    No need to insult us with made up "fact"s for cheap laughs.
    We spit on the lies you spew.
    For your information: In Turkey, this style gets the hoos.

    Something tells me those kids are listening to My Chemical Romance 24/7. Are those Asics on their feet?

    Alperen Sengun is 7th in NBA in fouls drawn per game in category of players of age 24 and younger

    https://www.nba.com/stats/players/misc?PerMode=PerGame&dir=A&sort=PFD

    only following behind:
    Doncic
    Shai
    Morant
    Zion
    Trae
    Banchero

    and every single one of these has a greater usage, a longer leash, plays more minutes, in better systems, has better teammates and plays his natural position for coaches that dont hate them or hold them back...

    Sengun in no way slows your pace If used correctly. He diversifies your offense beyond D’Antoni guard ball.

    It is a mistake to play simpleton Steve+Cat+Cato basketball. Should be creating an inverted system based on off-ball movement. It is the future of the NBA as more skilled bigs enter the league, and those pick and rolls get squashed in the playoffs with switching.

    Translation for basketbally challenged, math challenged and those challenged at striping down circumstances from the real players abilities:
    Alpi is better at foul drawing than all of them![​IMG]

    Neither of those guys did that at 20.

    Let’s keep the same long term energy that we have for Jabari and Jalen, with Sengun, eh? Guy is 10 months older than Jabari, and has really transformed himself physically over the last 3 years.

    One thing that bothers me about our current system is the lack of threes being attempted. Should be 40+ a game. Jalen, Jabari and KPJ are all capable of getting up 10+. Sengun needs to be enabled to shoot them Sabonis-style too for his own development.

    this is a myth, alpi streches the floor just as if he were an excellent 3pt shooter by means of being elite at dribble drive penetration, so the defenders still cant sag off of him because they would give him headstart to drive to the rim where he is elite and this a better shot than 3pt! especially considering he is an offensive rebound monster!!

    i posted clips of this FACT OF LIFE tens of times here

    heres a couple of them again notice the tight coverage




    anyone thinking the elite 3pt shooting is a must for stretching the floor is working on an outdated and misguided fallacy/myth...hes a 2 dimensional tunnel visioned closeminded analyst

    and the teams that sagg off of alperen sengun instead of guarding him tight will pay!

    this just goes to prove youre a 3pt Cultist with hurted feelings and no arguments, so when proved wrong, when beaten up in discussion and overmathced by superior intelligence there comes accusing the opponent of believing the ridiculous...to distract from the fact you were just taken to the cleaners!
    lololol

    Its not a good idea for teams to leave alpi open at the 3 point line

    Sengun 3pt watch:

    15/42 = 35.7% above the break
    other than that he missed 1 backcourt, 1 left corner buzzer beater and 1 right corner
    15/45 = 33.3% over all
    13/36 = 36.1% with more than 4 seconds on the clock

    Lol. This thread won't age well with everyone playing better. Once Jabari plays like he has, we'll look back at this thread and take names
