    Fact: 14 games in, Alperen Sengun is the starting C on the best rated defensive team in the NBA.

    imagine how good we could be if we had a athletic rim-protector who could stay with guards?

    I've said a lot in the past that Alpi didn't need to shoot the 3 loads as long as he got a midrange game to open his offense up. He went and did both from what I can see haha. That one leg looks like it'll go automatic at some point, he's still pump faking and hesitating too much on his 3's (****ing Silas man, that really annoys me) when he can clearly hit them. I'd actually rather he shot 2 more of his pump fakes even if he missed them just to train that habit out of him. He hits more than enough that just deliberately shooting will mean teams stop sagging on him. I think we can credibly call him a 3-level threat though even with the hesitancy, his actual shooting numbers are nice.

    Question for all the use to be haters? Do y'all still think he's unathletic? Cuz I've never seen an in athletic guy get as many dunks as Sengun.

    I remember watching him his rookie year he had great defensive instincts. Then Silas had him play drop coverage and literally neutered his best skill.

    I don't like that as a nickname for Sengun but I have no issues if they want to use it as a nickname for the shot.
