    Sengun needs to hit the weight room. He should have been able to lift Green over his head.

    KPJ needs to come off the bench so the starting unit can play through Sengun.

    He plays better with Bruno as his lob target anyways.

    It certainly is interesting. Green’s handles and ball protection lacks at times but that takes reps and time. I’m not sure if handing him the keys at point is the answer. He works best coming off ball for a handoff or when he initiates the half court offense. This team still lacks a ball handler at that position. As I said before I think this team needs a defensive minded pg with 3 ability and quick enough to dribble drive while not doing too much to take away from Green and Sengun in the half court. Offense can run through Sengun at the high screen or elbows.

    I don't think he can be a full time lead ball handler now. Definitely not. But when he's 24? 25? I can see it especially with added strength. A large portion of secure handles is being able to hold your position while being bodied.

    Completely agree.

    One guy who fits that bill pretty well coming out in the draft this year is Cason Wallace. Him and Eazy Eason both ripping the ball right out of guys' hands is something I need in my life.

    A vet who would be absolutely perfect for that role is Lonzo Ball, but his health is a big concern.

    I just read on Rocketswire that "Over seven games since Jan. 11, Jalen Green is averaging 28.2 points and 3.5 assists for the Rockets on 46.9% shooting and 38.6% on 3-pointers. Meanwhile, Sengun is averaging 19.4 points (67.9% FG), 10.6 rebounds and 7 assists per game over that same period".
    Looks promising..

    Nah, but for real I need to know because I blocked that dude the other day and then I unblocked him, but I was seriously thinking about blocking him again because of a comment he made yesterday that I won't post here, but it was about Kobe Bryant and his daughter.

    If this is hakeem94, I'll leave him unblocked I guess because at least now I know who I'm dealing with and I have years of familiarity with how he is. Dude is making a name for himself around Twitter with some of the stuff he is posting, I will give him that lol. At least once a day somebody posts something crazy he says in one of the group chats I'm in.

    dont like this 3 and d label..imho ariza was 3 and d, tari and bari can become what become of brown and tatum

    especially tari already can put it on the floor and drive very aptly even tho it doesnt look aesthetic, and he has that mentality unlike ariza, it is very efficient at least in constantly being able to get to the rim, still has some problem finishing but it will come with greater minutes....

    I said the same thing when someone pointed that out. I forgot who. Not sure how they found out.

    Cause she writes like turkish ultras. That destroyed hakeem94 image in my mind i always imagined her as someone between apachees of ankara and turkish soccer commentators on tv shows.
