    ATW may have lost the battle and got banned, but ultimately, he won the JG/Sengun fanatics war.

    Banned or not, he won. Sil@ss, KPJ/JG, Bruno, all gone. Meanwhile, Sengun is an all-star player and all the haters are moving goalposts to find excuses to hate on him.

    ATW might have won his battle vs. JOFs. But not sure if he'll survive his upcoming battles vs. Amen believers. He seems to be putting all of his chips still on Alpi.

    I wonder how Sengun is taking the news that his buddy is gone. I'm sure everyone on the team is disappointed. They all seemed pretty tight.

    I'm sure he's disappointed the team no longer needs to divert from what's working for them, just to appease the worst player in the lineup and run around setting a hundred picks for him knowing he'll effectively use maybe 4 of them.

    Amen is already ELITE on one side of the ball. Sengun is very good on one side of the ball — and maybe “good” on the other side.

    I feel like to be a “franchise player” you have to be ELITE at something.

    Sengun can get there. Based on his first 4 years there’s a very good chance he does. But right now, today, Amen has the higher ceiling because he’s younger and already way better on one side of the court.

    At worst, Sengun will be that perfect second fiddle. He is most definitely a member of the core and ALMOST untouchable.

    Well, at least that's one player that has shown true star potential, unlike JG. Amen could turn out to be the better player potentially if he learns to shoot.

    Answer is no, Sengun doesn't know who ATW is, nor probably cares to. Usually being a fan is a 1 way street and that's perfectly fine. Still, as a fan, ATW has won the Sengun/JG war and demolished the JG cult from cfans.net, so kudos to him. All the JG crazies can go join the Suns forums now lol.

    Debating between Sengun and Jalen make some sense. Because Sengun has always performed better when Jalen's off the court. So how much the Rockets believe in Jalen and want him to be the man actively hurts Sengun's play.

    But debating between Sengun and Amen makes ZERO sense because they complement each other. This is a mutually beneficial pairing where they both play better when the other is on the court. There is no reason to choose one over the other as they are perfectly fine playing together. So yeah, now that Jalen's no longer a Rockets, Sengun believers should just chill and hope his touch returns next year. Because his dip in interior scoring this past year is what's really preventing him from being a true franchise player.

    I don't know, others will have to chime in. Someone said because of the D&D forum, but I never step into that cesspool, so I wouldn't know.

    I am sure he is celebrating +3 assist per game with KD.
