    Jalen like Ja
    Jabari like Jaren

    But he forgot Baby Jokic and Bible Boy and Kawhi 2.0!

    I don't think he forgot Sengun . . . he is simply speechless about Landale

    Memphis just doesn't have a good parallel to Sengun... who did they have playing center a few years ago, Steven Adams??

    Good scoring big but no where near the playmaking for others like Sengun.

    Glad he’s saying all the right things. If he plays lock down D every night the sting of the $86-$90 mil will feel less painful. Still think it’s a terrible contract, but I’m okay hitting the reset on my feelings about brooks and giving him a clean slate. I do think there’s a lot of toughness at the 3 with Brooks, Tari and Tate…which i like.

    Exactly, that scrub has nothing on franchise cornerstone Alperen Sengun. Brooks is like, I can't compare Spam to Filet Mignon!

    Right. We'll see how we feel about the contract, but if nothing else, we won't see that same turnstile defense at the 3.

    He just earned his first incentive. Now at 86.5 for that contract. :eek:

    Side note: Dillon Brooks has got to be the most Klingon-looking mofo in the whole league

    IIRC J-Val stole Sengun's lunch money and then ate him for lunch in their matchups

    Fundamentally different!
    Our franchise player jG will never pull out his pistol to show off in front of camera…
