    A center should have better shooting than that.

    I want to say that Jalen looks like he has turned the corner. I think we have something with him and I didn't feel that way for a long time. Sengun is looking good (not crazy about his defense).I thought we might win 45-48 games..we can do evn better I think. No cart before horse but when we are "on" we can beat anyone except probably Boston. We'll get it together the 2nd half here.

    Like, the game thread is not the place for this necessarily

    But I don't think holding Alpi to the efficiency standard of "Garden variety 2025 NBA Center" is really the way to go

    He faces far more double teams and is asked to do far more self-creation than like, Derek Lively

    His role is much more similar to something like a point forward

    Sengun's regression in the paint and FT shooting is alarming

    but we've been told he's the best center since Hakeem

    JG's back must be hurting from carrying the Rox every game.

    Yeah well

    Even still, his role is not "stand in the dunker spot and accept lobs from more-skilled players". He is expected to create off the dribble a significant percentage of the time.
