    1 out of 7....thats the number....Rockets made only 1 out of 7 assist attempts Alpi made...THAT'S THE PROBLEM!!!!!!

    Edit:I meant in-n-out game. 1 3-point shot out of 7 attempts

    The game will only get easier for Alpi despite all the game planning he faces. He will score at will once he adds a more consistent 3-point range and a FT jumper. His defensive intensity is already improving.

    His passing/assist numbers will look better once the GM gets another shooter on the court with him. And his rebounding ... that's already off the charts. All-star level.

    All in all, it's pretty remarkable for a supposedly undersized center.

    He could easily average another rebound or two right now by going for the easy ones however if a teammate is around he always lets them get the easy ones.

    At least he does not really look undersized, 25% are bigger....

    He looks like a PF/C hybrid that is 6'11.

    Hell no, if Hakeem was not a true C, I dont know who has ever been and I know all significant NBA players ever. He is The C and some.

    Dude missed 2 FTs in a row then Utah players got confused and Clarkson missed an easy bucket.

    That's why people call him Wizard.

    He also plays mind games.

    Agreed. I think he and Anthony Davis look each other eye to eye. Now if Alpi could develop Davis's timing on D... wow.

    He probably does not have the physical wingspan and length but he can make grounds on dexterity.

    This is the most ridiculous stat I have seen this year. Just go look at the 5 man line ups with this combination. The first 11 of them are all positive except for one neutral -0.1, all playing at least 7 minutes. The 7 units with most minutes have at worst 102.3 defensive rating in a total of 127 minutes. A lot of 5 man lineups with +30 net rating. Just crazy.

    edit: this filtering filters out Jeff green as well but the point stands.
