    Huh? Alpi literally had 14 rebounds the game before last and 8 of those were defensive rebounds. You're scapegoating the wrong player.

    I am not scapegoating anyone, just making an observation.

    Usually observations are made by actually watching something.

    I see we can't be honest today, as the honor guard is on duty.

    The facts don't agree with you, that's the thing about modern sports, we have statistics to prove/dispute the "eye test." The stats show you should probably get yours checked.

    Goodness, how dense can you be.

    Sengun was 9th in the entire freaking NBA in rebounds per 36 last season. Ahead of some of the darlings of the "archetype" idiots here: Claxton, Embiid, Jarrett Allen, Adebayo, Evan Mobley.

    Check your facts before you come in here spouting absolute nonsense.

    "Sengun can't rebound"

    He literally averaged 9 rebounds a game (0.1 reb better than Duren I might add) last year with per 36 of 11.2. Claiming he can't rebound isn't just false, it's actually idiotic.

    Facts have been checked my guy.

    Per 36 is not appropriate for look, because you need to adjust for pace, not minutes.

    You need to look at rebounding %

    But your right, its probably someone else's fault, as it always is with Sengun.

    He was 12th in the entire NBA in rebounding percentage, pretty much the same result. Ahead of Adebayo, Mobley, Porzingis, etc.

    I guess that was his "fault", too.

    You can try to keep moving the goalposts as much as you want, it won't make him a bad rebounder.

    Bro if you have any stats that suggest Sengun is a bad rebounder, just share it. Per game, per minute, per height whatever you got.

    All we can do is pray for the haters, they are TRULY running out of material to give their sad lives some temporary relief.

    When I look at 22 / 23, sorted by Drb, I have him as 30th in the league, and this year is 74th.

    He will never admit he was wrong.

    So yea, any legit criticism of Sengun and this is what you get:
    "nonsense"
    "idiotic"
    "hater"
    "dense"

    Looks like its going to be another year of the Sengun nut jobs just screaming and crying away any criticism.

    Because it's not legit. You are just making up stuff and ignoring the actual stats that prove you wrong.

    You asked for rebounding percentage.

    He was 12th in rebounding percentage last season.

    Of this, he was 17th in defensive rebounding percentage and 3rd in offensive rebounding percentage.

    My friend they'll throw every silly per stat available to justify whatever ridiculous claim regarding Sengun's inabilities. Sengun has several flaws that very glaring. You are correct
