    Too high up as a lob threat

    lol to anyone who said Sengun would have to sit out the end of games due to his defense.

    My favorite statistic from Sengun so far: on 4.6 FGA from 3-10 feet out, he's shooting 62%. Nikola Jokic at the same age shot 60% on 3.2 attempts per game.

    the push shot has been working surprisingly and suspiciously well.

    Does Sengun practice free throws?

    That's really one thing he needs to fix. Hope Ben Sullivan can help him there.

    Sengun's value is magnified by how awful his back up is (Landale).

    Plus/Minus among starters in last nights game:

    Dillon Brooks (limited minutes)
    Jalen Green
    A. Sengun
    Jabari Smith
    Fred VanVleet

    Only (+) was Brooks, largely due to foul trouble.

    Bench:

    Jeff Green
    Aaron Holiday
    Jock Landale
    Jae'Sean Tate
    Tari Eason

    Only (-) was Eason

    Alpi was a beast last night, particularly considering he was questionable to even play. He and Fred put the team on their shoulders and refused to lose :cool:

    Lopez would be a great backup center.

    Just realized the extent to which the team's frontcourt has been horrible at the free throw line thus far this season:

    Jabari - 55.6 FT%
    Sengun - 57.1 FT%

    I'd like to think both guys are far better shooters than that.

    Agreed. Needs to be fixed asap.

    I wonder if it's fatigue, lack of focus, not enough practice, or what.

    He is just too nice and is giving the haters something to talk about.
