    At the beginning of the season, he was trying very hard to score inside without much success. I've been saying that with a player like Sengun, you've got to use his passing ability. I'm glad he's looking to make plays more than scoring. The scoring will come when he's creating good shots for everybody else.

    Winning brings individual recognition. If we keep this winning percentage up, Alpi will be an All-Star.

    It may look like Al-P is struggling with his scoring recently, but he has proven once again that he can also be a great facilitator. His defensive jump is a bonus. He is dominating the paint with rebounds and good rim protection. This team should be built around Al-P.

    To be honest he has had up and down games like Jalen as well. But I really love the glimpses he has shown in improved defense. Next step is io produce this defense consistently, night in night out. If he can do this and pick up his offence, this guy can be an all nba team talent as well. He can potentially be on a tier below Embiid and Anthony Davis as premium two way big.

    20-11-11 with 2 blocks and 0 turnovers playing 26 minutes is disgusting work.

    I honestly don’t know how you can watch performances like the one tonight and not believe Sengun has superstar potential.

    He's probably the 6th best center itl already.

    Sengun is demolishing teams with his passing + offense. Only players like prime Jokic, LeBron, Harden, Curry looked like this.

    If Sengun can keep at 70% of this level; he is MVP level.

    If this game was closer Alpi could have easily had a 30-15-15 (or better) game.
