    Of course.

    But he is already excelling in multiple areas as a ROOK.

    More than solid.

    Everyone has Sengun fever so Sengun will (and already is) run away with it.
    Ask on draft night and Green runs away with it.

    Will stick with Green. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    They'll be the next Olajuwon-Matt Maloney duo.

    Five years from now...I see this team going from one win at the moment, to being, at minimum, really good...toting at least two All Stars.

    The better question is how are we going to keep Chet, Green and Sengun after 4 trips to finals 2024,2025,2026 and 2028.
    Right now Sengun is man among 14 point junior high schoolers in his class.

    This isn't a vs. Its not like one will suck and the other will be good. They both might be good. It will just be cool to see 5 years ago how absurd some of our takes will be.

    I like Sengun better now. Green looks very raw at present. But, who knows. Sengun plays "old style" basketball. Green is mostly flash and absurd athleticism. Of further concern, Green doesn't look very durable. He could snap one of those skinny legs off pretty easy. You won't confuse Sengun with a WNBA player. Green is another story.

    I was thinking of the best parts of that pairing, but yeah T-Mac had insufferable traits.

    Not really, it was the regular season at his end when his body and his will broke down.

    The Playoffs were mixed, he would go on a tear in the first 3-4 games and then he couldn't close out the series.

    They will be good for sure but the question will always be in their first season, would they have made more progress with another coach?

    Drumroll. Bah dum.

    Can Alpi improve his athleticism? He's already very good in basketball fundamentals, maybe even close to his ceiling there. If he continues to be a plodding, unathletic big Im not sure how he would be better in 5 years when Jalen has all the athleticism in the world and only needs to shore up the fundamentals.

    Seems like a loaded question just to get the factions to go to war, but for the record I think Sengun is a great player. He's just clumsy and slow footed at times and those may not be areas where you can improve, but .....

    I HOPE IM WRONG!!! :D:D:D

    The answer to the OP is "neither"

    Because both green and sengun will be dead from a nuclear war

    Have a good Thanksgiving guys might be your last

    Sengun! Already fundamentally sound at 19 years old. Foot work, positioning, instincts and attitude are all there. Once the threes start dropping consistently, the league better watch out. He also doesn't need the ball in his hands to be effective.

    If Sengun is the one passing Green the lobs they will both be good in 5 years. JC and Grauba will probably be there with them.
