    Why some of you keep asking these dumb questions even while everybody know the answer?

    There is only one. His was the original "franchise player" thread. The others were started in jest.

    Not sure if that player is on the team yet. Sengun is the best of the young players right now and Amen has the highest somewhat reasonable ceiling.

    Also, if the Rockets build around internal players, I think it would be on players and not one player. Rockets need to figure out if Amen (or Jalen) and Sengun work like FVV and Sengun are working, but probably earliest the Rockets will have a decent idea on that is next season some time.

    I agree with you. Everyone knows who is he, but some people still do not accept it. That's why I want them to write their reasons. who ? and why ?

    Nah I dont have the patience to babysit. Real Rocket fans dont give a flying fk who is the "best" player on this team after withstanding the last 3 years. Im enjoying the ride and wont let the insecurity of new fans who have found a 'great national hope' derail that with fantasy 2k GM builds.

    I get pretty ****ing tired of the continued and constant slighting of Boban.

    Build around the big guy.

    howabout you build a TEAM... where everybody contributes... where u devise a gameplan thats gonna maximize the productivity of everybody on the floor... instead of catering and coddling to one guy with the hopes that he becomes a superstar and is able to put the whole team on his back...

    nevermind...

    some of yal never get it... smh

    Boban is the victory cigar. The definition of "franchise player"

    Its an organic process. Right now, Sengun is undoubtedly the most ready and consistent and the Rockets should continue to play through him. He has the highest ball IQ on the team (with Vanvleet) and is only going to continue to get better. Jalen and Jabari are having to re-learn how to play basketball, at least pro basketball the right way and it will take a couple of seasons until we finally see what their true ceilings are going to be like. The Silas era was really detrimental to their development. I feel like Sengun, like most Euros, are ready to contribute to NBA teams right away.
