Alperen Sengun is the Rockets' franchise player

I was discussing the whining, which is indeed more prevalent in European players.

And I'm sure as shiet not making excuses for him.
Read my posts.
I want him dealt.

Seems you're stupid and/or looking for a fight.

Either way, I'd be happy to oblige with a lesson.

: )_

 

We all have our personal assessment of Reed Sheppard, pro or con. However, the biggest question is, do we agree with Stone that Reed is or will become the best player in that draft?

Ahead of Castle, Cain, Bezilus, George, etc.

I believe the Rockets are at a cross road and this off season is key; do they stand pat w/the young core or make trades. And if Stone is making those decisions, should we TRUST his player assessment?

Personally, Im not a Reed fan but even if I were, I can not say in clear conscience that he was the BEST PLAYER in that draft.

 

I'm not so sure the Rockets org sees it this way. I believe they view this season as an anomaly and not as a continuation of the previous season's team/success. FVV, DFS, Adams, Twitter, literally nobody with decent ball handling for an entire season, each of those compounding on each other making it impossible to build any semblance of a "team." If FVV comes back healthy, it fixes a ton of our problems.

 

OK, one more year without substantial improvement and I will probably be with you. A team needs "valuable roll players". Character matters, too. During the dismal LA series Amen said Alperen rallied the team that it was not over when they rallied to win iirc two games.

 

33 yr old FVV coming off a knee injury is going to fix all of the Rockets problems?

 

Yeah, it makes no sense. He had regressed tremendously his last healthy season. You really think he's going to come back and right this ship after a serious knee injury/surgery? It's delusional.

 

I got to watch him play the first 25 games, preferably against Playoff teams in the West, don't trust him yet.

Delusion, frustration and desperation sit in the same boat, and the Captains named Rafael and Ime.

 

He had a poor shooting year and a bum ankle. He did not regress “tremendously.” And still, nobody can deny he was the best and safest ball handler on our roster.

 

Did I say all? Or did I explicitly say “a ton of our problems?” It’s not 2002. ACL tears are not career enders like they used to be. And FVV didn’t rely on athleticism. And he’ll technically come back at 32, turning 33 in Feb.

@hlmbasketball
Quoted wrong post.

 

or maybe not. Someone else says from last year?

 

Meanwhile Reed is still learning how to make pastries with his GF

Good for Senguin tbh

 

And building up strength with Steve-O and some MAGA bois

 

Judging by the results, pretty sure at this point they aren't even coaching, just going there for vacation.

 

Until I see it in a game, it means nothing! Remember this guy practicing 3's?

 

ALL and a TON OF are extremely close, so excuse us if we confused the two. However, FVV will be 32 or 33 yrs old going into this coming season and coming off a major injury.

I do not think its wise for Ime nor Rafael to count on him to being the full time starter, especially since he has missed time previously for other injuries.

 

I'd prefer including FVV's expiring $25,000,000 in a trade. The problem being, Ime Udoka has too solid of a bromance going on with FVV, and I don't know if Stone has the cojones to "Billy-Bean" him:

 

No sir. You agree he needs to be dealt for "better guidance". He should've been guiding himself to improving his defense & outside shooting by now. Its nobody's job to guide a so called leader & franchise player. Since he's neither he needs to be traded for a defensive big that provides better spacing.

 

Sengun took a three pointer sometime in March and the coach pulled him.

Ime Udoka has done irreversible damage to some player's confidence levels.

 

Year 16 of Alpi…my body is ready.
