    While typically this is true, Alp numbers track well in extended minutes.

    That was the argument last year when he was playing against second units, and less minutes. Guess what happened? Production scaled up like that. And now we are talking about going from 10.6 shots a game against first units to 15 shots a game, where the data is already much better predictor of what is going to happen. It is not going from 5 pts to 20 pts. It is 14.6 pts to 20 pts and 8.7 rebounds to 10

    You pull out a general principle with no interest in the actual context, or how likely the general principle will apply to the current context. It is extremely more likely to go up linearly than not.

    Alperen Sengun at age 18:[​IMG]
    Victor Wembanyama at age 18:[​IMG]


    One of them is a mediocre out of lottery pick and the other one is 500M$ worth unicorn, the game changer, the greatest young prospect of all time and blablabla.

    last games alperen gets 6-8 points 6-8 rebounds in first quarters
    than coach bench him like
    play 5 minutes sit 5 minutes

    they fck his motivation
    let him play straight 8-10 minutes
    you make him more tired sit - play - sit - play - sit - play
    and kpj is bad at passing to sengun
    but nix is none.. he can even carry the ball to half court
    what is the purpose of playing him with the second unit if they dont give him the ball

    ofc it was sarcasm as per coming of the bench, and as per who is the better player, its alpi and it isnt even close...and all that despite being held back by management and coaches..alpi is treated like orphan and jalen like golden boy that cant do no wrong

    but 1 vs 1 basketball alpi would have kicked his ass...he would have destroyed jalen...annihilated him 1 vs 1...theres almost no single element to basketball that jalen is better at than alpi...

    PS
    bear in mind alpi has played only 2(TWO) FULL GAMES 35+ minutes in his entire NBA career
    TAKE THAT FOR DATA

    Lol what? Now you're trying to claim other player's achievements for Sengun now too? Seriously, you guys are so deluded. Jabari earned his stripes defending Giannis, not Sengun.

    Hahahahahaha.

    Ahhh the emotional toll of fapping over a player with so many flaws like KPJ.

    It's happened folks. The mental breakdown.

    I'll take things Rockets fans say multiple times every game over another unforced KPJ turnover, for $500.

    Smith was the main defender of Giannis, but the quick and timely help defense Sengun provided throughout the game was vital to containing him. You can see how fast and often he comes in to help seal off Giannis in the video below.

    And watch in the final seconds how Giannis drives from the half court and the way Fernando matches his speed and brilliantly trails him all the way to the hoop.

    You're right in that Smith shined in this game, and I get your criticism of some of these posters who are obsessed with Sengun and his stats.
    But at the same time, I just wanted to point out how it was still a team defensive effort, and a pretty great one at that.

    Pretty sure I was talking **** on KPJ all last night for his dumb decisions. I’m a rockets fan, not a player only fan like y’all. People get so sensitive over Sengun.
