    Shut your racist ass up. Only time you’re in here is when he happens to have a somewhat bad game. But you’re always on Greens nuts.
    Yes, Alp is light skinned. You’re just going to have to accept that one of the young stars of the future on this team is light skinned.
    Deal with it

    Or when he was wide open for the lob on the fast break and the ball got thrown into the stands.

    Looks like he had a pretty terrible game, I didn't see it, so I can't confirm.

    Look it's just going to happen to Sengun, he's going to have bad nights.

    There's a loud segment of posters here that think - still - if you just roll Sengun out there more it's automatic win.

    This doesn't seem to be the case. That shouldn't be surprising!

    Sengun has been fine mind you, he just has a lot of work to do.

    Did you respond to the wrong post? What does this have to do with what I wrote?

    It's not just lack of distribution that he put up a 0.

    He had a bad game - I didn't say otherwise. That doesn't change the fact that his teammates rarely find him when he's open for easy buckets, the most egregious example being the one I mentioned, a 2 on 1 fast break that should have been a Sengun dunk, but instead the ball got thrown into the stands. That's all I was saying.

    Raptors starting lineup had
    Siakim, Precious and Scottie Barnes.

    You can expect bad games for Sengun
    vs smaller and quicker lineups.

    Sengun is not at Jokics level yet.

    Sengun is a poor NBA Player, a long way off being a truly effective player..
    I wish he could improve quickly otherwise I cant see him being with the club for very long. Y

    In the second quarter, there was a stretch where it was AL-P, Jalen, Tate, KJ and I think JC. That group moved well and played well, and even extended the lead against the raptors (somewhat). That was fun to watch, until Wood came back in and killed all the movement as per usual.

    I don't want to come off as a Wood hater, but a lot of his little habits and negative intangibles annoy me. I very rarely get annoyed at Sengun, because even when he messes up its in the pursuit of a good basketball play.

    I think the team plays better defensively with Al-p when they go zone. When we're playing switch everything, he struggles, and it's not his strong suit.

    He is Luis Scola - he is not Hakeem.

    He will be a nice complimentary piece.

    Nah, he got plenty of action.

    Maybe, just maybe, the kid simply had another crappy game.
    It happens.

    Seems strange that some of you can't even admit that much.

    yeah he didnt play well... all we say its not primarily his fault, coach and teammates needs to put others in position to succeed

    if i make steph curry exclusively a postup player and make him only shoot 1-2 3s per game, what kind of games you think hed have?

    conversely if you make alperen play not to his strenghts hes not gonna have a very good game like ever...

    see the passing highlights, not bad for a crappy game
