Alpi, Amen, and Green are the core of the core of the core

IMO, Jalen's ultimate role in the NBA is 6th man. I don't see him as a good 3rd option because he's borderline worthless if he isn't scoring.

 

Amen Sengun pick and roll

 

I think he’s too talented to be a 6th man. I don’t think he will be our number one guy, but I feel like people get too caught up between either “first option or bust.” Teams are made up of more than two-three players. Eason won’t be our number one or two guy, but that doesn’t mean he won’t be extremely important for us. You need scoring in the nba so i think green will always have a spot. If his defense can continue to improve then he definitely has a spot on this team.

edit - I noticed as I sent this this that I derailed a bit. I think he will be in our starting lineup for years.

 

I mean, how do you even measure that. More likely that Sengun will still have more assists and more rebounds, and that Green might score more. Amen by far the best defender of the three, and most athletic and versatile.

Sometimes you, sometimes me, always us.

 

Sengun could average that as well. As of know, Sengun is much closer to that. Sengun is literally a three per game and better free throw shooting and a couple more minutes per game away from that.

Ultimately, what matters most is team success.

But it's funny how some of the same people who always dismissed Sengun and were basically quiet when he dropped huge games on Lebron, Wemby, etc. etc. can't wait to proclaim Amen the greatest of all time. I mean, I love Amen, too, but he is averaging 13/8/3 while Sengun is averaging 19/10/5.

I predicted a while ago that the same people who proclaimed it was all about Jalen, then pivoted to saying Fred is the best would wait for Amen's breakout game and then immediately declare that he is the best. That's exactly what happened.

I mean, his athletic abilities are outerworldly for sure, he is smart, he has a ton of potential. But there often seems to be an element of dismissing another player who is currently still more productive.

I'm just happy we have both (and Tari, and Green, and the others).

One of those names are not like the other two.

 

I’ve always had the impression that Jalen’s side is the one that requested the shorter contract with a PO, Rox in turn got the benefit of a cheaper contract. I think it’s safe to assume Jalen could have gotten the same contract as Sengun if he wanted.

 

If Rox offered the same amount as Sengun I doubt Green would have turned down additional 91M guaranteed money.

 

But he could exercise his option after 2 years and get a full max extension 2 years earlier than Sengun if everything works out. I’m sure they did their math.

 

85 % of Rockets success de depends on FVV-Alpi offense decisions, what you talkin about?
Beyond stats- and Alpi is double double in stats, not one sided guy like Jalen, is our hub and main decision maker with FVV.
Jalen still has low basketball iq, zero asist today for example, in which NBA team a guard , it does Not have to be starting guard, but guard coming from bench at 7th or 8th guy finishes a match with zero asists.
For Jalen to rise Alpi level, he first hast to increase his fundamentals, this is not street ball.
Alpi has high and elite fundamentals, court vision, basketball iq.. Our center makes more asists than our SG.. Funny..
Jalen has long road to have his name next to Alpi.
I do not see coaches make their game plans on Jalen or send double doubles to him.
But Sengun has been experiencing this for 2 years in this league..
Tonight for example, his lazy, low iq decisions was nearly costing him.
with all respect to Jalen and efforts, there is or there can be no question that:
Number 1 Alpi
Number 2 Jalen or Amen not decided..

 

Think of it this way. Jalen’s 2+1 rookie extension was unheard of. His side has to make some compromises to get that kind of flexibility, right? What kind of compromises do you think they had to make? To me the obvious answer is take less money than they could have gotten. Which also means if they don’t insist on getting the 2+1, Jalen could have gotten a bigger contract with longer years, which essentially is Sengun’s contract.

 

OMG... please stop spamming the board with your LOW IQ takes. It's painfully obvious that you started watching basketball when Sengun came to the Rockets. We get it, you love Alpi if I wanted to be petty I could say that his turnovers and defensive liabilities tonight were a problem... see how that works.

We won, it wasn't pretty, but this team still found a way to win with major contributions from our key players + Tate. How about you build up this team instead of constantly putting your Alpi Insecurity on display when others shine... sheeesh.

 

Cam's ultimate role can be a 6th best man. Jalen is waaaayyy better.

 

Jalen was largely responsible for building our lead. All the Rockets other than Tate tried to sh*t it away in the fourth quarter. I had to watch the Atlanta broadcast (they are extreme homers) and they gave Jalen all the respect he deserved. Sengun only fans and Jalen only fans are pathetic. Thank God, the team doesn't think in those terms. Somebody different seems to step up every game and sometimes its quarter by quarter. Amen was absolutely gassed the whole game, but still made a couple of great hustle plays. This team is special.
