    He has said that even if jalen green shot 20% from the field, he would still be our best player (while in reality it would make him the single worst player in the league, maybe in history).

    no kidding the amount of times he was our best player is probably also equal to the amount of times he was our worst player this year.

    And I've actually started to think Jalen is turning the corner cuz I can point to a big change in the way he shoots that helped his efficiency. So what use to be I really wanted him traded to now he may have a future. But only blind Jalen fans would say he's our best player this year.

    Jalen JUST made the defensive play of the game last night on Garland and has significantly improved every year defensively. Sengun is targeted almost EVERY possession for a reason. Teams don't go at anybody on the team like they do Alperen Sengun



    Low IQ?

    That's just false. Nobody's targeted on the team more than Sengun like I stated. His foot speed has always been too slow

    Being targeted doesn't mean he's bad at it, literally trust him to get a stop more than I do Jalen. Jalen made 1 play last night, Sengun made 4 straight plays last week and you say he sucks at defense. He got targeted 4 straight plays and it was steal block steal steal. Sure looked like it worked. It's just the nature of the nba. Whoever plays center will get targeted. Even DPOY Rudy Gobert gets targeted. Jalen excels only at guarding small quick guards. Anyone else just physically dominates him and his team defense sucks. It's like you didn't even watch the last two games as detroit and Cleveland targeted him all night. Cade took him to school. Mitchell had him jumping at ghosts

    Norman Powell over the best offensive player on the #2 seed. Protecting the rim for a top 5 defense. Flashy passer. Entertaining player.

    Norman Powell. Cause he shoots good.

    You’re never going to change rocketchumps mind about Sengun. Save yourself the headache and just laugh at the delusional village idiot.

    I owe Rocketchamp an apology. For the longest time, I have thought he was just a teenager with his foolishness, but after looking at his join date, he is obviously in his 20's. That means I have been making fun of a mentally challenged young man. I, heretofor, will make every effort to be nice to Rocketchamp. What's you favorite color?

    He wasn't gonna shoot over 50% every game the rest of the season, like every player there will always be bad shooting nights. Unfortunately, his lack of ability to consistently get to the line means there will always be some low scoring output games. He def gets a bad whistle and clearly got fouled a couple times last game, but he doesn't just force the refs to make a call like some other players and sometimes shies away from contact.

    If he never learns this ability, he can still be a number 2/3 and a very good player for a long time, which is okay. His 5 assists and good defense last game showed he affected the game in other ways. The baseline this year is clearly better than last year. Even before his hot streak, his advanced metrics were improved over last year.
