Nikola Jokic thinks Silas should run more offense through Alperen Sengun

Our biggest issue now is that Silas thinks KPJ is Luka because of that 50 point game and now he wants to run everything through KPJ.

 

Yeah, he thinks KPJ is Harden or Luka but he is not. He is a good player who can average almost 20 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists a game but he is not a Harden or Luka who can average 30 points a game and win games at the end of regulation.

 

Is there any chance for link?

 

almost every team is designed to be a copycat golden state...analytics ruins all fun and excitement, the main reasons to watch any sports.

 

I don't think running whole offense through a single player will work in any team if the counterparts are little bit clever. Jokic,Doncic,Harden included. The best model might be current Boston model with a creative center: Tatum,Brown,Smart,Holford the PF and a skilfull C instead of R.Williams.

Rockets have 4 potential players for this system: JGreen,Sengun,Jabari and Tari. Draft or sign a real PG and adjust the rest:KPJ/KJM and the others.Which one the opponents could stop. Run through some of them in any given game in accordance with opponent' weaknesses.

Current day Denver has no chance at semi-final/finals level. As I posted before the game: lock-up Murray and put a center over Jokic till fouling out, Denver is very limited against to contenders(I am talking about real team, not about defensively poor, EGordon/Nix/Matthews stacked team).

Sengun should not be highest scoring player in this team but should be the highest assisting one. He has potential, wisdom and vision. Nuggets commentators stated that Jokic was angry at the 3rd/4th quarter because of Sengun's rebounding/scoring,etc.. Quite likely they know Jokic much better than the other basketball followers. That was the reason Jokic was trying something extra at the final period such as 3pt,..But they did not mention Sengun's assists were making Jokic angry.Why not.

Sengun should be 20/12/8 next season and JGreen 28 ppg and 6th man KPJ 22 ppg. Considering both Jabari and Tari can contribute as 15/10 players plus the new PG, the future is bright for Rockets. Scoring/rebounding/assisting core, ready to become champions in 2026.If any of them fail in a given day,the others will rise to the occasion and KPJ/KJM led bench will be great. Alpi+Jabari+Tari all have winning mentality, JGreen will learn from them.

The only concern is as Draymond Green stated: "Early bad habits destroys the careers". Sengun should assist, JGreen has to get winning mentality, Tari should practice lay-ups,KPJ should be taught his position in the team,Jabari should learn not to push others from the back. If these happens, this group will be invincibles when a real PG and a decent HC joins them.
