    Not trying to nitpick but that is quasi elite from three for a true Center

    Someone mentioned he is shooting like 45% this postseason which is super elite for any position

    I think in Sengun 4-5 years in the league he can bully here opponent downlow. Sengun is too strong even in his 1st and 2nd year he can dominate downlow and can backdown other bigs

    A 6’9” center with trash wingspan, no verticality, and slow feet is a recipe for disaster defensively

    He needs to greatly improve his outside shooting and improve defensively.

    I would be curious what your cousin thinks about Sengun?



    By the way, would be great to get him on the Rockets, his hustle reminds me of Tari. Every team needs hard-working players like that.

    Alpi haters getting desperate and resorting to straight up lying lol. They know that they are going to get more and more embarrassed about their irrational hate and trash takes. The fear of Alpi's upcoming success is strong with them.

    Sengun’s success is great for the rockets! Boost that trade value or help us win!

    This guy checks all these boxes...except he was only 6'6.



    Was he a recipe for disaster defensively?

    He was incredibly strong and instinctive on that end. Also, the game is way different now. Chuck would get killed out there in today’s game

    No one said he was going to be good. He wasn’t bad this past season.
    Also. None of what you want means they will be good defenders

    Moak, you how low I am on his defense. Idk what coverage works for him. Drop was a disaster and Ime recognizes that, but you don’t want him on the perimeter. Wtf can you do?! Bigger centers manhandles him. I just don’t see it!! He will continue to get stronger, but will still lack the length to contest. Idk man

    He defends well on the perimeter, in both seasons. His wingspan is the same as Jabari’s, nothing special but not below average.

    The amount of centers in the league that are what you want are diminishing.

    His perimeter defense is atrocious lol. Jabari has way better lateral quickness and he’s also power forward.

    It’s not. Nothing supports that except your “eye” which is wrong.
    Power forward and center are interchangeable

    We’ll see man. Hopefully he’s dropping 30 and 12 to justify keeping on the court

    15/9/4 with 2 stocks this past season was enough. Improvement from that keeps him on the floor
