    Alperen is a skilled, versatile offensive player. A possible flaw I've seen is his jumpshot is subpar, especially the one-legged pull, and especially in crutchtime. He had his J blocked during the final minute vs Portland. He airballed his buzzer-beater last night which led to overtime. He also seems a bit flimsy at times with his jerky body motions trying to draw fouls.

    But he's a good player overall. Possibly an All-Star

    I don’t know about Ant, he is dumb as hell. He always says the wrong thing and already has 4-5 baby mamas.

    Jalen is more likable.

    Yea but Ant can do something Jalen can't, he can reliably put the ball through the hoop just about every single night. I would love to see either Ant or Maxey on this team.

    Strange behavior out in the game threads.
    People want Sengun to shoot from 10-16ft but when he does, same people shame him for missing 3 of them in the process. Finished 3/6 from that distance
    It's an art.

    Randle from 10-16 ft:
    35%

    Sabonis at 57%, Giannis at 54% and Brandon Ingram at 54% from that distance are the only bigs ahead of Sengun (52.3).
    I was surprised by Giannis's numbers. I thought Bucks ran Halfback Dive to barrel to the rim or flop on every possession.

    Jokic 42%

    Wemby looks cool shooting it but making it is another story. 32%


    Jabari is pretty good at it too, 47% and he can shoot over anyone.


    I went back in time to when one of my fave playas roamed the court. Luifa felt like he never missed from 10-16 ft, 45%.

    Coaches should encourage it more from Alperen and Jabari. I get that the Morley nerds always consider it a bad shot but when you can rebound the way this team does it's a good possession.

    One more.. Derozan who is a Dali from that distance, 50%. Although, he has 60 makes.

    My favorite late game possession was one that initiated with Jalen curling around a high screen from Alpy and hit him going downhill about 10 feet from the rim. It wasn't anything fancy, but it was so so much easier for Sengun to make things happen when he didn't start the possession from the 3 point line off a FVV entry pass with a man already in his business. More of that please!

    One change Amen, Ant, & Alpi. When you really need to win a game just call Triple A. :D

    It's just a dream for the off-season, But Jalen and fillers, or FVV and as many picks as we can legally send them for Ant. Amen, Ant, Tari, Jabari, Sengun equals championship. Either FVV or Jalen, Sheppard or Cam, Dillon, and Landale off the bench. We would also have flexibility to go after another very good bench player or two.

    We'd have to give a lot more than just that
