    Anyone seeing this? Sengun PG...

    Rockets are infinitely better. Watch the game Stephen. Stop the nonsense.

    That Lerner girl can not be from Rockets media. They have no heart to ask that kind of questions, poor puppets.

    Youngest ever center with a triple double, youngest ever Rocket, too.

    I foresee Alpi breaking a lot of “youngest” records, especially at C.

    Surely his floor is where he is at the moment? (assuming zero development/improvement) I'd say Sabonis looks like a good projection for him in all honesty, a lot more similar in style than Jokic that's for sure.

    Nice of Silas to give his b*stard son the keys to the ol' Mustang for "a little bit" while the cooler older brother is out of town.

    Tell her to remind Feigen that "asking proper questions is the first and the most important task of any journalist"

    How many players have ever gotten their first triple double in 28 minutes?

    Kings lady (a former basketball player) said that "Center is the toughest position in basketball to be played by a young player" and praised Alpi after that.

    He is the youngest Center in NBA history to have a triple-double in his bag . Good boy, well done.

    Yet another game where the opposing big was perimeter based for a lot of their offensive possessions with Sengun on the court.

    As soon as Bruno came in Sabonis bodied him immediately at the bucket.

    Can someone explain to me just what exactly does Bruno bring?

    He doesn't bring a lob threat, especially when Silas doesn't have the IQ to play a different offense when he's in the game and he's relegated to running around the perimeter setting screens like Sengun is forced to do. He sure as hell doesn't bring good defense.

    Yep he literally plays on teh perimeter and shoots threes all day long. Watching his game why do people think he's a center. Closest thing to Durant I've seen. Just taller.

    Biggest takeaway from Kings game, no one knows exactly how tall Sengun is still, 6'10, 6'9, 6'11, but one thing we know for sure now, he is no shorter than Sabonis.

    Sengun/Wemby/Jabari will play as 3/4/5. A good one.
