    I don't know why we wouldn't? Sengun needs playing time. He's part of the long term plans for this team and it's obvious he belongs on the court now.

    Sengun seems to be underrated as a defender. He rotates well, recovers once he's beaten, disrupts passing lanes and gets his hands on the basketball.

    Theis is ... stronger, I guess? I can't see anything else he's got over Alpy

    I like what I saw. I'm gonna be honest, I had only seen Theis play once. Didn't know he had a soft touch and I like how he has taken a leadership role. pleasantly surprised. That said, those 3s belong to Wood!

    I think Theis has a role on the team as the 3rd big and defensive sub. 20 min a game is good.
    Would be same on a contending team too.
    But Alp needs more PT than him, he can be special

    I've seen 5 minutes of Sengun and know he's better than Theis at least.

    Shorter Pau with better defense would be high side. Baby Sabonis that can play D

    True but he’ll get there. I like him so far. All the corniness is gone from the booth.

    Somebody must of heard all our b****ing about that credit karma patch. The new one is still lame but much better. That platinum Nike patch looks like shut though.

    Jalen and Kp look nice. Sengun showing his passing. Fun half.

    The box score is kind of a wash. KMJ/Tate/Sengun/Nwaba should maybe get more shots.
