    What makes you think Sengun cannot extend his game?

    Sengun ft% is consistent and is similar or better than the first 6 year ft shooting of hakeem. Not to mention that he is younger than the hakeem came into the league, even after 3 years of nba experience.

    Shooting by distance stats is available from 96-97. That year Hakeem shot 48.2% from 10-14 ft and 37.9% from 15-19 ft. Sengun shot 53.9% and 36.2% respectively in these two, with low volume particularly on 15-19 ft. On the other hand he tripled his volume on these two categories compared to 22-23. The kid is improving at everything and you(maybe not you) can see that he is ready to put in all the effort to do so.

    What is your argument?

    And no, Sengun does not have a soft layup game, not at all. He likes to bully his way to the rim, he likes contact. He is the opposite of soft lay-ups. He is extremely skilled and can find a way to make an easy lay-up but is not like centers like vucevic who avoid contact.

    To explain it for the slower ones in the room, I wasn't saying Isiah Rider = Jalen or Hakeem = Alpi. I just brought up two extreme examples to make my point that more threes and more long jumpers doesn't necessarily mean "better scorer" or "more exciting".

    Some understood it, some did not, and would not give you the benefit of the doubt for obvious reasons.

    You mean how it turned out that cam’s absence was the reason behind the winning streak and how we started losing as soon as he is back.

    No the other dude said Rider shoots 3s and 2s and Hakeem only shoots 2 but that doesn't mean Rider is the better scorer.

    Folks blamed Alpi for not being switchable on defense and being hunted on defense for 3 years just to see Jabari not being switchable on defense and being hunted on defense. It's low-key hilarious, ngl.

    It's 2024, there are not any Centers out there who can keep up with NBA guards on perimeter.

    Or they started winning until they met a real superstar like Luka?

    Funny thing is this wasnt the first time you tried to make that allusion. I just ignored it originally for how ludicrous it was, but I see you are trying to make it a “thing” so I had to speak out. At least we agree how silly it was. Just let Sengun be Sengun. If he can operate outside of 10 feet as both a passer AND shooter it puts this team in a unique position. Who's triggered - the person who gets irrationally upset at the slightest criticism or the person who only engages when the talks get sensational?

    As I said, you need to work on your reading comprehension.

    Most people with at least an average IQ got it. I see you as someone who qualifies for this threshold, so do better.

    When people go to the IQ card its because they are projecting. Dont make such stupid comparisons and you wont feel so ... stupid. Its easy.

    Sengun = Dream

    LMAO

    Look at the Suns, they are barely a playin team with Durant, Booker AND Beal. AD and Lebron averaging 25 each and Lakers are in the same situation but idiots here and on Twitter think that we can survive in this league without Sengun because we have Green, Amen and Fred hahahahaha

    Alpi misses this motivation:

    Adam Silver after seeing this tweet on his timeline,

    "How can I get this atmosphere for an Nba game. I know, glow in the dark basketball courts."
