    Too bad we don't run Adelman's triangle offense. Sengun would fit in that system like a glove.

    This is something I've noticed also. Sengun was an unknown coming into the league but he has certainly earned the respect of the other team's announcers. Ackerman and Hollins said that when they catch up with the other team's broadcast crew pre-game one of the first things they talk about is Al-P.

    Parsons had our fanbase and organization very excited too, though. I remember when Daryl Morey went on First Take and brought a cardboard cutout of Chandler Parsons with him to the set lol.

    He's also averaging 5.9 fouls per 36 minutes but yeah sure.

    So, you just don't let him play 37 minutes.

    Alperen Sengün is clever enough to know about his foul problems. I think he manage this different if he play more minutes. He is giving everything on the court at the short time he is playing. I wrote it 2 weeks before, that Houston start beeing a team. So i think they start there beeing competitive. I like to watch how this team start to win.
    And Wood is a strong player. He start understand that he can be difference of the game of Houston. And Alperen Sengün learns every day. Next season he will be a player who got much tripple doubles.

    the vaccine prolly left some consequences on his brain, but hes lucky to be back to normal life now(still with a triple mask tho), perhaps the booster doses will fix this bug....

    Al-P is the player that's been struggling a bit during the resurgence. What's the plan here? Stagger him and Wood so he can get 12 minutes a night? He's talented but he does have quite a few things to work on. Like everyone else on the team (except for Top 75 inductee Garrison Mathews).

    You think he’s been struggling? I thought he’s been quite productive in his limited playing time.

    Showcase Wood for trade.

    He seems like he tries to do too much at times, similar to KPJ. Unlike KPJ though, Sengun does have an innate ability to see things that others can't. He has a knack as a playmaker, just needs to be more in control. Still fouls a lot and struggles with position. I'm struggling a bit with this direction. Sengun is the future at the 5. Wood is best used at the 5. He's not a part of this team's future, so I'm guessing he's being showcased for a trade. At least I hope so.

    The last few wins have been fine but I'd still rather see Sengun getting 30-35 minutes a night instead of the consistent 12-15 Silas is giving him. I don't see how that happens with Wood here.
