    Assuming we use our draft pick(s), I'm very much hoping we bring in shooters. There's a couple sharpshooters in this draft that'd look great here and help spacing a lot.

    What we don't need is any more of the very athletic but streaky or bad shooting guys, of which there are also a couple in this draft

    If other players hit open shots it will work.

    We clearly need more shooters. I still think Jabari is underused.

    Some off ball screening schemes would help Sengun better anticipate where his teammates are going. In the current state of our offense, it's either lack of schemes or lack of execution, probably a little of both.

    Schemes need to be practiced, especially with so many inexperienced guys. I know they are still experimenting with different lineups. Amen and Cam are only incorporated relatively recently. So I'm hoping they will do something in the offseason.

    I don't care if Sengun is double, triple, quadruple teamed...Without looking to score, he needs play better. Last night, he was terrible...like Jalen terrible!

    He is a member of the infamous "D-List" I guess.

    I don't see any post from that poster. Less is more.

    Two things:

    1) Ime has discouraged Sengun from making trick passes. I do not get that. Let Alpi make decisions on where the ball goes. If it takes a trick pass to get the ball there then so be it. This has affected his assist numbers as much as the missed shots when he kicks it outside.. The trick passes can help open up Alpi somewhat since the defense has to respect that aspect of his game. If they know he isn't going to do that then they can fully commit to double and triple guarding him.

    2) They need to get more people cutting to the basket for these passes when they double and triple Sengun. He is great at finding cutters.

    When Udoka banned Alp to make fancy passes, he immediately killed the "joy" part of the game. The kid was a walking highlight.

    Give him Stephen King's Shining:

    "All works and no plays makes Alp a dull boy".

    Alpi should tryout for the Harlem Globetrotters. He could play for the next 60 years and almost never lose. And the Globetrotters get all the calls from the officials.

    Alp means Knight, a military title. Then, Washington Generals will be better destination than Harlem.

    Sengun's play has been comical, but you're too busy blaming Jalen to notice

    THIS is what infuriates ppl about SOFs. Excuses!!

    You just got through going on a slanderous tirade on Jalen Green. Sengun's clearly coming back to his terrible defense & lazy turnovers play, and now you're blaming the coach? Its Lme's fault!! Dude you guys are the worst. How about you just say Sengun's playing like trash

    A fancy a pass is a very bad!

    This is how I envision most Sengunatics.

    When we were student at Hampstead, Sacha was living in Northway and was joining us when we need someone to play 5-5 football. He was a such a clever kid, 6-7 years younger than us. It is a pity to see he made a such a low level comedy to be used your type of people. What a waste.

    Do you think that you were maybe his inspiration for Borat?
