    Offense is so much better when there is movement off ball allowing Sengun's arguable best asset - his vision - to shine.

    Was doing him and the team a huge disservice earlier this season without any movement at all.

    BEAST!!

    If Sengun is not getting 5+ assists we're wasting his talent. The team seems to have a renewed focus on sharing the ball, cutting, moving.

    Exactly. If there is a world where JG and Alperen can truly co-exist, it is one where JG is taking 20 shots and dropping 30s, but the offense is running primarily throughout Alperen as the decision maker.

    Please lawd let it be.

    Very possible with Princeton, but to run Princeton has always required lightning in a bottle. You need all 3 of:

    - Passing big
    - Intelligent rotation players
    - Offensively tactically gifted HC or AC

    If we get an offensive coordinator, it can be done. Look at what a Princeton-ish offense did for Fox's career. The summer before Mike Brown, this board considered Fox a dead weight contract similar to Bradley Beal. Brown - after studying the Warriors for years - revived his and Fox's careers and became the blueprint for how to use Fox.

    I think it's impressive none of those elite big men can match that Sengun triple double stat, even when they played subpar teams back to back.

    Good comeback bruh - you don't have a rebuttal to my statement...eyeball test proves his balls shrink when he goes up against an All-Star Big

    Yeah, the scoring and rebounds are good, but the assists are elite.

    It took you 3 days to find 1 game out of 4 seasons where Sengun played well against an Elite 2-way Center
