Alperen Sengun is the Rockets' franchise player

F'ing Fertits! The new practice court sucks!

 

Bring the actual basketball talk back in this thread.

 

Counterpoint, he could be 5'10" and fluffing up his height, a common tactic amongst dudes of that height.

 

lol

 

You prefer height calculation based on pictures and head size guessing? This is beyond summer talk

 

I have no idea why anyone would get caught up in his height. All these people would have done the same thing with Dream who was never a true 7 footer back in the 80's if we had the internet back then. I think some of them would rather have an inferior player if they were a true 7 footer rather than a player somewhere between 6'9" to 6'11" who has superstar potential. It makes no sense to me.

 

He can't shoot good enough to be Jokic

 

This is the work he's been putting in this offseason?

 

Click to gain up to 3 inches.

 

Yes that's all he's been doing - playing against the dog 100% of the time. Nothing else.

 

That dog….. How tall is it?

 

Oh ok. Will definitely impress Udoka. Remember no hand outs

 

With shoes or without shoes? You have to be precise.

 

As Clutch said, Alperen is got that dog on him.

 

He steals, he finishes, he shoulda been awarded an and1 and instead he gets a tech? Bullshit.

Edit: Wrong thread.

 

I have it on good authority that Sengun was wearing extra thick socks and the 5'11 guy is actually closer to 5'9 but lied to his wife years ago and now has to keep up the charade for his entire life.

Therefore based on this picture I can confirm that Sengun is only 6'8.

 

Not mention, Jokic shoot with the ball over his head! That allows him to get his shot off with ease

 

Keep on keeping on with Sengünball.

Jabari is the true Summer League player. Outgrew franchise player.

 

Never hurts two have multiple franchise players.

I am not sure what you mean, but I would be just as happy if sengun is a role player if that's the role he can elevate to, as long as it is a great team that I enjoy watching. I started watching rockets for Sengun, but from that point on I want to watch good basketball, improving players, and eventually a team that has a shot at winning it.

 

"Franchise player" is a sick consept. You need 5 very good players+ 4 good bench players to become champion. Rockets have JGreen/Sengun/Bari/Tari/'23' pick(Amen) and Cam and may be KPJ. Needs 2-3 more players to replace FVV+DBrooks+... to become champion in 2026 and afterwards.

JGreen,Sengun,Bari,Tari are all "core players". F... "the guy/franchise player/Cornerstone,..." mentality. Basketball is not tennis, wrestling, fencing, boxing, it is a team sport.
