    That's when you were 19... Sengun was born in 2002 gramps

    He's been VR streaming Mia Kalifa gangbangs in 8k HDR 120fps with fiber optic internet speeds since he was 9



    You have so much catching up to do, better talk to @Jontro to get a better grasp of what the kids are up to these days

    You misunderstand. An old catalog would still do it for a 19yo.

    Mia Khalifa was never in a gang bang and stopped doing p*rn in 2015… @Jontro please inform this old man who’s hot in p*rn right now.

    If you watch his initial interview when drafted by the Thunder his body language and level of enthusiasm is quite different lol. He seemed disinterested and negative at the Rockets press conference. This is probably because he thought he was going to be a featured guy on a thin thunder team but now find himself on a crowded Rocket team with multiple scoring options and another big man in front of him in the pecking order. Lol

    I hope she retires a Rocket. It showcases Sengun's IQ. Most ballers will just hire some nerd to do the translating. Sengun spent time researching and vetting applicants for this position.

    How accurate is it to interpret the player's intentions due to his body language? Understanding that unhappy or happy just from a video...

    No player who gets the opportunity to play for any NBA team can be unhappy. It will be best for him and the team to be in an ambience where he can compete for jersey here. He could go to Thunder and be the king of empty stats but I'd rather he really fight to achieve something here. I'm sure if you ask him, he'll say the same. Also, I don't think not being able to go to Thunder really disappointed him. If there's one thing he's disappointed about, it's that he wasn't selected from the lottery, regardless of the any team.

    By the way, I think it is not right to talk about these issues and to be prejudiced anymore. As a result, he is now a Rocket and will fight for this team.

    dude relax. I am just basing off body language, facial expressions, and tone as these things communicate loudly. What is the truth I can’t say with 100% confidence but the two reactions are quite different if you watch it. I just find it interesting. Hopefully he is positive, fits in and does well.

    Olynyk isn't coming back, Theis could be the starter at the beginning of the season, but I don't know if he'd be good enough to hold the job all season. Sengun is the most NBA ready pick we got this season.

    Yeah, I think there was definitely some heavy vetting between Sengun and his now-translator.

    You said "came with". Did she? I imagine he did, but, you know, was she smoking a cigarette and eating a ham sandwich afterward so to speak?

    The Rockets traded two future firsts for him. Stone said they were trying to trade up to 6-16 and Sengun was THE target. Shows how much the Rockets value him. He's going to get every opportunity to succeed here.
