    Good team construction takes you over average humps, it’s real Dudes, bona-fide f****** Dudes that gets you over the top. The Gaffords, the PJs, the Lively’s are really just cherry on tops.

    As much as I love Sengun, he can't catch alley oops to get those easy buckets in the paint which makes him less impactful against other great Big men - have the plan B with Athletic Bigs will take us to the next level! We have the pieces, just need to complete the puzzle

    Hall of Fame guards can make a center look good. ;)
    Look at Harden (and Capela) cooking Goober and Towns

    Sengun has shown the ability to score on any center in the league. Probably the guy that gave him the hardest time is now a Rocket. Lobs are great, but to suggest Sengun cannot be a successful offensive center on a contender is ridiculous.

    People don't understand how rare it is to find a talent like Sengun.

    Those dallas guys are useless unless they have a historically great guy to set them up. Basically unless they have luka or harden they’re just fringe rotation guys, like gafford has always been

    not only that but also it is the Luka that they need to have, not the center.

    edit: Astrosrule said the same thing actually.
