    It's crazy that there is a non-zero chance that we are in a position to draft him or another lottery stud after how awesome our year has been so far.

    Thread is channeling its best Shaq impression.
    Shengoon reminds me of Pau. Lakers should trade for him.
    Shengoon reminds of a Baby Jockitch.
    Shengoon reminds me of the big fundamental. He knows where to go with the ball beat you off the dribble for the hook.
    Shengoon reminds me of Dino Radja. Kenny, you don't know him? Played for the celtics.
    Shengoon reminds me of Toni Kukoc dribbling to set up the offense.

    I think that's all of them from Shaq.

    He had the soft touch tonight. More confident and focused.

    He might be a special 4 who has great handles, passing, rebounding, iq lacking the usual athleticism of the 4s.

    He was playing physical tonight and i loved every bit of it.

    That spin move and dunk even stopped my friend and made him say "ohhhh shiit". He couldnt name 3 basketball players to ever play but was impressed and hyped.

    With the effectiveness of Sengun as a PF in the double big lineup it makes you wonder what other Centers could take on the role longer term.

    At a quick glance it seems like Zubac would be the BEST fit in terms of age/experience, salary expectation, and productivity.

    Others I think could be worth kicking the tires on:
    Jalen Duren
    Walker Kessler
    Mark Williams
    Jakob Poetl

    We need spacing and defense along with Sengun. Kessler can fit in with Sengun. Our main need is length , 3 point shooting and perimeter defense though.

    Make or miss, every time he touched the ball, he abused Holmgren tonight.

    Holmgren was too weak for him, Hartenstein was too slow

    Can Tilman talk to Trump about getting Alpy's parents permanent residency so they can be at every game?

    Some haven’t yet learned to avoid setting a ceiling for a player like Sengun.

    As Giannis put it, the sky’s the limit for him.

    Someone quicker than him. A guy who can guard 1-3 effectively apart from Amen Thompson, with a better jumper. A replacement for FVV. Reed is ok, but he's short and he lacks length.

    The weird thing is that current Mobley would be the ideal Sengun pairing. But I strongly believe the Rockets would have draft both. If they selected Mobley over Green, they would not gone for Sengun.

    The Rockets clutch stats all season have not made much sense to me.

    Their half court 4th quarter offense sets are so basic or appear chaotic.

    I guess I'm just underrating how effective they are defensively and on the glass in the last 5 minutes.
