    Gobert is exactly the kind of center that gives Sengun fits, and he's the best of that archetype. Alpi has had a lot of practice against athletic rim protectors lately, so hopefully that will pay off. Going to be an intriguing matchup.

    But no excuses, doesn't matter who we're facing--Get out there and win!

    I think he's owned Jalen every time. Ant plays real aggressive and Jalen fails to respond and defers to his teammates.

    Here's to hoping that changes! But, not likely.

    Hope I bring good news when I say, you’re both mistaken wrt the “last time they played.”

    Jalen Green had arguably his best game last year (if not his entire career) vs Ant and Minny, the last time they played.

    I see Jalen Green as equal talent as K.J McDaniel, both insane athleticism but just don’t have iq nor shooting to back up that physical gifts.

    Too harsh

    I'm worried about Jalen kinda treading water, but he was already much better than McDaniels even as a rookie.

    I remember Edwards said Cookies and Jalen Green Struggled Edwards Dunked on Sengun Twice at Minnesota Wolves Won, next time they played Jalen Green Won and Dominated Edwards. Edwards was quiet.
