    I don’t think there’s anything wrong with this opinion.
    I don’t necessarily agree with it but I can understand it.

    I can see where you're coming from. While Sengun does have some physical limitations, I think they are a bit overblown. He has other physical attributes that are actually quite special. Anyway, he is a 3pt shot away from being a #1 option on a contending team.

    A lot of people compare Sengun to Jokic. I think he is more similar to Sabonis than to Jokic. Obviously Sabonis is not on Jokic's level. But Sengun, IMO has higher ceiling than Sabonis because of his low post scoring ability and a slightly bigger size. Sabonis is not a good 3pt shooter and he is already in his prime. If Sengun develops a 3pt shot, he will be a top 10 offensive player, maybe top 5.

    Sabonis is a great rebounder and an above average passer, especially for a C. Sabonis is very good not because of his offensive but bc of his versatility. A league leader in trouble doubles that most people wouldn't think of

    And I'll forever call you a fake ass fan. Supporting opponents because you like a player? Might as well go buy the jersey.

    This front office has been low on Sengun since year 1, judging by how Silas treated him and how we tried to sign Lopez to start over him the past summer.

    I would not be that surprised if Stone trades Sengun if he finds a good deal.

    Personally I think he should be here to stay but his defense is concerning. He's fallen off the cliff on that end as of late and his touch around the rim has also seem to regressed. Also he has yet to show he can hit jumpers consistently which we desperately need him to do on this horrible shooting team.

    That said tho, I think he's developing at a good rate unlike a certain teammate of his.

    The Rockets desperately need to add Point Guard Assistant Coaches. The Playmaking, Dribbling, Shooting and Lateral Defense has been terrible this Season.

    Fred VanVleet has been terrible since returning from his injury.

    Fred had the worst Minus last game.

    Yes, I think Sengun has the same kind of versatility with better scoring capability. If Sengun never develops an outside shot, he will be at about the same level as Sabonis.
