    I think it's pretty obvious that Sengun is more athletic than Jokic. At the same time, Jokic is significantly more massive compared to the vast majority of his peers.

    Bulk up? He’s already bulkier and better than your savior Victor lololol
    3pt shot? Have you’ve seen Giannis? (who was the 15th pick btw lolol)
    Defense? Nikola, 2x MVP, does not play defense (who was the 41st pick! Take that for data!) Nor does Harden.

    Joker is amazing, but damn is he slow. I really gotta see how they do come playoff time and if he's going to be a liability. If he is, and Alpi gets even half of his skill set, i'd rather Alpi keep his mobility to make up for his lack of height/length. I hope we don't bulk him. He's already pretty solid top to bottom, tip to pubic bone.

    @AroundTheWorld keeps saying Sengun is athletic bc he dunks. Umm I would hope so at his height. Wtf, have you ever played basketball in your life?! The rim isn’t 15 feet lol

    Although I have watched every game of the Rockets I haven't notice Sengun as being ATHLETIC! Y

    He's not and won't ever be he needs to figure out how to play good position defense or he is going to be limited as a 15-20 min player in the future.

    Whatever he is doing physically he needs to keep doing it. Listed at 243. Just keep him in weight rooms and on his diet he'll get to 250+ easy.

    besides alpis dunks are mostly with a lot of people around
    ie the situations where you need a real athleticism to overcome opponents and dunk the ball

    cant really remember any jalen green's or KPJ's dunks that weren't in 100% transition with literally noone around...

    Are we just going to ignore that those Turkish unis look like bootlegged Rockets gear from 2004. Back to the subject, not bulky just more toned.

    Sengun isn't athletic and doesn't necessarily have to be athletic. He has pretty incredible balance tbh and pretty agile in tight spaces even though he looks very sluggish while running. Dude can drive in like a guard. I'd really love him to have longer arms though. He needs to get thicker not to get pushed around. While he has tree trunk legs his upper body is way too weaker in comparison.

    I think he has elite fundamentals so it won't be any problem for him. He'll simply find a way to adjust to his new body i think.

    lol at the mental gymnastics!!
    he who scores on an unset Defense is athletic by definition
    your definition of athleticism seems to be narrowminded and tunnel visioned here
