    Love Alpy but I can't stand cherry picked stats like this. You see it all the time in today's era.

    Don't reply to this idiot. Let the idiots write the idiotic comments. If you do not reply, he will soon stop writing on this page.

    I mentioned this before. There isn't as much movement in our offense as I wish we had. I know the P&R with Sengun are phenomenal, but like you said, there are still areas where the team is lacking and could do better. I'm pretty sure Jabari and Green could do more movement without the ball to get themselves found by Sengun.

    Goon is definitely the franchise player at the moment.

    I am watching a bit of the pathetic Bulls taking a late lead on MIL without Lavine and DeRozan, with Vuc only and complimentary guards like Caruso and Dosunmo... This is a Big Man league, and has been for the past 5 years. It was a guard league only in the late 2010s maybe...

    EDIT: The Bulls actually won..

    Spurs = Very, very tall
    Spurs = Very, very bad at defense.

    :D

    Who do you have over him?

    It's not about the stats at all. When you watch the games, as JJ Redick, PG13, Jokic, etc, do..., you can see all the different ways that Alperen can impact a game. He is an elite post creator who can control tempo. How many players in the history of basketball can do that?

    Mobley, for instance, hasn't a chance in hell of EVER controlling tempo. Might as well get Marcus Camby on the phone.

    How did Brook Lopez do? Lots of rebounds? I seem to remember @larsv8 thought he is a better rebounder than Alpi.

    I would take Mobley and Wagner for sure. Mobley for his defense and Wagner's all - around play.

    Fair enough. It is good to have you on the record. I like Evan Camby and Franz Schrempf as much as the next guy, but Alperen is absolutely in the conversation as the best player in that class.
    1. Alperen is a year younger than both of those guys and tracking a 21-9-6 season.
    2. When he is their age (next year) is it out of the realm of possibility that he is going for 25-10-8 on the regular? I am not saying that this will happen, but do you think that Camby or Detlef have that kind of realistic upside left in them?
    3. That is 4 points, 1 rebound, and 2 assists away from Alperen's current averages. :eek:
    4. Through 16 games played, Alperen is anchoring a top-10 defense, too. And the back half of the schedule gets a hell of a lot easier...
    5. And also, Alperen is a Houston Rocket, so F those other dweebs... H-TOWN!

    Alperen should not even be in the conversation, I mean as asset because he was being overlooked......

    So basically you add better players around Alpe .....Alpe already 100x his value.

    The question should not be who is better than Alpe but what can you do to make the team around Alpe better!
    Alpe needs better help. Franz is better help.

    We as fans should be more intelligent about his, talking about who is better is child's play, team building is much more relevant.

    It is difficult to make big roster decisions when JG and Jabari (and Amen/Cam/Tari) have so much damn room to grow. The best move here is probably no moves. Let Udoka do his thing so we have more improvement data from our 1st graders.

    I do not think it is the best, it is perhaps the most obvious one because we drafted players that were decent but not what we hoped they would be.....Maybe they grow into those but I do not like the meshing of those talents.....

    Basically doubling down on skinny dudes with weaker mindset 2 drafts in a row.......while you signed linebackers like Brooks or Van Vleet who initiated the change.....lmao.

    This is the sole reason I didn't like KMJ being traded. Imagine how much he'd feast this season with a Sengun-centric offense.

    Green should be forced to watch tape of KMJ's movement off the ball. He could get quite a few easy buckets for himself if he added that to his game.

    You are an idiot. I know you’re trolling, and you really don’t believe the idiocy you’re spewing.
