    Not saying Sengun is even an Ok defender but our backcourt was absolute trash last season on D.

    SengunGoated225814 is reporting he may even be 7'2, so I may have to update my records.

    If Ausar becomes a better player than Amen then Sengun actually cost us by being so good and allowing us to get beat out by the Pistons for the worst record. Franchise players don't do that.

    Not getting Lopez will be a blessing in disguise imo. Alpi is poised to take his game to All-Star level over the next two years. :)

    KJ has been traded, who will cut to the basket for Sengun now?

    Yeah, this annoys me as well. Hopefully, Green and Bari. Tari will do it.

    Yeah, I'm of the opinion that everyone has to do their part defensively. Looking at Denver and Joker also proves you don't have to be elite defensively to win a title,but you can play position defense and rebound at a high clip. I like Sengun and the way he plays basketball, but he's also young and can understand defensive angles better and use his length, if that makes sense.

    I agree and have said as much myself when asked how he could improve his D

    Tari, Bari, and Tate all do it already. Green as well, but usually off the PnR.

    I hope so - I just don't expect him to play a ton of minutes, and probably the majority of those he plays, he will play with the backup center.

    I have no doubt he will. I think they will be running the offense through him this year.

    The ONLY upside to missing out on Lopez is that it’s “In AL-P we trust” from here on out ;) Still hope they bluster interior D but I’m glad Sengun will be our starting center.

    Saw him on his instagram story. Looks like he shaved, so he looks even younger. Also, saw him next to his girlfriend, he doesn't really look any taller than before lol.

    He looks taller to me, but maybe that’s bc he’s slimmed down some

    Yeah, he looks a bit slimmer to me, too. Hope it gets him more lift. No idea where they are, but looks nice lol.

    (However, he did get blocked by a tree, so...)

    Also, that's some big ass dog lol

    Amen and Cam (if Cam sees real minutes). Both are insanely explosive at those kinds of actions.
