    Sengun was the MVP of Europe's second best league (Spanish league and Turkish league)while the other young players were playing in their kindergartens.
    l love all our young players, but Alperen was already a star on his own, before NBA.
    This is not disrespect to Jalen and Jabari, but this is a realite..

    What does being “woke” have to do with anything? :D

    Weird post. Being sensitive, being considerate, being kind, are by and large wonderful things to be, within reason. This should be obvious.

    Some of the hardest, toughest damn players ever were all of the above.

    Sadly if you have already blocked him, you will never hit 50 pages before Christmas.

    It's official - you know Sengun has arrived when people are starting to call him "overrated"

    It's crazy because Wagner has been balling too. It should be more evenly distributed. This baby Jokic ting is fu*king up ppl's thought process.

    No, he is just that good, and people around the NBA have taken notice.

    He is clearly the best player in the last three drafts.

    I still can't confidently say that he's better than Wagner

    Wagner is better than Banchero, but not as good as Sengun.

    No one is calling Wagner "Baby Dirk".

    Still holding out? There's still room on the Sengun bandwagon.

    At this point, I am focusing on building around the front court of Sengun and Smith. I just think that they go super well together.

    I haven't watched magic games but just by general reasoning, it is not absurd. Sengun is shaping a whole offense contributing in so many different ways, not just scoring and making assists(and he is better than Wagner at those too). And how often do you find a player like sengun vs wagner? Getting playmaking from your center is so much extra value in terms of offense, this alone makes the answer easy for me. I love Sengun's passing but it gives me most joy when he goes out and finds a mismatch easily, or even points out the mismatch to other players who are not aware of it.

    You can look at win shares as well to see the Sengun effect. Sengun is 2 wins in a 8 win team(25% of wins contributed), Wagner is 1.6 in a 13 win team(12.3% of wins contributed).

    445 pages... all for nothing when #28 gets traded for the Miles Turner(Jalen's real Robin) before deadline.

    Sengun is clearly a star and I am starting to think that he is going to end up being a top five player at some point. He is just so naturally good at this early stage.
