[Player Assessment] Alperen Sengun

Sengun made his.

 

Did you post the right link? According to this sengun has nearly TRIPLE the WS generated per 36. There's plenty of other stats that suggest the obvious conclusion that others have come to already, but I could be wring.

 

Sengun wipes the floor with KPJ regarding any stats. Only Silas/his sycophants and the 7 KPJ stans on this board don't want to know the truth.

 

lol is "34to11" a KPJ stan? Would make sense.

 

I generally agree with your first 2 paragraphs. That's what my last paragraph was saying. They're all so young now it doesn't really matter. Just continue to grow and see where everything lands out in the future. I was discussing future projections. Ultimately, you'll want to see all players work on things that make them reach their potential on a championship team.

Your last paragraph is actually what I was talking about longterm for Sengun. I think Sabonis should be much better defensively with how strong he is. But, for whatever reason he's not. And, the Kings are therefore not good defensively. They will have no chance at a championship until they build around Sabonis to improve their defense. The same would be the case for Sengun if he became a Sabonis clone or a Chris Webber clone.

It's definitely not easy to build a championship contender around a Sabonis type. It's easy to build around a prime Lebron or a Giannis. Guys that are dominant 2 way players. It's the reason the rockets had to tweak things so much with Harden. Everything has to be just right to cover up defensive weaknesses yet still not hurt the offense.

 

nothing you see you should trust, your brain is tired of carrying all that fat around so it gives you a distorted picture of reality....
you need to eat some real food and hit the gym...

 

You dont need to build around him if he isnt good enough. He can just be a good player on a good team. I mean is GSW built around Wiggins? No right. It's the same thing.

The whole "build around" is an american concept if you look at Euro teams they rarely build around 1 dude its about more having different options for varied attacks. Same thing with Sengun he doesnt need an entire system built around him hell he is like 3rd option at best on our team but he still racks up the pts and rebs.

 

Couple of important indicators:

- Sengun blocks roughly 2 times as many shots as Sabonis. Blocks don't necessarily make a good defender, but it is a good indicator.
- Sengun is 6'11 with a 7 foot wingspan. Sabonis is 6'10 with a 6'10 wingspan. It's not a lot but Sengun is clearly better equipped.

On defense I see Sengun more as a slightly smaller Andrew Bogut with better quickness. On offense yes Sabonis is a good comp.

 

Ayl-pah-ran Shengün.

 

Probably like 20 inches. He’s the only guy I see that has to fulling extend his body to dunk.

 

Say 2 feet and we have a deal.
His vertical's nothing to write home about.

 

Basically, Derp made two threads for players he doesn't seem to like much (KMJ and Alpi), disguised as seemingly objective "player assessment threads", and then gets mad when people disagree. Shrug.

 

I don't see Derp getting "mad" here, am I missing something?

Yes, you are. But that may be because you like it?
