    I would take Sengun over Banchero any day of the week, and twice on Sunday. They are practically the same age. The only area where Banchero is ahead is that he gets a lot of favourable calls from the refs (more free throws), whereas Sengun gets hacked all the time, no call, and then he gets called for ticky tack fouls on the other end. Even Sengun's 3-point percentage is better now lol (admittedly on a small sample size).

    Alperen Sengun is better than Paolo Banchero.

    Alperen Sengun is the best player of the last two drafts already, and will end up being the best player drafted 2020-2022.

    (Meanwhile, Anthony Edwards is playing very well, and, on another note (and this is where I disagree with @hakeem94) - Jalen Green at 20/21 years of age produces comparable offensive stats to Anthony Edwards at 19/20 years of age. Edwards then made a significant jump in efficiency and productivity the next year - the team should really try and get Jalen Green to develop on a similar trajectory, if in any way possible. I think Green has lots of potential. He seems to be tracking a year behind Edwards, but I hope we can keep developing him the right way, and that he can catch up to Edwards in terms of consistent performance.

    Imagine ending up with 2 of the best 3 players from the 2020-2022 drafts...and potentially adding one of the best two players of the 2023 draft...plus, wherever Jabari, Tari and TyTy end up in terms of reaching their potential.

    "Sengun is best player from last 2 drafts"

    You would think a guy THAT good wouldnt be disappearing vs the best teams in the league .. at least I was told that we could be a 30 win team if we just gave him the keys!

    I never said anything about stats produced by jalen in comparison to ant...but now that i have an occasion personally its silly and hilarious to me to make such comparisons 14ppg vs 12 ppg on this and that % in year this or that LOL....

    its ignorant basketballwise beyond whatever i can imagine LOL and i absolutely dont care about statpadding...

    and i also dont think ant is some impressive role model worth sacrificing everything...sengun is already better than ant for a careful eye

    you can LITERALLY make an allstar out of any player by giving him leash and usage rockets gave jalen green and you can do it even more efficiently and not holding other players back if you are wise, carefull and caring

    also ending up with 2 of 3 best players for this or that draft i really dont care it guarantees absolutely nothing even if you end up with them

    i am not against jalen per se but the way how rockets going about his development is cancerous and is creating a cancer...

    you can absolutely develop green into a star by playing through sengun but no this management wants to create an idol and give him the max money...its just a marketing for them and it probably has to be a black nail polish guy or something and they are cement set upon making him into the franchise regardless...

    we already r****ded stiffled, and held back development of sengun for 2 years, who is a real basketball phenom A REAL GENERATIONAL TALENT that comes once in a generation or even once in a 20 years

    now we gonna waste even more sengun years just a to make jalen green into a decent player? LOL

    its tragicomical and it shows me why tanking never works

    maybe Sengun should learn to actually take jump shots, and his field goal attempts would increase

    it’s hard to get off 15 baby hooks a game

    no team is dumping it into someone 20 times a game in the post

    Jokic and Embiid lead the league in post-ups per game at just 9 and 7 respectively, and they both average just 3 shot attempts a game on those post ups…they take and make a lot of jumpers

    u give it to Sengun anywhere outside of the paint and 99% chance he won’t even look to shoot it

    And it's a large reason why the pnr ball handler on this team often gets trapped or doubled because the big roll man is not a threat to shoot from outside.

    Then they get mad when green and other take the shots when sengun refuses to take shots outside the paint, dem folks wild enough to join the Mobley stans to wanting to trade green.

    To be fair last game specifically there were a couple of possessions where Sengun did establish post position and Green decided to take the off the dribble three.

    Those are the possessions Green needs to eliminate from his game.

    I mean, people SHOULD get mad at mindless chuckers taking bad shots....well they would if the goal was to win games. Since we're tanking, let our tank commander keep chucking, it'll ensure losses.

    I don't like it when ANY player takes bad shots....but given that your hilarious whataboutism is talking about a significantly better shooter....this is probably not the direction you want to go killer.

    Pffft significantly better shooter. Man finally has a ts% of 55 in his four year career and we dont even know if it's sustainable since he's been nursing his toe.
