Thanks for explaining through facts and figures. Yours was the kind of posts I want to see more here. Enlightened, grateful.
Yeah that's fair, it is a small sample size. KPJ has 51 minutes with Bruno vs 150 with Garuba and 314 with Sengun, Jalens minutes are very similar with each of the 3. We'll see if it holds, but I still stand by my belief that starting Fernando is the worst option. We can revisit this as Fernando gets more minutes. I strongly disagree with the Silas plan that Fernando is going to unlock an elite offense with his vertical spacing. I think he's the worst option of the 3.
Sengun needs to improve on defense. Right now he's a younger, better version of Enes Kanter with more of a post game but a worse rebounder.
I think Sengun knows he has to play Silas into having no choice but to start him. He’s doing just that against Jokic right now.
Sengun, but we really don't need extra threads for his fans to wank themselves off in tbh, they need no further encouragement.
There’s not one person (other than Bruno) that does not want Sengun to be the starter right now and I think it’s obvious you keep starting him for the time being. That being said the team needs him to not get in foul trouble, and to not be a liability on the defensive end. At 20 years old and limited physically it’s really hard as a starting center to perform that task. Capela was a question mark to his first two seasons too on reliability due to foul trouble. D-Mo definitely would still be in the league today if he could defend without fouling. Scola just learned to give up on trying super hard on D because he knew to never be a foul trouble liability as a big man in the nba. So we should continue on with this rotation for now, but it’s up to Sengun to prove he can defend without getting in foul trouble to screw around rotations. Because on offense he’s actually really important right now to being competitive at any level. Him and Jalen as a pick and roll combo have the potential to be our main offensive scheme that can make this team competitive again.
Yeah he's a lot like Kanter except with a much better post game, better handle, double the assist rate, double the block rate, double the steal rate, double the ability to get to the line and worse rebounding rate. They were both bad defenders when they were 20 yr old NBA big men. They're practically twins.
