    It really was clear as day 4 years ago.

    Said before he'd played a single NBA game.

    There are a lot of people in and around the NBA who are not qualified for the jobs they have.

    Oh look, finally has defenders around him, and he's one of the better defensive big men in the league.

    Who could've possibly seen that coming?

    Pretty much every player has haters on Clutchfans. I don't think they need Clutch's endorsement to survive for a long, long time.

    Wow, this thread aged like fine wine :)

    The only area I would to see more improvement is the 3-points shots - he needs to make more attempts, especially when he has open looks, so he can get more confidence in his shot. He won’t be able to improve the ~27% accuracy by taking less than 1.5 shots per game. He showed improvement so far in his national team’s campaign and I hope to see it with the team in upcoming season as well.

    I saw Stone's interview recently, he said he tried to trade up immediately starting at pick 5 to draft Sengun.

    It makes me curious, so if Stone saw Sengun as someone who was worth pick #5, then why did Silas keep him buried on the bench? Any other #5 pick would be starting and would be mandated by the GM.

    I'm still of the mindset that Stone didn't know Sengun was going to be this good and now he's just doing PR speak to make himself look good.

    There is a reason that stone jettisoned Silas out of town as soon as he did…. Silas wasn’t a true coach he was weak and was trying to fit in with the KPJ / Green click.

    He's absolutely spewing garbage to make himself look smarter.

    I don't understand what you are saying. If haters gonna hate, they are going to campaign against the player they hate no matter if Clutch agrees with them or not. Posters like DD will continue to say Sengun is Scola literally no matter how Sengun actually plays.

    Clutch doesn't post much on CF. And his front page pieces are getting less and less frequent. Most of his opinions are posted on tweets.
