    Why isn’t Sengun looking like a 19 yo rookie? Oh, he’s actually good.

    MDA would be the perfect coach for Jalen and Scoot.

    Mda would stunt our best player. Rather a coach better at developing passing big men.

    Did you actually watch the game Sengun was far from perfect, he looked like a rookie to me. He in most games is heading towards fouling out and he's going to have to fix that if he wants to get more than 24 minutes a night. Some rookies look better than others. Some look great in summer league some look great in preseason there's ups and downs. Its ridiculous that I have to explain this STILL .There are rookies that looked great in the preseason like Anthony Bennet only to disapear later. Steve nash averaged 2 or 3 points his rookie year. Dirk shot poorly his first year. I swear I have said a hundred times before on this website. There are pages and pages of NBA players who looked terrible their first year and then they became superstars later. You dont know and wont know in most cases til much later. Not everyone is Hakeem, Jordan, Luka and Lebron James. Most need time.

    I was praising his vertical, the catch was inconsequential.

    I have been a fan since 1972, this is far and away the worst team we have ever had.

    7 seconds or less Suns were one of the youngest teams in NBA.

    I hate to be the one to tell you this, but they are the exact same person.

    Only the situations are different.

    Time to recognize how wild it was to see this team win 6 in a row last season. An outlier.

    Just a reminder, year 2 Durant(better than any player we currently have) with a team mixed of super young promising prospects and journeymen vets(much like our current roster) managed a whopping 23 wins.

    Be prepared for Ls. Enjoy the (hopeful)incremental progress.

    Didn’t mean not a good fit with youth, but a lumbering “slow” big like Sengun.

    Guess silas is to use another season crawling back to his comfortable assistant coach position…n at the cost of wasting one crucial season for these kids to learn something real…smh, wish Stone could notice that as early as he can n dump the rookie coach before Christmas.

    its crazy seeing a bunch unknown Spurs run like a well-oiled machine compared to us. We look clueless out there. Silas is not providing the leadership these rooks need. I have never seen him yell or call a timeout.

    I did watch the game, and no Sengun was not perfect. He air balled a wide open 3 and still missed too many shots at the rim. But he still came away as the best player on the team, again. Funny how the #2 pick hasn’t looked good because he’s 19 years old and needs time, meanwhile Sengun is younger.
