    What do you eye him as? 6'3 in shoes? That means KPj is as well, right?

    6'5-6'6"

    Standing next to guys like Jaylen Brown in his last games of the season where he's neck and neck in terms of height. He definitely doesn't look 6:4" out there.

    Remember he looked like he almost had an entire head on Ivey who's listed at 6'3" in one of the last games of the season.

    Also recent photo of him only slightly being in front of Josh where it looks like he's 6 inches taller but when you adjust for being on different planes its more of a 3 inch difference

    Jalen is probably 6’4 barefoot and close to 6’5.5/6’6 in shoes.
    Average wingspan but standing reach should be better, he has no neck so he plays taller than his height

    People tend to give up on players on this board so quickly they only see the negative side never the positive side of the players. Bunch of idiots

    Oh, I wasn’t paying attention to the picks. I like Duren and Ivey more than Sengun, but the picks definitely shifts things

    Alp is still miles better than both of the players. But I could listen to both for Alp

    Yeah, that’s what i meant. I wouldn’t trade him straight up for either guy. You know I want Sengun traded, but I’m more interested in an establish star

    You are of course entitled to your opinion, but you will see in the coming years that you have been seriously underrating Sengun.

    The trade you suggested is like the equivalent of Denver having traded Jokic and a few picks for Willie Cauley-Stein and D'Angelo Russell in 2016.

    Of course, they are happy they never did such a thing.

    Skill and basketball IQ >>>>> hops

    Yeah, I wish people would take the same approach with ALL players, just not the ones their fans of.

    Players really don't start to ascend until they are 25yrs old.

    90% of the posts here have agendas behind them.

    Do you think guys like Ivey and Whitmore are highly touted because of "hops"? You're knowledge of the nba outside of Sengun is rather sad.

    Ivey was definitely over hyped due to athleticism....and he turned out to be embarrassingly inefficient on offense and hilariously incompetent defensively....which means you should be a REALLY big fan of him as a Jalen Green disciple.

    He's EXACTLY your type.

    It’s an inch to inch and a half usually.
    If he’s 6’6 in shoes I could see him 6’4.5 barefoot
