I'm saying.... If they gave the ball up to Sengun on the post he would quickly start drawing double teams freeing up our "shooters"... Green and Gordon would feast on open shots...
Alpi is way better than WB I'd imagine. I was just curious what the actual stat measured and why WB is top despite people's eye tests.
Its going to be really interesting to see what Sengun's numbers look like as a starter and 30+ min...
not watching him lately but imho westbrook could actually still be good finishing at the rim, imho his problem was always needlessly chucking 3pter and midrangeres ...when he was playing vs rockets this year i remember he killed us with his relentless attacks of the rim in at least one game
If Sengun plays defense and contests rebounds the same way Wood does, I think he'll conserve enough energy for 30 minute play time.
Sengun played 28 mins a night in turkey. I mean yeah obv NBA is a higher level than turkish league but point is Sengun can build the stamina necessary to play 25-30 mpg that CWood brings on a nightly basis. Sengun's main issue has more to do with fouls rate and rotation squeeze. I honestly think Rox did both their top rookies dirty. Both Sengun and Green got into horrible places, with Sengun having little mins and Green with 0 spacing and creation.
WB's main issue is he is all body no brain. If he had average bball Iq he would easily be a multi time champ and on par with Harden and KD as one of the best players ever.
it gotta be at least something like 20/8/6 his per 36 numbers are worse than this but with better flow and rhythm i expect him his numbers to go up... i mean when you play 12 minutes its like you didnt even played basketball... 12 minutes is nothing.....especially when you play in 4 minutes spurts.....also, entering at the end of quarters, its another a thief of concentration... just as he enters the game its a timeout... then its a pause between the quarters... then its a foul, then another one, then its a commercial break...few trips up and down the courts then its a break in order for new reserves to enter etc...then hes being pulled out BTW what sane FA would come here or what rookie would want to work out for rockets predraft, after stone and silas denied alpi of ROY out of pure incompetence?... he could have nailed it by now if they just played him normal minutes... i thought the new management wanted to do right by the players?
It's not really the mpg, it's the fact there's 3x as many games to deal with in the NBA "(The Rockets) played nine games in 15 days, we used to play nine games in nine weeks in Turkey, we did it in two weeks here," Şengün said. "It's hard to get used to it right away."
I like Turkish Delight! Hadn't heard that one. My wife, who is the smart one, says it's a candy that the Chronicles of Narnia brought to wider public attention. Perfect.
Your wife knows her stuff. That's where I heard of Turkish delight first as a child, it's now by far one of my favourite candies to eat.
Nailed it. Turkish league is like 60 games plus playoffs compared to 82 plus here. Back to backs in particular kill Sengun. Once he can develop and condition his legs he will be fine. Yao had the same problem initially.
