    Sengun did not have a great game.

    It was ok, definitely not his best and not terrible overall but 100% not great by any means.

    The eventual starters will be Amen/Jalen or Whitmore/Tari/Jabari/Sengun

    That team looks tall, athletic and has shooting ability. They probably look like kids because they are, only 21 yrs old and younger.

    This season is more of a dress rehearsal than anything else, everything is new and the Rox are pretty young and first season under a non tanking coach. Stone hit on his 3 major FAs but missed out on the depth signings, having a playable backup C and SG should help this team out immensely.

    The dress rehearsal is fine but if you come close to the Play In ....you still make the necessary arrangements to go beyond it IMHO....

    You are a professional team and not some recreational amateurish group of wannabes.

    That is standard procedure.

    Stone gambles way too much on bench players, just sign someone like Bruce Brown, dude is good to solid.

    You realize Bruce Brown cost as much as Dillon Brooks right?

    The Rox aren't doing anything right now, we have a bunch of 21 yr Olds. Making the play in is nice and all but I'd rather get more value long term which is what this move is. Adams is only 29 and can be the career backup of Sengun for the next 5 yrs.
