was touted as being a good defender at the guard position.
