    I would say, snatch the scoring crown from Jalen Green first before anything which isn't easy.

    Franz and Banchero is really good. Pretty similar players with Franz being better defensively and Paolo being a little better offensively. Those two make a stupid good core.

    To the person that said he was the most athletic in the draft, no, no he’s not. He’s a good athlete that has advanced skills. More ball player than athlete

    Sengun has mitts for hands, and he's starting to realize it. It's awesome when your big man can catch anything.

    OOOF wow you must not have done very well in school, because thats a reading comprehension fail. Understand that the word REPORTED was in what I stated. Obviously we have no way of knowing what calls were made that were unreported. lmao don't go calling people liars when you are having issues reading at a grade school level. I simply said prove it by showing a report on this, and you couldn't. You simply do not have the capacity to read and comprehend well. The fact that you had to respond twice and still be incorrect is pathetic since you had more than one chance to read it, maybe slow down and sound out the words a bit next time, it could help. Cursing at someone instead of actually trying to understand the question is just a sign that a child is frustrated and struggling, really sad at your age.

    You asked me to prove that something was NOT Reported, lmao, how exactly do you want me to do that? I mentioned that it would be easier if you showed me a report to disprove it. Amazing lmao.

    We was looking like a young Kevin Durant, if he continues to improve his handless, shooting good shots and gain weight we might have a poor man Kevin Durant….not bad. However, Jalen is the best talent on this team unless Wemby or Scoot is drafted.

    Jabari? Who said that? He’s body type looks very athletic, but I have been quite disappointed at how unathletic he actually is. I had higher hopes. Even MPJ looks more athletic than him, and he has grandpa’s back…

    Jabari is going to be great but in this age of basketball, your best player needs the ability to put it on the floor and that is Jabari’s main weakness at the moment.

    You make a claim.
    You can't prove it.
    Instead you ask me to prove the contrary.
    I read your claim & your demand.
    I simply disrespect them.
    I disrespect you.
    I tell you to fμck off.
    Get it, oh you special, special thing?

    No, someone said Paolo was the most athletic person in the draft

    I have been very high on him from the beginning. Nothing I have seen so far has changed my mind. His skills are yet to be fully utilized. Rocket's coaching is not first rate which is a problem. I look for him to force his way into the flow of the game more and more. He rarely gets a play run for him. If fact the Rockets don't look like they are running plays most of the time. But think about it, an agile 7 footer who can shoot and defend well is rare.

    He was our best all around 2 way player Friday night. He is almost 1 complete year younger than sengun. He will have off nights like all 19 yr Olds. But I think in 2 or 3 yrs he will be our best player overall, senguns defense is such a liability I would chose Bari if I was a gm starting a team.

    9 1/2 months younger than Alp.
    Also, Sengun defense is not a liability. Bari should be better when he matures, but Alp is not a scrub defensively.

    "our best all around 2 way player on friday night"? never heard something like this before...such a ridiculous statement full of qualifiers is a very good sign of bsing and contorting the truth to fit an arbitrary narrative...
    jabari is not, never was and never will be better than Alperen Sengun at basketball, not even in alternate universes... be happy if he simple doesnt bust because being a bb bust is a thing runnin in his family LOL

    His scoring deficit and ability to self create is very lack luster to beat out Green or Sengun.

    Green had a horrible first half last season and still had a significantly more efficient rookie year while having most of his makes self created. Jabari scores less efficiently with most of his makes being assisted.

    He had a few wide open shots he clanked which could have won it for us. He can become our third best player at his peak. Right now, he is 5th best, behind Alpi, Tari, KMJ and Jalen, and that's not counting KPJ who is probably still better than he is right now. He will never have the all-around game of Alpi.

    If he can become our Horry to Alpi taking the Hakeem role, I'll be happy. He has the potential to become our best defender. He needs to stay humble.

    There should be a hierarchy for sure and I ain't giving a 19 year old trash talk king anything before he paid his dues in this league.

    Why are people obsessed with who the best player is on the worst team in the league? ;)
