Oh hai https://www.clutchfans.net/12685/2023-houston-rockets-offseason/ Would be really interesting to hear who that was, "internally". Hopefully one of the old, clueless coaching staff, and not someone who still is a decision maker with the Rockets. Because look at who has the 5th best defensive rating in the entire NBA this season (despite not intercepting a few lobs here and there).
This stuff in here is crazy ATW. Dude is 10th in the NBA in BPM at 21. The starting C on a top 5 defense in the NBA. Come on now…
This is embarrassing. The whole damn post and prediction. The internal discussions too, everything. Alperen Sengun hit piece from the inside. I’ll never forget it. Obviously a teenager that doesn’t speak English is going to suck balls in NBA pick and roll coverages initially, with KPJ and JG manning the guard spots.
@AroundTheWorld Stop! Stop! The argument that Sengun is a bad defender is already dead! (to those with a brain, and eyes) This is like clubbing baby seals!!!!
Would be really interesting to hear who that was, "internally". Hopefully one of the old, clueless coaching staff, and not someone who still is a decision maker with the Rockets. Who? Usual suspects: Silas, Lucas, KPJ, Kelly Iko, DuBose, Feigen,ESPN,CWood,Early Gatlin (he is the first changed the tune). Who is not: Ackerman, Stone, Eli W, Bradeux&Co, Ftank-Frank (he had some suspicions at the beginning), Robert land, PG13,JJReddick,Tim Legler,Hakeem the banned poster, ATW.
The further removed I get from it the more it fades into irrelevance.....but the coddling of a known domestic abuser and woman beater and the direct punishing of a player multiple times his talent level is something I still can't quite understand. Hilariously enough...Sengun just turned out to be Cinderella. And her much preferred step-sisters are now on trial and consistently relegated to warming the bench at the end of games.
I disagree with "Cinderella" part. If you check his story you will find that he is a certain project. The father asked to a coach to teach basketball to his son (Alp's older brother), the coach decided it was too late for the old one but the perfect time for the younger, taught him to play in every position, trained him to tackle every possible difficulties, the kid played always in ignorable teams (including tanking Rockets), never given a chance to be spoiled. He is a challenger. As he fought against the less-salty Black Sea's brutal waves in his childhood, he still fights (in a smooth way). Just waiting more Tari minutes/energy to make things easier for him.
