Sengun is a black hole

He is 19 (6th youngest player in the NBA) and was MVP of a good professional league at 18. He has shown plenty of flashes of brilliance in his first NBA games. His per 36 stats put him in elite company.

So you "think" he is going to be a role player, but the evidence speaks against what you "think".

If that poster was capable of thinking, they wouldn't have thought that.

Hate to say it, but I think Sengun kills the ball movement. I also think Wood is clearly superior than Sengun.

I understand Sengun has great passing skills and gets a ton of assists. But watching him run the offense from the high post is frustrating. He is not a 3-point threat. Most of the time people don’t really guard him from the perimeter. You simply can’t be an efficient high post playmaker if you can’t shoot.

When he gets the ball he either sets up dribble hand off with one of our guards or forces drives. The dribble hand off play is not an efficient play because Sengun is neither a lob threat nor a good finisher rolling to the rim so our options out of the play was limited.

When he forces drives, he picks up his dribble a lot. He gets bailed out a lot by his teammates’ great cutting and, to his credit, he made some great passes as well. But they are not crsip. Even when he scores after a million pump fakes I don’t think those moves are sustainable. He is not decisive with his moves. He takes too much time in the post. He doesn’t have a go to move and he can’t shoot.

I know a lot of people say he’s just 19 but he went professional at a very young age so it is not a surprise to me that he matures faster but that doesn’t necessarily mean a higher ceiling. Some players are really good immediately when they entered the league but never made huge improvement afterwards. I feel like Sengun is one of those players.

Based on OP's hit rate, this thread means that Sengun will undoubtedly be a future superstar.

this thread was a clear indication of Sengun’s future stardom if you spent some time in the forum.
