Alperen Sengun is the Rockets' REAL franchise player - all other threads are copycats

He is a nice player, but in no way shape or form a franchise player.

Projects out to a really good bench player on a championship level team.

 

all u have to do is look at more than the basic box score stats to see who is clearly better than who, and I have already done so…it’s really not all that close

Jokic is noticeably better in pretty much everything

 

Even in the off chance sengun were to end up remotely like jokic, jokic himself has accomplished jack ****. He is playing next to kcp, bruce brown, and aaron gordon and they are still a question mark on defense going into the playoffs

 

I think he hit a wall

Played b-ball over the summer

I bet we shut him down in about 10 games

 

I mean, Jokic is the best player in the NBA by a huge margin. You could make the same argument for every other player in the NBA. Sengun isn't Jokic, and neither is anyone else.

Clyde wasn't Jordan. Robinson wasn't Hakeem. Etc... Just a useless assessment.

 

I think everybody on this team would be better if we had a different coach, but better to the point where he can be labeled a bonafide franchise player?

 

@AroundTheWorld is willing to go down with this Sengun ship. I applaud him for that!

 

They are the only team that plays like that

I dont think anyone in their right mind is wondering if a team built like the celtics can win a championship or not

 

agree to disagree

building around a smaller off-brand version of Jokic who is no threat to score outside of the paint isn’t nearly the same as building around the real thing

Rockets are praying for Wemby so that they can have an actual franchise caliber prospect to build around

 

Uh oh. Sengun’s army will be coming in with their pitchforks after you lol

 

yup that was my point

 

My source is being objective about our players.

He is a walking layup drill, will never have the size / length at center to to not be one of the worst defensive centers in the league. Offers no rim deterrence at all. Will get a few blocks because he is a clever and the sheer volume opportunities he will have. His foul proneness will cause him to be less aggressive defensively, which will push him to an even worse defensive position. Prime candidate to be targeted and played off the court in a playoff series.

He is very flashy offensively which I think fools people into thinking he is better offensively than he actually is. Good post up game, great passer, but very turnover prone.

He is a guy who could certainly come off the bench and just blitz another team's bench, without the defensive pressures of a starting unit, but probably will never be much more than that. Would make a nice trade piece though.

 

No he's clearly not. Some our best games Sengun didn't even play lol. Jalen's by FAR our franchise player and behind him is KPJ as the best player. Sengun is just a hub on offense
