Anthony Edwards said he was attacking Sengun, who was always still coming up at him on the screen while Ant was going downhill. Ant: "I already got a full head of steam and he’s running toward me. If I can’t go around you, I need to retire, pretty much."
You really need to look at +/- for the season.or.even during this 5 game losing streak. It's eye opening as to who is the most net negative on the court.
I don’t need to look at + - , I know what I see on the court and what players have said out their own mouths … it’s been a consistent thing since Minn came back in Houston when down 16 but guess what if Ant was praising Alpi it would of been posted all over this forum by the SOFs … but now they can’t hide being their numbers Wolves done it, Lakers done it, OKC done it… at some point it’s a issue that needs to be address by getting a athletic rim protecting big and moving Alpi to the 4 in the 4th qtr or sitting him all together when it’s starting to be exploited
Wolves are struggling to get into playoffs, KAT more important than Gobert, Lakers sewed up 5 seed w/o traditional big, OKC was winning w/o Chet and Hartenstein + in fact their historic defense is fueled with JDubb playing smallball 5. FYI - Alp missed the first 3 losses remember? And his DRTG is the best of all the starters + becomes elite in the 4th quarter. This is not hate on Jalen, who (along with Amen) was Rockets best player in Jan, just not so much in Feb however. These problems are systemic, not due to a single individual player.
Here's the rest of his quote from same interview where Ant talks about dunking on him but states that Rockets should build around Sengun after he got best of Gobert. "All praise to, I don't know how to pronounce his name, number 28 Sengun. He's good," Edwards said after the game." “Me personally, I think they need to build around No. 28 (Sengun), Timberwolves guard Anthony Edwards told Rockets Wire. 3 time MVP also quoted: “I think he’s really talented,” reigning NBA MVP Nikola Jokic said earlier this year. “Maybe this is going to sound weird, but I think they need to play a little bit more through him. This guy has the talent. He can pass the ball, He can post up, and he has the touch around the rim. You can see some different moves that he’s made.”
