    I think Silas is good at developing talent, he's just not food at coaching.

    But I'm curious as to why you think I' want Bruno?

    No, it is very obvious Silas has no idea how to even identify talent.
    He’s pigeon holing players into positions they don’t need to be in and can’t make different strengths work.

    And you know why you like Bruno and not Alp.

    We've established Silas is not a good head coach but I'm still curious why you think I like Bruno over Al-P? Other than he fits better with the starting unit.

    Being that we've never met or had indept conversations about this, so I'm curious.

    Listen Ballgame, you’re too obvious in Texans chat and this one.

    You keep asking for Bruno to return like he actually is a good defender or offensive player (here’s a tip, he’s not)
    But yeah, let’s blame Alp.

    Lol. If OP calls All Stars average players, I can live with Sengun being just “average”. And I’m not even that high on Sengun.

    If its obvious, why are you unable to say what you're thinking? Isn't that what REAL men do?

    And since you've been following me for so long, like you always do. I'm just curious as to why you think I want Bruno.

    Comprehension is golden, if you dont have it, well you just don't UNDERSTAND. I said, Wiggins is an above avg player, not great. Lillard who has one more All-Star appearance is a player who I consider great.

    All - Star appearances does not equate to greatness.

    This is what you said:

    I’m not expecting “greatness” from Sengun. If he can make couple of all star appearances, I’d be extremely happy.

    if you’re not happy with a #16 pick becoming all star one day, I’d really like to know what your expectations are.

    You know why. You don’t even deny it.
    You’re a bigoted person who stereotypes. That’s ok though, I accept it.
    You’re still wrong about pretty much every opinion you have regarding the Rockets.
    The numbers don’t support you even a little bit.

    I guess my question to you is what has either of those players done? None of their teams have been anything of note.

    So to me, that's why I don't consider them on the level as a Damian Lillard, Paul George or a Pascal Siakam.

    To me they are avg to above avg. players, correct?

    Simple answer: NO. See post #33. Being an all star makes you 94-95 percentile among all players. In what world is that considered average?

    Not many players can carry a team on their own. Doesn’t mean they’re not good. Heck Nash the multi-MVP couldn’t even win a ring. I guess that makes him average too? And the “greatness” in Lillard has won him what exactly?

    you don’t know what average means, that is the only reasonable explanation.

    You still haven't said anything, like usual, other than what and who you really are, a bigoted and stereotypical person. And since your conversation is limited, like your vocabulary, I'll continue to look past your limited takes as usual.

    You don't have to win a ring to be considered great. Harden, A.I, Barkley, Karl Malone, Gary Payton and Nash are all great players who never won a ring but they could carry teams into the playoffs and make deep playoff runs.

    I see Vucevic and Sabonas as role players and role players are considered to be avg to above avg players.

    All Star = 95 percentile

    You can view them however you want to in your mind. But you are simply wrong

    Turkey is a pretty neat country, lots of cool stuff there - still too much religion for my taste, but it is pretty.

    If Sengun makes even one all-star I would be ecstatic. That being said, Silas is an idiot and Sengun can be a starter in this league if used properly.

    Rich coming from a person that has said the things you’ve said. You know who you are, can’t have an honest conversation with you because of the person you are.
    Everyone in the Texans forum knows how you are. Just because you bring it subtlety here doesn’t mean it’s not obvious.
