    I read reports that he has grown and might be 7'5 now - he looks a LOT taller next to Gobert - pretty crazy.

    To defend Sengun, you brought up the Ralph Sampson thing like you want him fail. Sengun is nowhere near the prospect as Wemby. If we draft him, Sengun is gonna be a forgotten man. It’s just the truth

    I see that reading comprehension is not your strong suit either. Still trying to figure out what is, if anything.

    he will be better than jokic that much is clear, jokic, with his contender supporting cast, always needs either refs or alpis teammates or coaches to prevent him from beating him...

    and stop pretending like theres some develoment going on with sengun,LOL, he almost didnt develop nothing in these 2 years, all the alleged progres that he has shown is just a result of greater/better/more proper usage and more playing time...he could always do almost all of this from day 1 of summer league.

    lol imagine then how it must be on the team for alpi working with some of guys like this and even being 'coached' and 'led' by them...no wonder tanking never works...alpi is a miracle worker by doing all this in this hostile toxic environment...

    thats why we have brains and minds( hello imagination where have you gonne?!) so we know it can be done... nobody thought a team built like warriors can win one and now they are the best team of all times

    you also thought giannis that cant shoot 3s cant win and he won...

    you probably didnt thought a fat guard cant be one of the best of all times but he is...

    kg didnt lie to us when he said anything is possible

    'this has never been done before' argument is as dumb as it comes when its used for things that were done before just not in that 100% exact form or shape...

    can @jerryclark fly in the plane? i dont believe it until i see it with my own eyes

    it can be done its just basketball this is not a discussion if going to the moon possible.... of course one of the best players in nba already can win it all and you can build around him

    Maybe crack Manute Bol's 7'7.

    It just increases pressure on his feet, prone to leg and foot injuries.

    That is not a balanced lineup IMO.

    It is like a good fringe All Star type of lineup without any glue.

    Alpe is everything but a glue guy atm.

    Wemby is a help defender with his thin frame. (only a 30% shooter?)

    Jabari is a question mark at this point.

    Harden and Green both are not good perimeter defenders.

    Remember they had to put in Covington and PJ Tucker to work for Harden and Russ Westbrook?

    The shooting is also suspect and streaky.

    Portland had this weird combo of best Offense and worst defensive rating in the league.

    I know what you’re saying. It’s all bs, which is my answer wasn’t aligned with it.

    pretty bad?? i guess they had roy hibbert, d arthur, galanari, wilson chandler, kennth faried all 26-30 years old and in what should be their primes. sengun is more than a year younger and playing with 8 19-21 year olds and a 22 year old that barely has a clue on how to set other players up.

    the best player u named out of that entire group is Gallinari

    Roy Hibbert was finished…Arthur averaged 6 and 3…a guy like Wilson Chandler was a fringe starter on a good team at best by then, and Faried was bench player caliber…Faried was literally out of the league 2 years later and has never been back

    U mean to tell me that’s the roster you’d expect to be 4th in offense, and the best offense post-ASB?

    let’s please stop acting like there’s some major difference between a 20 and a 21 year old, especially when they have the same amount of experience in the NBA

    Jokic turned 21 in February of his 2nd season…Sengun will turn 21 in July…a mere 5 month difference

    I don't think Sengun is at Jokic's trajectory. But Sabonis? That's a much more likely trajectory for Sengun.

    that’s fine, but one would never mistake Sabonis for being a franchise player or someone u should build around
