    Your obsession with turning Alpi into Luka is kinda unhinged dude. This team doesn't need ONE franchise player.

    You kinda do need one. Very very few title teams have won without a franchise guy.

    Many teams have won with multiple and in fact in the modern nba it's a necessity with how deep the talent pool is relative to the early aughts and 90s.

    None of our guys are at the level of talent to be a sole franchise player on a modern NBA champion. That level of player required is that of a prime LeBron or Luka now.

    I love our guys but I don't think any of them are that level of talent.

    So if someone thinks Sengun is the only franchise potential level player, this franchise needs to find another one also to pair with him.if they want a contender because Sengun hypothetically being the only franchise player is not a team where a championship is the ceiling.

    I thought Barkley was a franchise guy. Not the Weight Watchers franchise.

    Some teams have had multiple but it’s pretty rare. Kd and steph did, prior to that you probably have to go back to shaq and kobe? Not sure kobe was at that level at that point though. Historically it’s extremely rare to have 2 of the top 5-7 guys on one team

    He's kinda constantly shaking his head while he is saying positive things, and then he lets out a weird laugh when talking about the defensive effort. His non-verbal communication belies the words coming out of his mouth.

    He is ....for a fact. But he might also be worth 1 first Rd pick.

    Not sure but people around the league want him.

    That may or may not be the case, but I don't think that's how Clutch imagines it.

    He'd trade Sengun for Mitchell Robinson in the blink of an eye.

    I haven't heard him praise Sengun without adding the word "offensively".
