    As he should. Nobody else seems to know how to play smart basketball

    I’m so happy that he’s not discouraged by this incompetent coaching staff.

    Out of everyone saying that they're a leader, or want to be a leader, I would feel the most comfortable with the team in his 19-year-old hands.

    Why? Because he plays like a leader: communicating, crashing the boards, good body language, excellent basketball IQ.

    Plus he's deceptively athletic and with a sturdy body :D

    Right on! Love to hear it.

    Sengun IS that guy...even at 19...and he knows it.

    Just to remind everyone: a team can have a leader and also a high level scorer. Doesn't always have to be the same person. We should feel lucky that we have two 19 year olds who are aiming to be extraordinary and I can see them working well together in the long run.

    I wanted to be extraordinary at 19 as well. But she said no.

    Sounds like you're playing in the wrong offensive system

    This guys a stud
    His ceiling is not as high as 90% of players in the nba due to wingspan/athleticism, but he damn sure maximizes his ability in every facet of the game.

    He is obviously the most "basketball skilled" player on the team. He is not the most athletic, but exhibits a maturity beyond his years and has a high basketball IQ.

    Ryan Hollins agrees. He was openly campaigning for Sengun, and different rotations tonight. He and Craig have a bit of work to do chemistry wise, but Hollins is growing on me, not gonna lie.

    His passing and use of counters in the post are pretty high-level. His shot has been looking good. He is not an unskilled player by any means. His skill level is deceptive in my opinion.

    Though I get your point and agree that his maturity and bball IQ are key factors in his success
