This INCLUDES Paolo Banchero btw

i think jokic being as effincent as he is has caused people to way over rate centers in his archetype

this is why your center needs to be good defensively (unless you’re elite on offense like Jokic). you can at least count on a baseline defensively.

the Steven Adams injury is really screwing the Rockets.

Having Amen and Sengun on the same team gotta be a nasty watch.

He’s been inefficient his whole career. Was pretty funny how people gave him the “Baby Joker” moniker while Jokic has the best paint touch we’ve ever seen from a center.

Never understood the baby Jokic comparisons. He has too many flaws to be that and I think rockets fans should start to realize he might not be the guy to lead them to a title.

He’s 23. People are talking is this thread like he’s a 29 year old who’s on the downside of his career.

Alperen ŞenBüm

Because he’s a 6’6 guy with an 8 inch neck playing center lol

Source doesn’t load 🥀

Back to charmander ngl

Imposter syndrome is probably eating him alive right now.

How many centers are there in the list that must play iso against double teams to be able to score, because there is neither playmaking nor strong guard play in the team?

AND he’s out here calling women bitches on the court.

Fuck this guy.

Ime is too busy working on defensive gameplans to worry about this

Well Houston’s starting point guard is out this season so idk what people were expecting altho clearly the ankle injury affected his play

To be fair, this isn’t the full story though.

He’s also really bad on defense.

Bench him, trade him, blow it up, sell the org

Definitely shows in game. Sometimes the stats don’t match the eye test, but Sengun has looked like buns for a hot minute now.

He’s young. He’ll be fine. It’s just that by trading for KD, Houston has accelerated the timeline a little bit so he has to be better than a 23 year old.

So he’s injured. Got it

Love my man Paolo up there

It’s funny because last year in the playoffs he was hitting everything it felt like. At least in the games I watched. But in the few Rockets games I’ve seen this year he seems whiny and unengaged, maybe like ego got the better of him.

Still a good player, think he’s unfocused

Trust me, I know. I have him on my Fbb team and Ik it doesn’t necessarily translate to game success but it feels like the only thing holding him back from being another level by the stats and when I watch him. Which you think is obvious and happens but some of it is shot selection

Shaedon Sharpe you king

Womp womp

If he were an inch or 2 taller and 40lbs heavier he’d be The Joker. But he’s not. He’s a legit #3 on a championship team. The situation with the Rockets is such that he needs to do too much.

55 for a center is rough

The fat swinging elbow swinging simulator sucks at shooting? Wow who would’ve guessed

Sengun is very inefficient but I think the long era of utility bigs and then Jokic bringing back inside-out while doing it with historic efficiency has broken people’s brains around what level of efficiency you can expect from unassisted post scoring.

Hakeem Olajuwon is considered one of if not the most athletic and skilled post-scorers of all time and he hovered around 51 FG% most of his career. A lot of low or high post creators like Z-Bo, Blake Griffin, Boogie, Al Jefferson were firmly in the 45-50% range.

Sengun needs to up his efficiency but the idea that he is expected to shoot 55%+ from the field because he shoots near the rim is not accurate to his role on the court.

Oh shit, oh shit, here it comes!!! The TURN on the emerging star!

57 TS% before the injury isn’t very impressive either for a big

They tried to tell me this guy is better than KD lol

honestly, Sengun just hasn’t lived up to the “baby Joker” hype at all. Rockets are definitely feeling it without Adams, and his efficiency tanking post-injury is rough. gotta wonder if they roll with him long term or just blow it up for a real rim protector.

He a hoe

The idea is Sengun has always been much better then the player

if his elbow to someone’s head doesn’t open up a shot opportunity he just misses the bucket.

just here to see the excuses for why everyone else on the list is fine but paolo should be in the g league

So?

Where does he rank in turnovers and offensive rebounds tho

I’d argue he’s probably more efficient than the ts% says

Whilst 55% certainly isn’t good for a bit, it’s not a atrocious as people seem to think it is here… Michael Jordan averaged 56% ts in 92-93 for instance

Most overrated player since Sabonis
