    Sengun is young but so is Jalen and everybody else. Plus wasn't Sengun anointed the franchise player here? No accountability?

    Nobody is being awarded anything. So far, Sengun is our best player. Of that, there is no doubt. Doesn’t mean he will always be. Jalen has potential, so far that is it. I expect both to get better, as well as Jabari. We are going to be a team with mulitple all-stars and I’ll take that over one superstar anyway. Oh, and Amen is on the way.

    You can't deny the progress they have made this coming from being the worst team last year. The teams they lost to are among the best teams in the league its not like Grizzlies were punking them for 30.

    Nobody is saying he is joker, but he is on the right path. He is ahead of where I expected him to be.

    I agree, we need to be faster, that has to do with FVV and his old man game. He not running

    While size matters, I think the team's greatest need is shooting/scoring. We need a sharpshooter. Amen Thompson is not that player. Maybe, Cam Whitmore, eventually.

    They're young man, plain and simple.

    We are still learning how to win but the progress of at least winning at home but not on the road is something to be celebrated. We've far exceeded the expectations set for this team to begin the season. We still aren't ready to perform consistently but they are at the very least competing and still gaining some much needed experience.

    Next season I expect them to be a good playoff team. Everyone should try to temper their expectations and appreciate that we aren't the SA Spurs with the most polarizing draftee in more than a few decades yet the worst record in the league.

    Nothing about FVV. If we had a Capela running pick & roll, we'd get way better looks. Our offense looks sluggish at times because we don't have our starting center is usually getting beat down court.

    Honestly we need a sharpshooter and a thick legit backup big who is at least 7 foot tall. Without that we will not make any splash this year.

    Yeah those two things and boy the rockets will flood the league. “Splaaaaaash” You got it figured out. It’s really amazing how horrendous you sound and don’t even know it

    If you are implying that the Rockets need "more" you are correct.

    No I’m laughing at the fact that op thinks for the rockets to make a splash they’re a Nick Richards and McDermott away

    I don't think Jabari and Alperen are undersized.

    I think they are 20 and 21 years old. Call me crazy.
