Thanks for the link. What am I missing? Does this graphic say "almost all his passes come from the paint"?
Sengun is more a highlight reel flashy passer. There’s film of him consistently missing easy reads or being late on them. He’s creative and cute with it, but not that effective yet. He can improve and will, just saying he’s got a lot of work to do there. Unlike his defense, there good potential there.

I'm sure he'd be excited about Joker too since they're both champs, but somehow he doesn't see the potential of Sengun.
F'ing hate the thought of Tari and Sengun coming off the bench. It's like Clutch is blind to the man's potential, even after seeing his prototype win it all.
@Clutch is bringing this up as a possibility, not gar he would do. Also, tari is best as an energy guy off the bench. Lastly, not everyone has to believe Sengun is god. We can have different opinions, there’s nothing wrong with that
Time will tell, but I believe Sengun will eventually be an all-star. Maybe not MVP or all-NBA, but I think he has all-star potential. And Tari is a beast, he is someone I eventually envision getting huge minutes. Anyways, just like Bruno Fernando, I think it's just a matter of time before even you get on board with Sengun.
I agree with the all star potential. I don’t think he’s worth building around, which is what you have to do if you’re gonna keep him. This is a big year for many players and I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds
I saw that. The rumours around which players they might be targeting are known. But they told @Clutch who would start, and who would come off the bench? Now?
No, but Brook wouldn't come to a bottom-feeder team to come off the bench. (FTR, this is why I think we actually have no chance in hell in signing him.)
He is 35. Even Hakeem declined massively at age 36/37. If we throw much more money at him than others, then why not. There is almost nothing he does better than Sengun at this stage - shot-blocking and threes, I guess. Sengun is already by far the better passer, rebounder and offensive player. Brook Lopez would be a good backup, and the timeline would fit. To assume he would start is pretty wild. In any case, it would be more like Sengun 30+ minutes, Lopez maybe 20.
There are so many things wrong with this lineup, I don't even know where to start. First of all, you will not win a championship with this starting lineup. So what's the point of stunting the development of your best players in Sengun, Tari, Amen, Whitmore, even TyTy and KPJ (if still here), to sit behind some 30+ has-beens and a knucklehead like Dillon Brooks? Secondly, why would you bench your franchise player, who is the closest thing in the league to the guy who just won Finals MVP? Thirdly, why would you start Jalen Green and Jabari Smith, no questions asked, but bench Amen and Tari? This would be so stupid.
He just turned 35 a couple months ago, fwiw. He could have a couple more seasons where he's a starter-level. I don't think he should start over Sengun, but I think that would be a condition of his were he to sign here.
Jokic is not a prototype to Sengun, but rather a concrete goal as a final destination. Jokic is currently so far away beyond Sengun that it's not even funny.
