    Honestly, the main thing is, Bari needs to be benched/traded, almost all his minutes should go to Tari/Amen.

    Bari drags down our best player, Alpi, whereas Alpi, Tari, Amen complement each other perfectly.

    Ime is molding Alpi into a two-way superstar.

    Jokic with better defense and slightly worse shooting, that's his ceiling.

    Coming back to this, and looking at last season as well, because this season, it's a pretty small sample size.

    He has had 18 blocks and has been blocked 18 times.

    Players who got blocked more or the same number of times per game?

    Zion
    Cade Cunningham
    Cam Thomas
    Franz Wagner
    Jalen Johnson
    Kelly Oubre

    The difference? None of them blocks nearly as many as he does (Cam Johnson has 0 blocks).

    Going back to last season, this is the list of players who got blocked more often per game than Alpi:

    So yeah, I don't think it's a big issue, in the context of his overall contribution. There are two former MVPs in that list who got blocked more per game than he did.

    The Kobe and Messi ones were very likely the most creative ones.
