    Yeah it does. I just think the bad moments really stand out when it comes to the eye test. He’s plenty quick enough to stay certain guys, but Jabari projects to be elite at it. I would like to be able to close with him and Jabari on the floor bc I hate small ball. There’s just no way Tate and EG won’t close. Therefore it’s Jabari vs Sengun at the 5

    Yeah, I see this too.
    Personally I think Green, KPJ, ego (really Tari), Jabari and Sengun should close

    I’m with that down the road for sure. Just can’t have 2 rookies closing right now. Gotta have more discipline play out there. I’m very high on Tate, Just need him to shoot better and not take so many shots. Silas has a tough job this coming season with rotations

    Sengun is our highest BBALL IQ player - and he plays hard, all the time, he actually needs to learn to calm down a bit on defense.

    He has so many reaching fouls that he has to stop doing.....his per 36mpg fouling percentage is 5.2 fouls....

    If he wants to start he has got to control himself and stop the ticky tack fouling.

    Coach Ataman decided not to field Alpi against Poland to see Haltali-Ercani front court. Unfortunately no Alpi today.

    Ok. Examples? You have free access to my post history, I welcome any evidence of bigotry lol.

    What's terrible is a thread claiming Sengun's our best player but nobody here can factually back it up. He's not even averaging double digit points or rebounds lol, yet I'm a bigot for pointing this out? Lol

    Keep deflecting from your past posts. Everyone knows. You’re a joke. A nonessential with no value to the board or society really.

    Lol. I mean you can throw all the silly insults you want, but you don't have ONE example? Just one?

    You also don't have anything to back up why Sengun's our best player over Jalen Green, who dropped 40 his last game. Do you have evidence of anything?

    You’re a known bigot. You knock every fair complexion athlete the rockets have had.

    Im not saying Alp is the rockets best player. You keep going back to a thread title to make some dumb point, Alp was miles better than Green in the beginning of the season. Yet you still took every chance to hate on him. Even when the advanced numbers say you’re completely wrong.
    Bottom line is Green and Alp are the future of this team, so you can get on board or move on.

    Sorry, I was watching the game, didn't see your post.
    It was not one of the good games to watch, no Alpi, 3rd unit Turkish team, still won by 16 points (94-78).

    I would suggest you to watch the games against Giannis-led Greece next week, at 17th and 19th.I will send you the links before the matches.

    Still waiting on that example....I've asked several times to no avail


    Advanced metrics are projections that ppl like you use for ridiculous narratives lol. Saying Sengun was miles better than Jalen is by FAR the stupidest comment in this thread. NOBODY outside of this site thinks Sengun was anywhere near our best player, nor will he ever be. The problem is certain players have crazy fanatics (see Dmo) that attack anybody telling the truth. Sengun is a okay basketball player, nothing more

    And certain players have their crazy and bigoted haters too.

    And it wasn’t even a debate that Green was bad pre all star break. Alp was better.

    Regardless, both are the future of this team. You need to get used to it.

    Sengun isn't our best player. Has shown that he could potentially be a world class big man playmaker if he works on a few things. Nothing I've seen leads me to believe he's just an "ok basketball player".
