    The major negative I see so far with Al P that keeps him from playing more minutes is his lack of conditioning. Watch him closely and you'll see him with his hands on his knees more than other players.

    Glad to see him as a main initiator on offense. When mature, this team can exploit major weaknesses that other teams have. Whether it be via isolation, PnR, or Jokic style.

    Jabari, Eason, Tate, and KMJ can theirs via hustle and intangibles. Wish we wouldn't focus so much on offensive rebounds and get back faster on D, but that's more of a coaching decision.

    If it clicks next year for green and we hit in the draft we can start to get really excited.

    Claiming that this early might be a thought crime in this zone. Be careful, thought police may come to your door soon.

    Silas should be giving Sengun more minutes and letting him play through bad games consistently. Because he has a shorter lease on Sengun, you see this small sample size that is biased (he gets to play more if he's playing great). We actually don't know Sengun's true performance playing consistent minutes (30-32) and we might never be able to with Silas as HC.

    Dude says one legitimate criticism of Sengun, something that is completely normal for young post players to deal with, and you lash out unreasonably and then take shots at a player who wasn’t even mentioned.

    You are the absolute worst. We get it. You love Sengun and any reasonable critique of him will be met with tantrums and spamming of the board. You hate Silas. And you hate tanking.

    We all get it. You have repeated all of this same crap ad nauseam.

    Get a new hobby. Make some friends. Go for a walk.

    I like Sengun a lot, I think he’s part of our core going forward. But you and posters of your ilk have polluted this board with your insanity and verbal diarrhea to the point where one can’t even make a reasonable critique of a talented young player.

    Wish we could that info from an actual news source. That is possible but supposed lack of conditioning is just a speculation at this point. Last season, I heard that from Sengun once he was giving an interview in which he complained how exhausting for him to travel all the time for away games. I suppose he got used to that and other things revolving around high tempo practices, which are completely another level compared to European counterparts.

    A journalist may enlighten us on that hopefully.

    why you act like criticizing jalen for being a trash 3 pt and trash midrage shooter and having neither back to the basket nor any semblance of postup game is not a valid criticism of jalen green?

    may journalist also enlighten us on how one is supposed to improve conditioning sitting on the bench...my understanding is that the more you play the better conditioned you are...this is how harden used to get himself in shape after he would come to training camp out of shape...

    conditioning issue was a scam from the day 1....alpi occasionally played 25, 28 minutes something games even in his first month here....with no problems...and he played well in those games, better in fact than in the 6 minutes games or 12 minutes games

    At least it's getting to the point where the rest of the forum is getting completely tired of their **** I guess. But then that particular troll has been that way since last season so I doubt they'll change unless they're banned. Maybe some of the newer ones can be redeemed if they just come back down to reality and stop exploding into incoherent rage every time somebody offers valid criticism.
