    Isn’t Jock injured rn? Need someone to back Sengun up as hell inevitably miss a game here and there + foul trouble + always good to have alternative style lineups.

    i'm not against trading for rob if the price is low, i was just saying he wouldn't impede alpi

    I know. I agree. Was more of a general comment than a direct response to you.

    I’m not willing to part with any real assets for him though.

    I think Clutch probably meant that Rockets might trade Sengun for Robert Williams because Udoka likes Williams. :D

    Robert is more of a PF or at least should be a heavier PF. Situational C bc he is undersized.

    I like Gatlin's predictions but think he is a little low on the rebound and assist predictions for Sengun. I predict Sengun averages 20+ pts / 12 reb / 7+ assist / 1.5 blocks / 1.5 steals.

    If Alpi averages 7+ apg then this team is going to break all time team assist records with guys like FVV, Amen and Green also averaging above 4 apg.

    So try again with something more reasonable.

    I doubt that, Ime will run a slower style of basketball and only guys like Green, Jabari will be quick on their feet but eventually fall in line.

    The Scoring will go down and the Defense will go way up. This is the year to put this half court system to a test.

    Phase 1.5.

    I think the unreasonable thing here is Amen Thompson coming from a High School rec team averaging 4apg in the National Basketball Association.
    Green is a decent passer from the PnR, but we have to see how much he plays. Ime indicated that he'd want him to play defense, which he hasn't done in his 2 years in the league... so a bit of a wild card

    All those other guys got snubbed at being potential franchise cornerstones.

    That was an entirely fair assessment of both of them.

    A Sengun/ Williams combo would be so dreamy. The matchups and lineups we could play would be so diverse.
