    I think it's because he's getting doubled and needs to make adjustments and he's playing with bunch of role players who can't shoot like Amen, Brooks, Green etc.

    Lakers fans going to stay up all night proposing Cam Reddish and Christian Wood trades for Alpy.

    Much, much better. Room to improve, but Jabari and Alperen were really solid tonight.

    Fred and Jalen could make some shots. That would be nice.

    I wonder if Alpi wishes he were on OKC now.

    If it's true what Jackson Gatlin said that "the front office" still doesn't realize he is our best player by far, this team simply doesn't deserve him. Neither do parts of the fan base.

    Alperen needs a better GM and better shooters......and additionally a much wiser owner.

    Are you telling me that the same front office that wanted to build the team around Kpj and Jalen Green could possibly be wrong in their talent assessment? Nahhhhhhhh

    There's a big difference (to me anyway) between Sengun being our best player and the level of dedication from the front office. Sengun is pretty clearly the best player of our young prospects and it is not even close. I think they would agree with that. But I think it's reasonable to have reservations about him considering his limitations and the position he plays.

    This team is running this kid into the ground. Not having a back up center or a shooter on the roster is fireable offense. Get rid of stone.

    Eric Gordon:

    You were probably one of the biggest supporters of Alperen Şengün while you were here. To see the level he’s reached this season development-wise, what does that do to you personally?


    I always tell people that his game is maturing and he’s going to continue to get better. Now you got to get guys around him. When you get certain guys around him, it should be even better. But they’re maximizing his potential. So every year, he should be getting better and better.

    ------------

    Eric gets it...build around Sengun. And he indirectly says that certain guys around Sengun are not good enough/not the right fit.

    He played wisely today, correctly deduced when to attack and when to pass.

    I like Amen, and he should be great next to Sengun, but no, he is not a player with more potential than Alpi.

    Alpi has back pain from having to put this team on his back all the time.
