    Why do Sengun talk to balls?

    sure. I said someone who can read lips in Turkish. Basically I am saying someone who can do it, can do it easily.

    You guys are missing it. He stopped talking to the ball and started talking to the rim.

    Watch next time; he stares right at the rim and says something. Seems Alpi figured out it wasn't the ball that was causing the problems.

    He found the cheat code embedded in the magnetic rim.

    Notice Curry does the same thing when he shoots 3s.

    :D

    If he had made 84% of his free throws on the season his points per game average would go from 21.1 to 21.7. Not a huge difference, but noticeable.

    I would also like to see him work on his conditioning and stay on the floor ~35 minutes per game, which I expect would get him to around 24, 10, and 6 (if combined with aforementioned FT%).

    Those two things combined get him to fringe All-NBA/borderline superstar status IMO.

    Now, if he could also shoot 38% on 4 threes per game...

    I have updated my hopes on ft shooting to at least 85%. I think he can get there in two years.

    In terms of ppg it’s not huge but just in terms of weaknesses, Sengun is a very efficient scorer, but 70% or 64% this year before the routine change is very inefficient from the line. It may be better off to hack him than to let him get off a post shot. But at 84% that option is off the table for defenders, it makes him a more complete offensive player.

    He needs to shoot the 3 with confidence. I sm certain he will get to 37%.
