    Are you referencing the Black Sea (located north of Turkey) when you say EAST coast?

    I thought Turkey's coasts are more North and South.

    Not trying be rude, genuinely interested.

    Turkey mainly located in Anatolian peninsula and as you said there is no east coast in Turkey.

    Alpi's province is in North-East Coast, opposite side of Crimea in Black Sea.

    People from Alpi's province are the crowdest Turkish group in the US and generally live in the east coast states of the US.

    When I was in the states I thought Rochester City, NY was their capital.

    Alpi's province is very picturesque, lovely area but little bit rural. Think about Wyoming with a sea and a lot of hazelnut trees (a lot-more than you can imagine).

    And also rains, rains, rains. Average rainfall is 1305 mm/year (London is 614 mm/year)

    I guess that much geography is enough today :)

    Could have easily broken Webber's record had Seugun played 30 mins a game. Webber played 32.1 mins per in his rookie season.

    If he was used more as a passing hub in the post, I think he could have broken it in about 23-25 minutes per game. I am not sure just giving extra minutes would help though. He played more later in the season but his assist numbers did not really go up.

    All those players are hurting their teams with their poor 3 point shooting, Butler in particular which directly cost them from being in the finals. ]

    I really dislike the "How dare you criticize my favorite player on the team" mentality that people have on here. I like Senguin. I think he has a lot of potential and obviously should be a part of the rotation. But he's not Jimmy Butler and its ridiculous to compare him to him. All I am saying is that to get to the level of 33 minutes a game he needs to have that 3 point shot to help space the floor better when the ball isn't in his hands and to make up for some of his defensive issues guarding perimeter players.

    Alpi will improve his 3-point and FT shooting.

    And that's with the entire roster bricking some of his more extravagant passes.

    3 pt for sure. Even if he shoots the same, and do not shoot heaves like other nba players do, he would go up a few points.

    Free throws, not very likely. He will play more, will be more tired. Something that will pull his ft shooting down. And god I hate talking to the ball ritual. All these rituals show me that his mind is not fully empty and concentrated. Just concentrate and shoot, and don't let it get to you if you miss it. You look silly after you miss a couple free throws in a row, doing the ritual repeatedly.

    I don't expect to get over 75% and I would be content if he just keeps the same % going to the line more.

    Now that we are talking about assists, Sengun also led the rookies in screen assists by 2.3 assists per game, despite playing 13 minutes less than the second placed Mobley. It is of course a little bit because of the game plan that he can make these assists, but when you watch the games, you can see he is really smart about them, and his positioning is very good. And another very positive things he gets both regular assists and screen assists.

    Eventually, his offensive talents will determine his value. He is very versatile in offense, good vision, good passing, good post-ups. Needs a shot definitely, 3 pt or close to the basket.
