    you know generally jalen,kpj tyt nix or jaygup starts the play and sengun comes for screen bla bla..
    only jalen uses it correctly ,
    if jabari sets the screens for guards he can find easyshots . his midrange shots are getting better
    alperen can wait in the post, he is better close to rim

    You start shitty threads
    use homophobic slurs
    make Alpi fans look bad
    and you add nothing to this forum

    I am a pretty non-confrontational person, so the fact that I'm even saying anything to you at all means that you're doing pretty bad.

    I don't think we'll be seeing very much of you in a little while, though.

    Don't know about the other stuff, but the basic idea of using Jabari as the screener instead of Sengun more makes sense to me, because Jabari is more of a jump shooter from range, and would be free quite often after the screen.

    The problem with Sengun not screening at the perimeter means both him and his defender are in the post or at the very least, his defender still will be. This is also why it is so important for Sengun to develop reliable shooting from some type of ranged distance.

    Why is that a problem? It would help get Jabari free for the jump shot, or the guard attacks the basket, or they pass it to Sengun who then destroys his defender 1-1 or passes it to the right person.

    Guard can't attack nor can Bari roll if Sengun and his defender are clogging up the paint.

    Do you think that defender would otherwise be somewhere out in No Man's Land? The idea is that Bari would get free for a jump shot. He could also pass to Sengun instead.

    A PnR play is pointless if defenders know it will result in either a Bari jump shot or an attempt to pass into the post which our team is collectively terrible at. The entire point of a PnR is to overwhelm the D with scoring options. Then there is the fact of whether or not we want to base throw it into the post that often or if we even can depending on who is guarding Sengun. If Embiid is on him for example, having Sengun post up is really the last thing I would want to see.

    You know, if you ever looked at even one of my posts, you probably would've figured out that I am a big Alpi fan who has an even bigger problem with Silas. But I expect nothing from you so I'm not disappointed. You don't have to keep replying to me, by the way. I'm not that important
