    My post had nothing to do with Jalen creating for himself.
    I'm talking about having another guard/ball handler to take the pressure off of him. Someone else to pass it to when defenses lock in on him and get into him.

    And BTW, 100% of those stats you are listing were done with another ball handler on the court.

    You understand defenses won't play as tight if the threat of another ball hander/creator exists right? VS like the other night when he was the only guard on the court the defense really got into him because they knew if he passed it there was no one else that could do anything with the ball.

    Agreed.
    Bruno is stronger right now and can bang,
    But even if they are similar defensively. They’re worlds apart offensively

    Maybe it's semantics. You said Green needs another creator on the floor. Is a Derek Fisher type player a creator? No, he's more of just a competent pressure ball handler who shoots really well.

    So I guess it's the difference between thinking Green needs a creator or just a competent pressure ball handler.

    Nothing good ever happens when anyone on this team dribbles more than 4 times imo. Running the offense inside out probably means better offense for KPJ too.

    Green and Sengun pick and roll is consistently the best play in the game.

    This feels like when we were debating whether the offense should run through Yao or continue with the guard-dominant play of Francis and Mobley. Except this time "Francis" is the much inferior player to "Mobley" and "Yao".

    In other words this debate makes no sense. Obviously we should play more through Segun.

    All the world thinks Silas should run more offense through Alperen Sengun but Silas.

    Silas has great ambitions to be the worst head coach in NBA history.

    i beg to disagree..sengun may dribble as much as he likes...he never does it aimlessly ... purpose and decisiveness come naturaly and effortlessly to him...you never catch him not knowing what needs be done as soon as he receives the ball...and prolly even before it...

    Excuses!! It shouldn't matter who he's playing. Stop blaming who he's next too. Nobody blames who's playing next to KPJ. So why is Sengun different?

    LOL! The main argument of KPJ stans was that he plays with scrubs and that's why his stats were bad :).

    And you claimed when KJ, Bruno and Bari played together it looked like a different team, and I showed you that they had a net rating of -15.9. The conversation should have ended there but you can just ignore it and go on with your rant.

    What?
    Did you not understand the post?
    Every lineup with Jabari is bad defensively right now. So both Bruno and Alp are affected by it.
    Even still, Alp has a better rating than Bruno
