    Got Jokic light, Kobe light, and Rasheed Lewis with defense. Just need to draft the tall athletic Rondo or Westbrook/Rose/Chris Paul hybrid. Team will be set then.

    When your world consists of 3&D and 90s basketball, it is hard to be right.

    My posting history is full of Sengun projections based on Jokic, well not! you can find none. But your posting history is full of bs against Jokic :D

    Talk about recency bias after writing pages following a miami win when all the stars aligned for miami to give them a 3 pt win :D

    His footwork and control are seriously underrated because he's such a flashy passer. I really hope Udoka's smart enough to run some real plays to give him post mismatches so he can do more of the bully ball. The vision and the passing will mean that if he can consistently draw doubles down low he'll create so many solid looks for everyone else as a result.

    He’s definitely the only player that draws double teams on this roster, which leads to defenses scrambling. At the same time, he causes our defense to scramble as well bc he needs help constantly. At least Ime will explore different coverages with him, unlike Silas

    Banchero and Sengun are about the same height.

    Only reason he needs help is because our backcourt has been even worse defensively and give opposing guards a free pass constantly

    My dude have you watched a single Green/Sengun pnr? Pretty much every time they pretty much pretend Sengun isn't even on the court and immediately double Green.

    Isn't Green's dfg%(fg% of players you immediately defend) lower than league average?

    What strikes me as I watch this video is that pretty soon, ALL of these announcers will be pronouncing this young man's name correctly.

    In that situation, yes. I’m mainly talking about in one on one iso situations. Everyone gets doubled at some point, but Sengun forced way more. I love Jalen and don’t like Sengun at all, so I’m not showing any favoritism here

    Yep he grew apparently. He just said in a interview (on Youtube) that his height is now 211 or 212 cm without shoes which is little over 6'11. Says he grew about 1.5 cm since last season. (10:25 but translation ting doesn't work)

    One on one iso situation for Sengun is when he is like 4 ft from the basket dude. Offensive gedgitt is a lot more than demanding attention only when you are in one specific spot of the floor.

    For Jalen, if you actually see how team defenses play him, he always has a primary defender and at least one long wing and/or big, often multiple hedging off their assignments to make sure Green's driving lanes are closed especially when guys like Sengun with zero range are hovering outside.
