    You need to face the music. Sengun played 28 minutes a game in
    Turkish league but only 29 games plus 5 playoff games

    explain going from 40% from 3 to 7.7% from 3 near that range.
    Kid ain't in Turkey anymore.

    Advanced metrics are literally PROJECTIONS and fantasy stats lol. Jalen Green is by FAR our best talent. Sengun is max Vlade Divac. By the end of year, you'll be blaming Coach Silas on Sengun not "being a star". Based on the eye test, Green will be a SUPERSTAR

    All these arguments between Sengun and Green, why not both become superstars? Problem solved.

    And you are now blocked.

    Really should be no room in this forum for your bigotry.

    Dude, Divac‘s NBA numbers were not that great, at least his scoring numbers and assist numbers could be surpassed, to be had.

    His block rate was good admittedly. Steal numbers could be outdone too.

    Interesting because I pointed out the clear Sengun bias here, and now I'm being accused of the bias? Lol. Sengun will be a decent role player, in the same category as Luis Scola (one of my favorite players).
    Bigotry? Lol. There is literally nothing bigotry in not thinking highly of a player's talent. You're projecting you're own ignorance on others

    Sengun is a 6'10 white male. Not a black hole. I know of only two things that are black holes, one in outer space when a star explodes, and the other is in my bum bum.

    He needs to learn to play out and let his teammates drive. Can't clog up the middle every possession

    When Sengun gets a reliable outside shot it’s going to take his game to the next level.

    Vlade was an excellent player and very good defender. If Sengun turns out as good as him then that will be stellar. That said Sengun is showing significantly better assist numbers than Vlade as a rookie and he's 2 years younger.

    Both Jalen and Sengun have a lot of things to work on. It's hard for me to see Green as clearly the best talent when he has never shown the ability to shoot consistently at any point in his youth, high school, G league and now NBA career. I feel like he should be a knockdown shooter, but it's just not there yet. They both need to keep hitting the gym and shooting 3s this offseason.

    It is hideous when he passes up a perfectly natural shot.

    Vlade was a solid nba player. Me comparing Sengun to Vlade doesn't make me a bigot lol.

    They both need to work on their games. But the narrative Sengun is our best player is stupidity at it's highest level. Not saying you're spreading this, but this is the foolishness I've calling out.

    Sengun is the best rookie on the team, period. Has tremendous upside.
    He and Green can be a great duo. Green has a lot further to go to reach his potential.
    Might be a case of higher floor vs higher ceiling.
    Anyone that claims different has obvious biases.

    Nah **** that ****, you CONSTANTLY try and insert race into the argument and then put it on others, it's bullshit. And before you even try that ****, I'm not white, and you're not gonna flip the script on me in any way, shape or form. Everybody can see your post history and the bullshit narratives you're trying to push, clown.

    Edit: Also, you're too transparent with your blind hatred of Sengun. All of your posts are either criticising Sengun or claiming fans only like him because he's white (though actually Middle-Eastern and not "white European" so even that's moronic.) You're nowhere near as slick as you think you are, out here pulling far-right Trumptard tricks like nobody got wise to them the last few years.

    Constantly insert race? Give me examples. I DID however point out the bias towards Sengun here and other players from different countries. If Sengun plays decent "he's our best player". If he plays bad it's the refs fault or Silas might be "incompetent" or "racist". THIS is what I'm responding too. You're clearly a idiot

    My opinion is purely basketball. He's not our best player and will probably never be. He'll be lucky to become Luis Scola. Is that racial? No. He'll probably be a role player. You keep raising the expectations on him and YOU will look stupid not me
