    It's not even about race.

    Sengun is 6'11 vs j Allen 6'9. Yet U refuse to believe that Allen is shorter than sengun. That's basically refusing to believe in the measurement system. Quite a stupid look but what can u expect from an anti sengun dude.

    We have it all
    folk btches about senguns defense while pining for cwood's defense.
    folk Btch about sengun being too short while clearly ignoring that there r current center even shorter that they like.

    Folk Ask for patience for kpj and proceeds to sht on green and sengun when they were given less time.

    Folks can come to a reasonable conclusion that anti sengun folks are bias as fk. Some folks even have the balls to say they "support" sengun as they proceed to bash on him without any real merit.

    I look at Jabari as a prototypical 4 in today's league. Probably we'll start with him and either Gordon or KJ Martin as the other forward. If Eason is as good as he appears to be, the Rockets should look to move Martin and get Eason in the starting lineup before the end of the season. The lineup I'm looking forward to seeing is Porter - Green - Eason - Smith - Sengun.

    About what? U denying basic math?

    Last I checked 6'11 was taller than 6'9. Don't b salty u are getting exposed for being a pretentious fk

    Gonna make up more sht to slander sengun while pretending to support him? Some folks always like to fake concerns when they don't like a player.

    Sengun/Green 2 man game is unstoppable. Good to see these guys look for each other. Alpy hitting 3s makes me so happy! Nice game.

    You can say this all you want, doesn’t make it true.
    I’m a Houston boy born and bred, I support all of our young players. But you keep on thinking your way.
    You’re a Sengun only hater, that’s the obvious part

    This is what excites me, Green seems to genuinely like playing team ball

    I finally put him on ignore. Looking at how obsessively he posts, perhaps it's just an alt account of the other two obsessive KPJ fans/Sengun haters.

    Was a decent game from Alpi. He looked much more engaged offensively and defensively. Loved the block and want more of that, plus thought his defense on one of the early possessions was solid but the refs called it a foul. My point is he doesn't have to get the block to be a rim protector and that play was an example.

    Would like to see more rebounds from the 5 spot but it looks like the Rockets are focusing on rebounding by committee and I'm good with that too. Him hitting 3's and the PNR play were the most encouraging things though. I agree the Jalen-Alpi pick and roll will be unstoppable. Just imagine if Alpi can pop and hit the short jumper out of some of those.... maaaaan I'm salivating over here.

    I don't know how valid the criticisms about Sengun are at the center position, but one thing I think we can do is easily debunk the one where he's too short or lacks the size for that position.
    I do acknowledge that i didn't factor the wingspan and whatnot but here's a list of what I assume are the starting Center in the league. Keep in mind that Sengun can still grow/bulk up since he's still young at 6'11

    Wizards Kristaps Porzingis: 7’3
    Wolves Rudy Gobert: 7’1
    Spurs Jakob Poelt: 7’1
    76ers Joel Embiid: 7’0Knicks Mitchel Robinson 7’0
    Pelicans Jonas Valanciunas: 7’0
    Hornets Mark Williams: 7’0
    Clippers Ivica Zubac: 7’0
    Thunder Chet: 7’0 (didn’t really bother to find his replacement since he’s out with injury)
    Mavs Javale Mcgee: 7’0 (Cwood 6’9)
    Bucks Brooke Lopez: 7’0
    Nuggets Joker: 6’11
    Jazz: Kelly Olynk: 6’11
    Grizzles Steven Adams: 6’11
    Kings Domantas Sabonis: 6’11
    Blazers Jusuf Nurkic: 6’11
    Lakers Damian Jones: 6’11 (Davis 6’10)
    Pacers Myles Turner: 6’11
    Suns Deandre Ayton; 6’11
    Hawks Clint Capela: 6’10
    Nets Ben Simmons: 6’10
    Magic Wendell Carter Jr: 6’10
    Bulls Nikola Vucevic: 6’10
    Celtics Robert Williams: 6’9
    Heat Bam Adebayo: 6’9
    Cavs Jarret Allen: 6’9
    Warriors Kevin Looney: 6’9 (Green 6’6)
    Raptors Pascal Siakam: 6’8
    Piston Isiah Stewart: 6’8 (Bagley 6’10)

    Only 11 teams have taller center. It's safe to say that Sengun isn't too short to play center. a lot of folks look at Sengun and like to take the easy lazy route to dismiss his potential at center citing height as a reason

    No im just triggered that a hypocrite btching about Sengun's defense, is pining for Christian wood defense of all things.

    That's like seeing folks on here hate/btch about Harden's "ball hoggin ways", and then cheering for KPJ when he does it.

    He has the reading comprehension of a rotten turnip...lol.....

    In his small mind you have to support them and can't talk about what they need to develop....

    u should read the convo b4 interjecting mr. hypocrite. this dude is rejecting the simple notion that a 6'11 sengun is taller than a 6'9 jarret allen. Somehow he thinks folks callin him out is bc of a race issue and what not.

    Are u also rejecting basic math?

    He is not 6'11" I am going to reject that......he is more like 6'9"......Jabari is well taller than him.

    It’s okay for other players to get criticism, but not Sengun. How is that fair, man? Why do we all have to think he’s great?!

    Rookie pictures last year:

    upload_2022-10-15_11-51-21.jpeg

    Garuba is listed at 6’8.

    Did Sengun grow a couple inches in the last year to now be considered 6’11?
