    A perfect birthday present would be the Rockets locking up his franchise PG long term.

    No worries, TyTy will be on his rookie scale contract for 4 years.

    Good news for the RGV Vipers starting PG. He's got 4 years to improve enough to become an nba caliber bench player before he'll stop getting paid.

    Dudes are so hyped on TyTy. If we’re gonna be honest, he really didn’t do much in the SL lol. He had a few nice plays but that’s it

    Agreed. I have high hopes that one day he'll develop into a bench quality player though.

    Oh for sure! He’s the backup PG we need in the future. He needs time to develop with RGV. We drafted him to be a backup lol

    Is he a cornerstone?

    I think this year will let us know more but his deficiencies and lack of athleticism make you wonder.

    And he is not overly tall, he is a very good player though, but a cornerstone?

    Dunno yet.....but HAPPY BIRTHDAY to the smartest BBall IQ on the team.

    There isn’t a single player on the team without flaws. Sengun has shown special ability for his age, and has a special pedigree as a league mvp. If he can take a leap his second year, still the second youngest player on the team, I think he can prove to be one of the franchise players.

    Alperen should be allowed to do his full free throw prayer routine.

    There, I said it.
