    This is true. Force feeding KD and KD getting the ball naturally from a Sengun kickout would result in the same amount of points I feel. Issue is that SenHub gets stuffed too often by random players.

    Senhub has the same problem it had last year. Sengun takes too long to get into his move and the double team comes late in the shot clock, so it turns into a turnover or a forced shot. Senhub would be the way to go this year, if he could make the adjustment to force the action sooner in the shot clock.

    Senhub doesn't work if it's initiated from the 3pt line. He needs to get the ball closer to the basket.

    I still think a Durant-Sengun PnR would be the best offense we could get out of the two guys. Spam it until teams adjust to it. It utilizes the strengths of both players and free up shooters and cutters on the wing. They did it a few times, not nearly enough.

    Seriously how do you make one of these without doing THE signature move

    The 2 feet under the basket fadeaway layup is legendary.

    Sengun is the king of rebounds that come right to him without him having to jump, reach, run to it, or block out. Anything else will go to an opponent in the neighborhood, including balls going through his hands or passing right by him as he does his “let me stare at the opponent while blocking him out”.

    Dude is a slow sloppy ball hog that doesn’t box out or play defense. He also holds the ball too long before making a decision. The Rockets need to sell high on him but they won’t. I hope someone gets fired

    Absolutely embarrassed himself and he’s upset he didn’t make the allstar team? LMFAO. Compounds it by b****ing and getting tossed out after he was abused yet again. That’ll teach them, Alpi. Better to keep driving to the hoop and get stripped or blocked again and again than develop a viable jump shot.

    he played like **** but ngl i like the fight in him

    Didn't like when he b****ed at jabari for his blatant missed defensive assignment that led to the open dunk

    Here comes the roaches. Wonder if they’ll scurry over to Durant or Amen? Reed for sure.

    Not going to argue that any more. I had high hopes for him but he is what he is. He will feast on scrub defenders or guys who haven’t seen his moves but other than that the too many holes in his game make him a guy who can be no more than a role player if you want to win a championship. Can’t shoot, turnover prone, mediocre at best rebounder, plays defense only when in the mood …

    Like I said dummy, just a souped up Sabonis.

    Every other game is a 5/14 disasterclass. He's a center that can't play defense and an offensive hub that can't shoot.. That archetype never wins ****.
