    Exactly, Jokic is one of one.

    I don’t think it’s going to be interesting just long and more infuriating 2 years.

    The numbers are not the same. Jokic was already a 3 level scorer by his point. I believe he was around 35% from 3.


    You’re right when you say Sengun could be an all star, but I think it’s pretty unlikely. Sengun gives me more Pau Gasol Memphis and Toronto Bosh vibes. Very talented but better in a supporting star role.

    Rockets will get embarrassed in the 1st round and then we’ll be told to buckle up for the return of the messiah FVV

    then we’ll hear the typical BS about how we’re a young team with a lot of good young players and we don’t want to rush the process along with excuses about how injuries were the actual issue

    Stone wrote up his flameout speech in the preseason.

    No Im not lazy I checked youre wrong. Just admit you are you grown ass man baby. Joker didnt become above average at 3 until he was 25.

    Jokic shot almost 40% from 3 in his third year.

    Ad hominem attacks are a sign of defeat by the way.

    I’m not saying Sengun won’t be a superstar because he’s not Joker. I’m saying that it’s unlikely he’ll get there with his current outside shooting struggles. It puts on cap in his strengths.

    That being said, I think he’ll still be around a top 20-25ish player most nights. Why does that sound like an insult to you?

    I think in regards to roster moves people are making FAR too much of this KD stuff.

    Let's assume it is all true. The account is true, likely, lets say he really did say this stuff about Jabari and Sengun....ok?

    This is a short term deal, unless KD demands a trade, the Rockets have to get something from trading him to make any trade. All that will happen is apologies behind the scene and everyone will move on. Players have been mean to each other before. Draymond bullies teammates. Jordan did too, Kobe would openly trash his teammates.

    Honestly if KD saying this stuff really ruins the confidence of Bari and Sengun and Reed (if this were true) It would say more about those players than it would about KD. Durant had a whole ad campaign about not being nice, I'm pretty sure the Rockets FO knew a lot more about this stuff before acquiring him.

    It's just like CP3, everyone knows he's a taskmaster and pesters his teammates about doing things this or that way, anyone getting CP3 should know this is what he's about, it only becomes a problem when they can't produce on the court.

    You have to be ****ing kidding me are you a 5 year old who cant admit when he's wrong? you people are ****ing children. Your whole basis for saying he would likely never be a superstar is that he cant shoot like Joker. You find out youre wrong and then pretend you never said that. You just come on here and type anything dont you? Just hoping no one would check you on your bullshit.

    Just by accolades. This is year 5 for Sengun so he's got 1 real All-star and one make-a-wish All-star to compete with 2 real all-stars, all-NBA 1st and all-NBA 2nd team for Jokic, oh and 4th and then 9th in MVP voting his 4th and 5th years(he won it the year after, in his 6th year.) So do we think Alpi's on the same career path, or do the raw counting stats not tell the whole story?

    I tend to agree

    this makes KD look like a fake person, because I doubt he’s said anything close to what’s in the group chats to the players’ faces (can’t even be sure that everything posted allegedly from him is even real to begin with)…but then again, these were private group chats that got leaked, and KD isn’t the only one on the team saying sh*t to friends/family they don’t want public

    Al P is definitely not on the same career path as Jokic and there’s nothing wrong with that.

    He’s his own player.

    I’m not. Can you please tell me how an inefficient big man who cannot shot and is a bad defender is a franchise player?

    I don't know a player on the roster who is nothing but an inefficient big and a bad defender. Can you give me a fuller picture of this guy's strengths and weaknesses so we can identify him and make an assessment?

    Sengun is averaging 55 TS, and has been for all 4 years in his career. His defense is borderline pathetic. He gets picked in PNR scenarios, even IME called him out for it.

    Oh I don't know a person called Sengun who does nothing well worth mentioning and does all those sucky things. Never heard of him. Sorry I guess we can't talk about it.
