    If all you can come up with is Moses Malone, this is high praise for Sengun.

    Hey idiot, I didn't come up with anything, just pointing out to the other idiot that saying Alpi is the best big man behind Hakeem (in Rockets history) speaks of ignorance. Sengun is behind Yao and Big E as well. I'm also not trying to degrade Alpi because he certainly has a bright future ahead of him but saying he's greater than HOFers?? Um NO!!

    It's just silly talk. You can't rate Sengun among these guys, because he's only done it for a quarter of a season. If keeps playing like this he could surpass Big E and Yao. Moses is going to be tough. I love Sengun and think he should be an all-star this year. Let's get a championship with him before we start putting him there with the likes of Moses Malone.

    Moses also.

    Assuming health though, Alperen will one day join those guys.

    Love Sengun but he has a long ways to go to be considered better than Yao, Moses, Elvin, or even Ralph. He just needs more time to even approach these men.

    Notice I didn't mention Hakeem because he is in his own stratosphere of talent. Sengun is not likely to ever reach it.

    Can we get Sengun to at least 1 all star before we even start considering HOF status? I mean, longevity matters.

    That was who I initially pointed out to the ignorant poster but I was then called out that I couldn't come up with anyone else.

    Being a rational fan above anything else, I tend to agree..... he is already good where he is.

    We severely need a 2nd star guard to take the next step. Jokic needs Jamal, Sabonis needs Fox, Sengun needs his efficient scoring partner too

    20 FGAs plus the touches he got fouled on. Lmao.
    Just remembering how all I wanted at the start of last season was for him to get 13 fgas and you had nerds replying "all he does is shoot under the basket. We can't have him shooting 13 fgs."

    Well, they said a lot of things:

    he is turnover prone: Turnovers down to 12.4% from 17.3% despite much higher usage
    He fouls a lot: per 36 fouls down to 3.6, on par with other bigs
    He can't shoot: well he does! if you let him to
    He is not a hard-worker: yeah, we are seeing what the instagram videos of others hard-working translates to.

    The list goes on forever.

    Moses Malone isn’t the only guy, but he is THE GUY if we’re talking about second greatest Rocket big
