Yet another game where the opposing big was perimeter based for a lot of their offensive possessions with Sengun on the court.

As soon as Bruno came in Sabonis bodied him immediately at the bucket.

Can someone explain to me just what exactly does Bruno bring?

He doesn't bring a lob threat, especially when Silas doesn't have the IQ to play a different offense when he's in the game and he's relegated to running around the perimeter setting screens like Sengun is forced to do. He sure as hell doesn't bring good defense.

There is a whole thread about it. Here are some gems from there.

Uggh I said I would give you the last word.

Our guards have to leave their assignments because cement boots Sengun needs
so much help protecting the interior. Thus the Sengun +/- is low.....if....if....
Green and Porter stay at home and Sengun was left to defend the interior by himself...
left on an island you would see the Sengun +/- be something like minus 17
every game. As it is, it's a layup drill.

Bruno also requires some help, but much often can defend the interior
by himself. Context matters much. Now I give you the last word.
I look forward to Bruno getting a crack at sub par teams like the 3 win Magic.

The thing no one keeps talking about is that EVERYONE has to change to accomodate Alpi's skillset, where no one has to change to accomodate Fernandos...

Alpi needs the ball and a slower pace to be effective, that makes him better, but does it make the rest better? Silas clearly doesn't think so....and I have no idea to be honest.

Let's let Alpi's groin heal so he can "Stay Hard" like the rest of the team.

No one behind Sengun plays good enough defense to justify pulling him. I don't really know the logic behind some of these lineups

Before anyone start another Sengun-Freedom(Kanter) comparison, i'll leave it here.

20 yo AlP posted a triple-double tonight and Freedom's career high number in assists is 7. In 11 seasons.

That makes it look way closer than it really is. Enes Kanter averaged less than ONE assist per game for his career. The comparison is incredibly lazy and dare I say a bit racist.

So lazy to just find another white guy to compare him too.

He plays more like Omer Asik.

Segun reminds me of Divac crossed with Christian Laettner and a hint of Tsakalidis and Calderon.

I can't find any similarities between Sengun and Alexey Lentkov (Tsakalidis). How come?
