    There's room for some nuance in this I think. He's shooting 66% on shots within 5 feet of the basket, which is fine and comparable to a typical NBA starter. For comparison, Steven was shooting 56% on those shots, and Clint is shooting 60%. A really elite player like Giannis is shooting 77% on shots within 5 feet.

    Anyway, those shots comprise almost half (7) of all of Sengun's 2P attempts. What's dragging down his percentages are the 4ish shots he's taking between 5-9ft out, right at 40%, and all of those midrange "flamingo" shots, which are sub-40% this season.

    He’s definitely been settling for more difficult shots. It’s shows an overall lack of effort which also reflects in his inconsistent rebounding lately. No reason 17 players should be outrebounding him in the last game and you can’t point to fatigue coming off a long break.

    Sengun at this point, with no shot to speak of, is basically a flailer/raise his palms to the sky guy trying to drive inside. He really hasn’t developed much if at all in the last 2 years. One summer of videos of him hitting shots against air won’t give me confidence otherwise.

    Bullshit. You're calling out other people for being alts, you are clearly a burner account. It's hilarious, you out here b****ing about KD for doing exactly what you do yourself! No wonder you believe all the other internet weirdos and none of the actual sports journalists and players lmfao, what a lame person you are.

    Believe what you want, I’m telling you this is my only account here. All I’m getting from you spiraling like this is maybe you’re him too lol. And KD totally did it. Don’t know what you are up to here with this agenda pushing but you’re really embarrassing yourself.

    Yeah I'm definitely KD, I joined CF years before I got traded to Houston, for some inexplicable reason I talk like I'm British and only post at times that align with somebody who'd live in the UK. Then I stanned Jalen Green for years just for ***** and giggles. That's the difference between me and you, I have loads of activity of all kinds. You're a random account that's been here years, has almost no posts and yet not only talks with familiarity with lots of members, but also calls other members out as alt accounts. You are WAY more suspicious than any fake KD "DMs" are, straight up.

    The issue is he is getting the ball 25 feet from the basket and having to do all the work to create a shot. This is because we do not have a healthy point guard on the roster. We have a couple guys who can dribble- Reed Sheppard and Amen Thompson- but neither is a natural point guard who is capable at coordinating the offense.

    It's an extraordinary experiment being conducted by Rafael Stone who increasingly appears to be the most r****ded member of the organization. Jose Alvarado was acquired for two bad 2nd round picks- one of those is currently the 60th pick in the 2026 draft. It's absurd that we couldn't beat that offer. Stone has generally done a solid job building this roster but this trade deadline was a huge fail and will result in a wasted season.

    Suspicious of what? Can you think of any other explanation as to how that can be? As in, you know, everyone being able to read the content on this site without having an account? For someone who steadfastly refuses to believe something as clear as day like the KD leaks, it’s funny how easily you’ve convinced yourself that this is an alt based on literally nothing. Funny how that works. It’s not. Believe whatever you want though.

    Unfortunately I can’t see any of those details about you cause you’ve locked down your profile. I wonder if the shame brought on by years of stanning for Jalen might have something to do with it. It’d be totally understandable.
