    I've been on this board for decades now and I've read every page of this thread yet for some reason, when I woke up this morning and saw all the new pages, I had hope that there would be an erudite discussion of Sengun's play and fit. Alas, not so much.

    Also, I'm an idiot for hoping.

    Is Tari below the minute requirement? Otherwise, I would expect him in that list. And is this per total minutes played, or per minute?

    Tari making the layup in one try was the most amazing part of the play. :D

    So based on this, as far as our big free agents go, Fred is earning his money and Brooks is not at all.

    I have yet to see a statistic that accurately quantifies defense into one number.

    CLEARLY, Dillon Brooks has been fantastic for us on defense.

    I think there is a problem with this stat. I imagine the wording is somehow off. This might be derived from totality of minutes rather than %, explains FVV at top and Dillon having foul trouble and playing less minutes. I GUESS.

    Bingo. An "only fan" isn't necessarily a bad thing. Hell, I started life as a kid being an MJ only fan before I learned to appreciate the game. A myopic poster that's poisoning the well is something else, though. It only takes a handful of these types to sour the batch. It's unfair but it is what it is. Just put them on ignore and move on. I would note that this is very similar to what happened during Linsanity, so maybe there's some PTSD at play here with those who've been around the block. That is in no way comparing Lin as a player to Sengun, just the activity of some of his irrational fans.

    I seriously doubt any Rockets fan possessing decent basketball acumen is doubting Seguin at this point. There were initial valid questions about potential weaknesses but it looks like they've mostly been put to rest. He's getting better and better and we're lucky to have him.
