    Well, the usual crew would have traded him for AJ Griffin, so...yeah.

    What stands out?

    Well, for me, since league average eFG% is 54.7%, the hot-potato shot must be is one of the hardest shots there is, if only two players shoot better than average.

    Yes.

    And our franchise player is one of the best players in the league in the clutch, under pressure.

    Context man.

    Sengun purposefully jukes the seconds away, and sometimes it gets under 4 seconds. I wouldn’t call his normal MO “clutch”. To be in that list is impressive, but not so much for a low post scorer, as for CJ, Jalen, PG.

    In another era, there would be a lot of post players in that list.

    It’s like anything eFG%-related. You expect low-post scorers to have a larger presence in the stats.

    I'm reading Sengun and Knicks have mutual interest -- Alperen is ready to live in a world class city without constant power outages.

    Do you have any data to back up that assertion?

    To answer my own question - I have some data.

    https://www.nba.com/stats/players/touches?SeasonType=Regular Season&TeamID=1610612745&dir=D&sort=TIME_OF_POSS

    Come again - who "jukes the seconds away"?

    For comparison, Sengun's time of possession is HALF that of Jokic.

    Why would it be more or less impressive based on the position the player plays?

    Lulz … Nothing I said is a criticism of Sengun.

    besides, @Os Trigonum already reported me today for a previous Sengun violation.

    He is also being asked to purposely bait defenses by the Ime guy.
    I would like it to happen 'organically' not forced.

    Since you're being a prick about Sengun (as usual), you do know the NBA has an official stat for "clutch, under pressure", it's called the "Clutch" stat, lulz, not the stat you're using.

    I don't think you want to look that up wrt Sengun's eFG% vs the league (nor vs Jalen, FVV, or Brooks,,,lulz), nor do you want to look that up wrt my assertion that low-post players will typically have higher eFG% vs the league in pretty much anything measuring that stat.

    that said, Sengun is Top 10 in ppg in Clutch Time. So, he is our Main Man, regardless!!

    Man, still love my Rockets, but I am so glad to be quit of Houston and not having to deal with that bullsh*t every year anymore.
