    That dog stayed infront of his man more than KPJ or Green did last season.

    Alp was 2.07 when he was playing for Besiktas Istanbul.
    Was 2.08 when he started to play for Rockets.
    Was measured 2.09 when he was playing in last year's FIBA tournament.
    Expected to be 2.10/2.11 this year and he declared that he is 2.11/2.12 barefoot recently.

    He has 1 more year to grow theoritically and will end up 2.11-2.13 (6'11"-7'.0") product.

    The other important thing is his lower body strength (for his footwork). If you compare his legs to DBrooks', Brooks loooks like a boy scout. Alp's early swimming experience and less-salty Black Sea's waves helped him to get strong legs.

    Note: Black Sea/Mediterranian Sea salt levels comparison is 19 to 37. Less salty seas are more difficult to swim.

    Sengun is 6’11 so he is the ideal height to be a great center.

    He's not a "look-stable" player.
    He's a very good basketball player.
    Stop clutching at straws just to diss him.

    Is Sengun, as the foreigner, still a bit of an outsider on the team? I see Bari, Tari, Brooks working out together...why is Alpi only practicing with his dog lol.

    He was 6'7 in 2020. He grew a lot in 20' summer.

    Why are you so adamant about trashing Sengun? I get people who anoint him as the second coming of whom ever are annoying, but he’s very clearly offensively gifted and fun to watch. Other players and coaches have commented on his play, not Green. Not KPJ, they’ve mentioned HIM as their favorite to watch on our team.

    so why do you hate him so much? He’s not the only defensive liability on this team, yet you expend endless energy belittling and trashing him.

    Is it because you’ve created this persona and now you have to keep it up? Or are you really that obsessed with convincing people he sucks? Either way, you’re not bringing anything informative to the table. You’re just espousing negative views about your own team.

    Bc he brings a racist fanbase with him, which isn’t his fault of course. I also hate what he brings at the center position defensively. I feel like you have to build around him to maximize his abilities and cover for his weaknesses. I don’t want us to go that route and I don’t wanna hear the jokic **** bc he’s an all time great

    I must have imagined when Luka and PG both praised Green and said to build around him.

    Do you think you are a victim of selective bias? As in you purposefully seek out Sengun praise so you miss all the times other players and coaches praise Green?
