    I repeat my question, are you saying he sucks at basketball or as a starting point guard?

    He's unplayable as a starting point guard, so he's way below "sucks" for that position. So far, he has overall sucked as a player considering he finished his 4th season. He has not played at a rotation level IMO, you i'm guessing disagree, which is fine.

    Would you trade him for a 21 year old Hakeem?

    Yes (because we know the outcome).

    But he is the closest thing in the league today to a 21 year old Hakeem (not in terms of defense, but when I look at overall talent for a center at that age), so...

    And this expert agrees.

    He's the only good young center prospect in the league unless you count wemby, so i suppose you are correct!

    I think Chet will be pretty decent, too, if he can stay healthy (big if, for him and Wemby).

    He's an analytics guy who is close with Daryl Morey, not just a screamer like Stephen A. and Max K.

    Logged on and saw five new pages. Great, thought I. Some new info on Sengun, maybe a video or an interview or some analysis about how the offense or defense will function.

    But no.

    Thanks for crushing my absurd belief that there might be some real Rockets news here.

    IF they both can stay healthy, I think there's a 50/50 chance that Chet turns out to be the better player.

    Here is a bit of KPJ being a great teammate and showing great chemistry with Sengun for you!

    Agreed - 50% chance he turns out better than Wemby.

    0% chance that either of them turns out better and has a more productive career than Sengun (unless Sengun gets a freak injury himself), if you ask me.
