    Good thing is we know that any negative sentiment internally towards sengun would result in an article by certain someone. No article, all is good.

    Sometimes lobs is just something you have to defend on your own. It's a it tricky with Sengun because he doesnt have the length, nor does he jump very high without a run way. A couple of times Sengun was able to contest lobs, but Claxton still just caught the ball higher than Sengun can reach and dunked it. If Sengun had 1-2 more inches of height or wingspan those plays would have never happened.

    But you are right, part of it is having guards who have length and can recover fast enough to bother the guard before he can make a layup or lob

    In addition to coaching and growing up as a player and a person, I think Cam’s emergence did push Jalen to lock in and show up. I hope Jalen’s will push Alperen to do the same. Rinse and repeat and we have bunch of superstars in 2 years time.

    I wish they find their way to elevate eachother effortlessly and instinctively during the process rather than try and “one up the competition” all the way. Otherwise, I am afraid their most comfortable selves on the court would not fit eachother seamlessly. In that case, we will have a problem.

    They spazzes really picked K*T over Fox, Sabonis, Sengun or Markkanen haha. NBA really needs more European coaches. All these clowns do is bending over for stars and clapping their teams on the sideline.

    Agreed, Kat is not even the 2nd most important player of the team.
    That being said I think Sabonis or Fox might be even more deserving than Alpi.

    I’ll be disappointed in Alperen If he does a “Silas sit out” for an “illness” today. I thought we were over this kid stuff. You owe us some get back after playing like a weenie against the Pelicans.

    You’re more man than me. I turn into a super b**** when I get sick. Much less trying to play an nba game.

    That’s why you aren’t a franchise player! ;)

    Seriously though, Alperen got “sick” a bunch of times for Silas. I hope he isn’t just sick of Udoka up in that ass…

    True. If i were 6'11" tall and was able to make millions I would be capable of more perhaps.
