    There were enough reports that Morey treated him like a diva on road games prior to that one year, he could show up late to film sessions.

    Yes, I am saying this team has zero perennial all-stars. To go where they need to go they need to have more than just one borderline all-star (Sengun). You can love the wealth of talent we have, but very few teams in NBA history have won the Finals with zero or one borderline all-star. We desperately need a Zion or someone else (but not a 36 year old) to get us over the hump towards championship basketball.

    Sengun is MUCH better than Zion, and will have a much better career.

    I hope he does and would certainly not include him in a trade as he is a legit building block. Sengun at Center and Zion at PF would be a BEAST of a team to beat.

    Sengun
    Zion
    Eason
    Sheppard
    FVV
    Now that’s a great team and you could have Amen & Cam fight for 6th man of the year!

    Reed Sheppard just rose himself to being a starter after 2 preseason games? And a front court of Sengun & Zion easily the worst spacing in the NBA. I don't want ANY of you idiots putting together a team for anybody

    Every opinion you have is stupidity, you shouldn’t really post anything about another’s opinion

    You don’t bench your best player for any one in that line up. Alp clears every player in that line up, by a lot.

    Is Sengun clearing a healthy Zion "by a lot"?

    Is Sengun clearing a consistent Jalen "by a lot"?

    Does Sengun even clear FVV by a lot?

    Can you be labeled a stan with such a certain opinion of Alpi here?

    Seems rather aggressive of a take.

    Alpi was the best player on the team last season. No need to exaggerate.

    Yes. Stats back it up, specially advanced metrics.
    And stop with the stan stuff, you’re the biggest Jalen only fan on this site. Sit this one out

    Stop what? Pushing back at unhinged claims.
    Go ahead and tell me some unhinged claims I make as a "Jalen stan". Don't confuse ferocity of defense with the level of claims. I never say anything about Jalen that isn't unreasonable. You can find quotes that suggest otherwise.

    But saying he's "a lot better than a healthy Zion is unhinged.

    I expect sengun to have a better career because of but he hasn’t come close to the heights that zion reached his 2nd season.

    It isn’t, for one you can’t find a healthy Zion. Two, Alp has better VORP/BPM/DRating/Rebounding/Defense and virtually identical in every other category-while being 2 years younger last season.
    That clears Zion.

    You can wish all you want, but facts are facts. Right now there isn’t a consistent Jalen or healthy Zion.
    You have had some pretty outlandish takes on Jalen. You defend him as if your life depends on it. It’s all projection. I want Jalen to be the guy we all think he can be (or in your case, your wet dream) but right now, Alp is without a doubt better than any of the players listed in that ridiculous lineup and know hater posted.
