There is no need to experiment anymore. The Hypothesis has been proven! The Rockets need to play off of Sengun whenever he is in the game. Listening to the post-game pressers you can tell both Silas and the payers have confidence in what Sengun can do when he has the ball in his hands. I am fine with ALP staying at about 25 minutes game if he is used effectively during those minutes.
Not sure if this has been posted already…saw it on Twitter. He is close to 6 assists per 36 at age 18. With a bit of improvement and good health, he has a chance to become one of the greatest passing bigs ever.
I think FT drawing rate might be even more amazing than this...it gotta be.. hes on prime hardens level
Sengun doesn't just play like a grizzled vet, but he sees the game better than most vets. Too skilled and too productive to keep off the court. And he needs to be used at Point.
Silas said that they try to play Sengun at both high and low post. But I'm seeing Sengun play mostly above the arc. The closer Sengun is to the rim, the better the results, but I'd settle for him to initiate offense more from the elbow to maximize spacing. Sengun loves guys who move off ball, screen-rescreen, and cutters will absolutely get fed.
He's a bit too selfless, but that's just a very minor complaint. There was a play against the Magic where he had Cole Anthony in the mid post and was looking to pass out to EG and EG made an "attacking gesture" for Sengun to use the mismatch against Anthony. Got the bucket.
