    This really depends on situation.

    Close game, Rockets holding lead then having 5 best switchable players makes more sense.

    Close game, opposing team with lead - keeping Sengun on floor makes more sense.

    Sengun really needs to work on his FTs considering the amount of fouls he draws whenever he plays

    Was trying to figure out on that breakaway dunk if Alpie purposely slowed down to try and get the and1 or if he's just slow! lol

    “Centers who playmake are HUGE for offensive efficiency. High-Value Assists (AST resulting in open shots, layups, FTs) and Screen AST give context to which centers are playmaking on/off-ball. High: Many HV/AST Low: No HV/AST Left: Meh Screener Right: Screen King WHAT STANDS OUT?” (@NBA_University)

    not sure how this action has ended but alpi is dangerous as ball handler in transition (as well as in halfcourt)....

    Game day, Turkey against Poland. Coach Ataman didn't bother give minutes to Alpi/Larkin/Sanli trio last week. Hope we can watch them today.

    What I'm going to look:
    -Pick and roll: How Larkin-Alpi combo will work
    -Alpi against Alexander Balcerowski. The Polish guy, 7'2", 21 years old and reminds me a raw example of someone between (young) Rik Smits and (young) Pau Gasol. He is not there yet but to watch Alpi against to a real tall guy and evaluating Balcerowski as a future NBA center back-up might be cheerful.
