    I can't believe how much the truth hurts your feelings...

    Are you really in denial about the fact that Jalen has become elite defensively, as we have witnessed Murray couldn't even score on him?

    Jalen dropped 25 on his head btw.. your boy only scored 22 with terrible efficiency.

    He’s just some troll. Probably a KPJ fan trying to make people not like Green by spewing nonsense.
    Using the best player on the team to drive a wedge in the fan base.

    Just a terrible human. Even worse are the people co-signing his ignorance, like HLM.

    Who was a "weaker mindset"?

    Also, skinny dudes usually have the most room to grow. You don't want to trade away the talented skinny dudes.

    Dude, have you watched 90s or 00s ball?

    If you think Dillon is tough, he is a kid against the Pistons of old.

    Bari and Jalen would be eaten alive, I have never seen players being coached up after every possession 15 years ago....

    But okay, everyone is woke, sensitive and have brittle feelings nowadays. For sure.

    Nobody said anything about trading (cannot speak for everyone around here), I said do not pick them in the first place.

    Agreeing to disagree, I have no real issue with that.... I am shaking my head for years now.

    The Rockets got props for making the decision early to start Bruno Fernando over Alperen Sengun, just about a year ago.

    I remember that Sengun had a month last season (I think it was January) already where his PER ranking was already top 10 or close to it.

    Then Silas hit him with something like a DNP - coach's decision and reduced his minutes and touches.

    It was unbelievable.

    I'm curious about how they come up with these "stats"... it seems like they favor the players who control the ball a lot, but that doesn't mean they're better, especially on a young team like ours.

    Green has a higher usage than anyone on the team other than Alp.
    Virtually the same with those two

    In a few years, they will say the same about Sengun.

    The Jokic/Sengun archetype is unique, and delivers.

    it's kinda strange... If that's true, Jalen should totally be in the top 10 on this list. I feel like there's some shady stuff going on with the stats against Jalen here.

    Sengun is simply a marvel. He has the heart of a lion, the instincts of a vampire, and the reflexes of a mongoose.

    Sengun is the best player in this team.. no one can discuss about this.. he is a complete player and has the highest basketball iq in this team. At least 4-5 possible of his asists are wasted in every match from his team mates who are not in the same level of basketball iq of his..
    Optimistic about Jabari, but for Jalen.. too early..
    But l love our core where Sengun Will be the main guy...
