    Next summer we have to persuade Sengun to stay here and hit gym heavy. Dude need to develop a lil more muscle to help with his balance. He ends up on the floor way too often for a big. They need to focus on really developing due. Heading into Next year he needs to be above 30 minutes per game. Even if we don’t plan to keep him, he becomes a high asset either way

    I wish he could but nt going to summon him to tournaments . If he won't join without any solid excuse he would be fined and probaly be labeled by turkish fans and media as traitor . The thing is if he won't play at nt his hometown would reject him even he is the best basketball player from that city. Nts are much more important than club teams at europe( not only europe but every country other than usa)

    Hell, I'm British, but my Texan father and grandmother made it perfect clear what "football" is in Texas. Dude should know his audience for real haha

    I'd wager it ranks top 5 amongst brisket, firearms, HEB, and Bucee's in our state. Big Red is probably also a top candidate.

    My old football coach ranked it this way in order of life's importance in Texas:

    1. God
    2. Mom
    3. Football (American)

    Certainly holds true on my Texas side of the family in all honesty. Though they're almost as nuts about the Rockets as they are about football. Dream might as well be the second coming in my family.

    Absolutely! I was just referencing what my old HS football coach would say to us. Not a huge baseball (totally awesome the Stros won it all though!) or soccer guy myself, but to each their own!

    I really hope Alpern can improve his 3 pt shot. That would be rediculous to put him at the top of the 3 pt line and just distribute.

    I was thinking the elbow but his low post is unworldly now. When was the last player to back down and post up like that? No one / ever. Back down like Barkley then use countermoves like Hakeem in the post (Dream was feed the ball in the low post). On top of that he will hit cutters and throw skip passes to open players when he is double teamed. Sengun’s game is based on IQ and skills if he chooses he could play at an elite level for 20+ years. (Yes I know I’m comparing him to all time greats, which is silly, but watch the games)

    Or pump fake and try to drive to the rim even though no one falls for it anymore.

    they have to respect him at 3pt line already... if they sag off of him hes at the rim in 1 sec and 2 dribbles...you dont need a 3 pointer to be amazing floor spacer...do you even ball bro?
