Sengun looks comfortable with his country men silas had this dude questioning his every decision on the court; was always a step slow.
Good lord. Holy crow. Do you see it yet? His ability to totally morph his body into something else, year after year, is incredible. He looked cat-quick out there. Explosive, quick, strong, nasty... What a draft pick by Rafael Stone. Kudos to Sengun's obviously insane work ethic in the gym.
He was the only one who could create his own shot, so many opportunities out of nothing: missed shots turned into boards, putbacks, dunks, and assists; creating off the dribble; passing--even when almost out of control; plus a handful of almost spectacular defensive steals and blocks. Alperen, our solution...
Oh I'm just saying from history, ie lob threat and now, the staff will be looking for anything to not allow him to make mistakes. And that one he has to clean up asap.
I was very impressed with Sengun's performance today. He was incredibly strong, mobile, and performed well down the stretch of a close game, showing his good conditioning. Although he scored a lot of points he didn't appear to be fed constantly on the low block. He scored plenty on cuts, offensive rebounds, and hit a corner three. He also had some really nice passes even if they didn't directly lead to a basket, he kept the ball moving.
Being able to score like that when not having the ball in his hands is going to help him a lot in Ime's system. If he has improved his explosiveness, height, and mobility it should also positively impact his defense.
