    Ecstatic about this pick.

    We have a BRILLIANT track record as a franchise when drafting Turkish big men in the teens. Cannot wait to see Sengun play in the NBA

    Any chance the Rockets are gonna feed Sengun and Green some HGH and squeeze a couple more inches out of them?:D

    Come on, lets be real. The NBA has never had a PED scandal because they encourage (safe) use of it. So, what do y'all say?;)

    If they don't let Wall nose his way in and take the opportunity away from these guys, I will be ready to ride or die watching these guys give it their all on the court.

    If they do let Wall get a single minute of game time.... f*ck me.

    Ive been saying for a couple weeks though that I think it’s KPJ who looks out talented and ends up going into a 6th man role… which might be a better fit for him career wise anyways long term.

    I wouldn’t get too discouraged about Wall starting the season as a starter. He’ll be injured by Christmas anyways. If they can trade him and EG by training camp great but I wouldn’t freak if Wall is starting… and I’m confident Green will be starting over KPJ and Gordon. I think he’s that talented and it might benefit him better long term to not be put alongside KPJ for too many minutes.

    I’m curious was the trade up effort to 13th attempting to get Sengun?

    My guess is that Sengun will lay waste to the G-League and force his way onto the Rockets bench before the season ends. If Garuba comes over, and isn't stashed (my fear), he'll be in Houston right away, in my opinion.

    Yeah , don't think I ever saw Scola do a 360 dunk .... but this guys footwork is very Scola like. Offensively he's really good , probably the most complete offensive big.


    Question is , can he defend anyone ?

    His fetish is not spending the picks, but knowing how many he has. :D

    Sengun knows what's really important in a good translator.

    Oh. Of course he's always with his translator. Carry on, Alpy.
