    Some still haven't come around, and may never. Or at least would never publicly say it.

    Indications:
    • Targeting Sengun to nitpick "mistakes"
    • Featuring good clips of other players, but almost never of Sengun
    • Ignoring historical records set and highlights of Sengun
    Still a lot of confirmation bias going on there.

    Jabari had a nice pocket pass to Alperen last game. That’s something I’d like to explore. That, and DHos for Jabari like Keegan Murray runs with Sabonis.

    On the topic of Jabari--I noticed today he is #4 in defensive rating among all qualified power forwards this season. dRTG is a bit flawed, but honestly when he went down we weren't stopping anybody, so I kind of believe that he's very important to our defense. Maybe we already have our defensive big to play next to Sengun and space the floor for him on the perimeter.

    I believe nobody ignored that one. The subsequent 23/19/14 trip dub, however...

    Social media guys need to post content regularly, so they repeat the same stuff over and over. He had said "Sengun is undeniable, he is our best guy yada yada yada" several times already before posting that.

    Rockets twitter? Big Christian Wood, Kevin Porter Jr., Jalen Green fans. You laugh but I’m being serious.

    You guys remember what they were saying about hiring Ime Udoka? Sengun was to be gone, right?

    Exactly what I think. He needs another year or two of physical development for it to really work though.

    If pictures speak a thousand words - this one says everything it needs to about the franchise needing to do everything they can to bring in lethal outside shooters to put on the court with Sengun, because they'd feast.

    It's not the talking. Watch his leg bend, its very inconsistent. Especially late in games when your spent, getting a nice bend helps with the entire shot.

    Sometimes it looks like he's almost locking his knees. I would hope his shooting coach is talking to him about this.

    It's really not rocket science. We need Reed Sheppard.

    LOL at James Piercey coming around.

    Just wait till Sengun has a subpar game, and he'll come out and brag about how he was right about Sengun all along and how it's impossible to win anything without rim protecting Big.

    He's a Canadian dude, and I think he should stick to hockey. Cuz he absolutely have no idea about basketball.
