    Barring injuries or dumbass owner fkery. Sengun is gonna be da greatest Turkish ever to grace the court/ wear a rocket jersey. Dude plays like a vet.

    Refusal to play him more mins is just evidence of incompetence by Silas

    its not only more minutes, other players need to trust sengun more, they need to look for him at every single possesion instead they become unpatient and start chucking , throwing him out of rhythm...they need to value possessions more... player who just decides hes just suddenly gonna chuck a 3pter over the hands of defenders 5 seconds in the shotclock doesnt value possesions...
    they need to learn the value of a single possession...

    it isnt just a matter of what is the efficient shot... possessions are a tool...psycho-physical tool, a tactical tool.... you denie the opponent the ball , you make them work, you make them run around, this is how you beat them sometimes...you instill the confidence in youre guys and make the opponent desperate and impatient...

    passing the ball around every single time(no exceptions) you also keep the entire team engaged, thats how you build chemistry and how you get them into rhythm...you can not expect someone to drive sucessfuly, or make a sucessful pass or score if he only touched the ball once and that was 5 minutes ago...

    TAKE THAT FOR DATA

    and his FT rate on the rockets is hardenesque...(i think its 8 FTs per 36)..
    and thats with garbage man usage rate and without even having a system designed around him and with no bs foul baiting and rule stretching calls

    hes the new harden!

    hahah nothing truly remarkable here just a quick pass to an open man....if only other players looked more to pass (and pass quickly!) to whoever is open instead of fancy dribbling the air out of ball....such an egoists!

    Thats why we Euros wanted Harden ball to stop. Its simple passing around here, pair that approach with amazing talent and you have beautiful bball

    They don't got the skills to make the pass. If that was Green or Wood throwing that pass from one corner to the other it would have either been stolen or gone out of bounds.

    Sengun on top of having great vision, is also fundentally skilled at making passes

    Definitely in favor of him anchoring the bench.

    He sees the geometry of the floor and where the pieces are.

    that as well, because they think hitting 30 footer is a pinnacle of basketball....lololol
    but really the emphasis in the tweet ( and drock post) was on the decision making...its mostly really simple....just pass it to the open man...doesnt matter if nothing happens at first..i remmeber dmo had that quality of quick passing....it immediately creates such a positive energy and engagement of the teammates....

    the other day i was at the playground where a very young team had a practice, they werent allowed to dribble and they werent allowed to score basket unless previously all the 5 teammates touched the ball...AMAZING!
    Silas need to introduce this excercise in their practice. pm this to him whoever knows him

    Our rookies are great....Sengun is going to be a Star!!! I really thought Garuba would be a defensive stopper, guard either centers or guards but he seem a step slow and lethargy....i'm shocked

    Just clarifying for my boy D Rock.

    Btw westerners does not assume Turkey heck even balkans are in europe .especially for Turkey middle easterns and causcasians also don't count the country part of their respected regions so my case is sengun is not from europe from the perception of neighbour countries . As i said before he is roman/ Ottoman ascendant and from centre of the old world.
