Alperen is inevitable. Amen and Tari look like they are too. Looking for two snipers, and this thing is a wrap.
Reed will be one of them. Would have been nice for Jabari to be the other one, but we need to move on. Maybe Cam.
This doesn't happen if your center is as crap at defense as people with an agenda have been saying for years, and are still saying.
Corey Kispert was in the same draft as Sengun. Wizard drafted him at 15th, right ahead of Alperen. Kind of crazy in hindsight. Alp dropped 27 and 17. Kispert finished with a -12.
Facts. Look at Alperen’s defensive numbers from year to year. He is improving constantly. We just need some shooting and some offensive creativity.
I remember that someone was spreading the rumor that supposedly the Rockets "internally" thought of Alpi as the single worst pick and roll defender in the league. If true that that was their opinion, then he has improved drastically. Will the same people acknowledge it?
