Case for Trading Up to get Alperen Sengun

He's #5 on my personal Rockets board. Can't imagine we can trade up high enough to get him, but if we wanted to we could move down to get him and other assets. Does anyone rate him highly enough to have him in the same tier as Green and Mobley?

 

Mobley
Suggs
Cade
Sengun
Green

I take Mobley with 2. Trade Wood to Gsw for 7+14. Take Sengun with 7. Mobley/Sengun front court for the next 15 years we bring the new age twin towers back to Houston and dare anyone to play small ball vs us.

 

Ambitious, other teams trading our 2's inside for their 3's outside perhaps

 

If you love that pass you should be going nuts over Mobley's passing clips.

Sengun's post offense and disruptive hands on defense is special IMO.

 

I knew he needed more work on 3ball but 19% from 3 is yikes.

Good thing he's only 18.

 

i think its a small sample size not sure but imho he took only 32 of these if i recall well...

hes similar to me in this aspect, for a long time he didnt even need to shoot them because he could dominate without long shot and playing in the post is more fun

ft % is more indicative of his shooting ability to me

 

didnt bucks won the same way?
and the lakers last year?

 

FULL GAME with some insight comments and analysis

 

They won cuz their big men can shadow PHX and Heat's small men.

If Sengun had Scottie Barnes's agility on defense he'd be no 1 pick.

 

I like this a lot, although I would want 7,14 and a future pick or 2nd rounder this year.

 

80% from the line and noted to have a good work ethic means he probably will improve in this area.

 

I would trade Wood, 23, and 24 for 7, 14, Wiseman, and Oubre.

I take Sengun at 14.

At 7, I would take someone that fell. Someone like a Kuminga .

 

Much more realistic than Green comparing himself to Kobe, actually.

 

Nando De Colo was drafted like a decade ago... it's not like he was an unknown or something.
