I’m not saying we will dump him, but I would be surprised if he was the center piece of this rebuild, he’s more likely a trade piece. Hehe.
Would you not trade him and Amen and Tari Eason for Scoot Henderson though? Or maybe trade him for AJ Griffin? I mean, I like him, but...
5 - Sengun 4 - Bari/Tari 3 - Tari/Cam 2 - Jalen?/Cam 1 - Amen it’s actually not crazy to include Brooks on this list as he’s all defensive team and only 27.
1. Sengun - we know is a keeper 2. Amen - betting on potential atm 3. Bari - consistent shot and high end role player 4. Cam - plays with force - on potential ATM Players not on the core yet. Jalen - too inconsistent, if you can use him to upgrade - you do it. Tari - my favorite player but never going to be a great player - a solid off the bench hustle player That is it...just 4 in the circle atm and only Sengun and Bari for certain. DD
That and he's a really good 3 PT shooter. Holiday and Brooks are our best at FG% and 3PT % shooters at guard.
The Draft has become such a crapshoot ..... lol.....how do teams plan with these types of uncertainty.
The funny thing is you are counting on amen and whitmore are going to get better bc they are young and have not played in alot of games but assuming green and tari potential has been met and are weighing him on potential improvement. Curious were you a fan of house ?
Not a huge fan of house, he fit in ok as a role player and there were times I liked him but overall he was pretty meh. Admittedly Cam and Amen are only there as maybes atm - they are ahead of Green and Eason who are out atm, but just barely. Any movement could change things. DD
Sengun is the face of this franchise,all others? We will see... İt is early to say something about others..
Talented player, not 100% there mentally. ADD or whatever, but the guys wasted his talent with poor mentals.
Revisiting this in a way that's not just dunking on Clutch for the Sengun take: Definitely part of the core | probable long-term starter barring wild mega-trades Alperen Sengun Jabari Smith Jr On the bubble | clearly NBA rotation players but need to prove they deserve to start long-term Jalen Green Tari Eason Good-but-temporary veterans | probably won't be starting for the Rockets when we contend for a championship Fred VanVleet Dillon Brooks Jae'Sean Tate Aaron Holiday Jeff Green ??? promising wild cards | we just don't know yet, haven't seen them play enough at the NBA level Amen Thompson Cam Whitmore GTFO Jock Landale
My favorite part of the Core was when Dr. Braz made the ultimate sacrifice to detach the last compartment prior to the detonation. That's called being a TEAM PLAYER
