    I think he's been good, all these missed shots are because of fouls. Easily, 90% of these missed shots are fouls. We could go and look back at these and some of these were obvious fouls, his stats look a lot better if he was instead getting Free Throws instead of those missed shots.

    Coaching is critical in prep work and practice if this team is so bad how did they win 52 games? I dunno what kind of brain drain happened with the coaching staff but clearly Udoka doesnt know what he is doing unlike when he had guys like Tiago Splitter, Will Hardy and Joe Mazulla who prod did all the work for him.

    Rockets thought they could built a championship team around a role player Sengun.

    Being young is not flawed. He didn't have the wriggle room to make a serious move mid-season. Some of you fans think it is really easy to make roster moves.

    No he wouldn't because of Ime Udoka can't Coach on offense. So many times versus the Warriors Fred VanVleet got the touches and shots and Jalen Green was excluded out of the offense. I never felt so bad for Jalen and hated Ime Udoka since.

    Peace out y'all.

    I feel sorry for anyone who thought having Ime as coach was less to overcome than missing Luka and AR.

    Players Stone have drafted have had moments of showing great potential. Sengun included.

    Why havent any of these guys taken a big leap?

    I mean, is it really all on the GMs players who have shown NBA level skills?

    Or the system/development who hasnt found a way to consistently highlight those skills?

    You gotta have really bad luck to have this many guys flash high level potential and not have any of them be worth much....

    Or a coach and system who isnt getting the most out of them.
