    I didn't really understand why people argued for 3 pages whether Wemby is center or not.

    As of today, he's not better than Alpi. Can he be better than Alpi? If he stays healthy, sure.

    But there's nothing to discuss until Wemby humiliates Alpi, like Alpi humiliated him.

    If Wemby stays healthy there is no path for Sengun to be better. He will be one of the greatest defensive players ever if he stays healthy.

    Him stating healthy is a big if though. Though I've heard he was trained young with things like yoga to be flexible to avoid injury. He does have wiggle and flexibility I've never seen of a dude that long.



    This is the stuff that will prevent him from having a injury riddled career

    I mean rookie wemby was better than 3rd year sengun, unless he's injured there's no shot sengun is better this year.

    Not offensively.

    Defensively, absolutely.

    of course not, nothing is gonna get a consensus, especially on a rockets forum. It just is what it is though, whether people are willing to admit it or not.

    Perhaps, but I dont care. What I care about is which team is better. If the Spurs are the better team this coming year, something has gone wrong for the Rockets.

    Oh of course, they’re a horrifically built team and have probably the worst coach in the league at this point, if the rockets are worse that would be embarrassing

    You sounds like your opinion is fact ("what it is") and everybody else's not matching yours doesn't matter.

    Yup, everything in sports is in opinion. If you think jokic is better than nix it’s just an opinion, nothing more.

    Don't argue with people who are being purposely obtuse.

    Nah, all cool. Everyone's entitled to their opinions.

    In my opinion players like Chet and Wemby are destined to be food for players like Jokic and Alpi. They're both great help defenders and rim protectors, but we see how they get abused one-on-one.
