Thank you, just realizing this as I reread this thread. I should not have interjected into what may have been a private discussion with...
Having a quicker 2nd jump should not be an negative. Being #1 in OREB has been significant to Rockets success this season + Alperen improvement in...
The FG% for drives is almost even, the volume differential is more significant. Same with transition....
I do not believe that assumption is safe or accurate at all. Jalen is a demon in transition but he is not as efficient as driver in half court...
On ball/off ball gravity does not equate to any kind of offensive production or efficiency. And Amen is producing highest TS% on team, almost...
Then Zanos is more like a rhino with agility of kung fu master.
I would take the proven Unicorn over the solid player with upside everytime. Especially if both still young. FYI Zion is more of a dog than...
Why do you value on ball/off ball gravity more than true shooting? Amen 60.3 (61.3 as starter) Jalen 54.9 Amen not only leads the Rockets in TS%...
These stats could also be snapshots + may change when season is completed. But Jalen has been much more explosive + consistent offensively in the...

I understand this fear. But this would be only reason a player of Zion's caliber would even be available this early in career (see Luka). If Zion...
We should be able to like our player without having to play mental gymnastics with comparisons to All Stars like Ant or even Cade. Jalen has...

I did not mention filling in the roster with any of those other players. Why do you feel the need to muddy up the discussion by making up...
https://spacecityscoop.com/rockets-decision-fred-vanvleet-became-substantially-easier "...if we're asking who's most impactful right now, the...
I touched on it. That history is the only reason a player of his talent, age + success would even be available. His ability to get to the rim +...
Sabonis with defense works for me too. What is your comp for Jalen now?
Amen's floor is Aaron Gordon. Can Jalen + Alp be Jamal + Jokic is more interesting imo.
Salary filler.
Alp is definitely underrated on this board. Same can be said about Jalen. But this list makes me even more intriged about trading for Zion....
