This is how wacky and out of sorts with the modern NBA you guys are. You SOFs love stats right? Nikola Jokic who is the best post player in the game today generates a whopping 6.2 points from that package.https://www.nba.com/stats/players/playtype-post-up He generates his other 18 points from other sets which actually include shooting jump shots! Even Embiid can step out to the 3! You can go back as far as the NBA tracks the stat to 2015 and guess what!? Marc Gasol led the NBA then with 6.4 points from the post! LOL You truly have to go WAY back to find something that substantiates your claim that great post game is relevant in high level scorers and even further you need to find top 5-10 players in the history of the sport to make the argument! I get it your idol is a really good post player, but sadly he was born 30 years too late. You are living in a Non Sequitur because the very crux of this discussion started when one of you felt it wise to bark out that Sengun was a better "scorer" than Jalen Green which is absurd - there is no connection between what Shaq did in 1999 and what any other post player SENGUN INCLUDED is doing today. You are riding the wave that started with your countrymen claiming that Sengun was a better scorer than Jalen Green and then I told you why it was not possible, then you start throwing out Shaq and Duncan and all sorts of other players that have no connection to todays game! Holy sht man I can lead you to water but I cant make you drink! Funny thing is that when you realized the folly of your ways it was just easier to attack my singular statement by whatabouting to another time and place and avoiding the topic altogether! The Twilight Zone! On topic? ALPEREN SENGUN WILL NEVER .. NEVA EVA EVA! BE A SIMILAR SCORER TO JALEN GREEN WITHOUT A JUMP SHOT!!! Here lets try it this way ------> Alperen Şengün, şut atmadan asla Jalen Green'den daha iyi bir golcü olamaz.
the irony is hes an ideal player for a clueless coach...this is why i beleive silas or FO dont have incentive to win...they juts look after their little nepotistic interests doing favors to players agents, vets etc
I think everyone is sleeping on these other guys with some the comparisons. Just skipping Sabonis and going all the way to Jokic. Can we see if he’s better than Vucevic first? He’s 20 and has a long ways to go to reach that level, let’s just chill out a lil
It's frustrating. Rebuilds can be cruel as certain coaches or systems don't take to a player. But you got to love how Alpi has adjusted. Look at the Bullets, as a team they just couldn't play together. Rasheed left did his thing. Webber left and did his thing. None of our 19 and 20 years olds are guaranteed to stay a Rocket. Alpi and Mobley must look at Porzingis' 16 FGAs per game and faint.
If Alpi had Porzingis' range and face up offensive skillsets, he too would have a lot more fga. Mobley has hardly any self creation abilities. How would he get 16 fga attempts?
For Sengun, playing 30 minutes would net 3 more attempts just by being on the floor. I never said they should get 16attempts but 3 more FGAs would be good enough. Does Adebayo have hot 33% range? As for Mobley when he gets around 13fgs, he'll get his 18 points. When he doesn't, you'll get offensive performances like his last 5 games. Some of you guys are just obsessed with this range and self creating. Like Sengun, Mobley can draw fouls.
Sengun can self create. I never said he can't. It's his strong suit. The problem is he can only self create in the paint. Might have worked 30 years ago but man modern elite offensive weapons have to have range. Sengun's self creation style of back to the basket at the rim buckets can only have such an upper limit of attempts per game because defenses can easily shut that down with strong bigs who can push Sengun out of his positioning for a post play. Even Hakeem had a robust face up middy game and he was a 80s and 90s big. Jabari at least has this in his bag. Sengun has to develop SOME face up skills and range. Right now his self creation is limited to just back to the basket post ups.
thank you good writing as always btw why not give sengun 20 attemtps for a month or 2 and see what you got in him...perhaps youll unlock something or discover...or stimulate his development into that direction... this way you also prepare him for the playoffs if another key player goes down with injury so hes prepared in advance for a greater load... other months you can feature jabari and give him to dribble the ball more...perhaps he can develop a better handle , you wont transform him into a PG but hed get used to dribbling more and itd be usefull for his all around game
