What does Sengun have to do to get some attention around here?

[j3lademaster]

Dude put up 45/16 on Wemby last night and no love?

[L.Kizzle]

Wemby is a rookie ... but Sengun is Houston's best player.

[tontoz]

21/9/5 on decent efficiency on a bad team just isn't that noteworthy.

Thats it?

[Carbine]

Sengun is one of my favorite players to watch play. I think he's one of the best under 22 players in the league. When Houston becomes better, he will get his due.

It is when you're not supposed to be the teams best player.

Most people on here wouldn't know who their best player is "supposed to be".

They’re better than expected and that’s almost entirely due to him. He’s 21 and already plays very intelligently and is an excellent defender.

He definitely should be spoken about more.

He does get threads occasionally but he wasnt well known coming into the league and Houston isnt good right now, so naturally theres just fewer people paying attention to him.

The vegas prediction was for 31.5 wins this season. They should beat that but it won't be that big of a deal. they have 27 now so maybe they win 35. Yawn

Last season Vegas predicted OKC to win 26 and they won 40. That is blowing away expectations.

And yet you made a whole 5 paragraph thread on Deni Avdija :facepalm

[Carbine]

This will piss off all the Chet lovers here who compare him to KD and KG but Sengun is younger than Chet and I would take him over Chet. If Sengun improves his 3 point shooting watch out. He's so skilled in other areas that you have to think he will improve that at some point

[tontoz]

And yet you made a whole 5 paragraph thread on Deni Avdija :facepalm


Look at the thread title. Do you see me saying "why doesn't Deni get more attention"? Of course not.

I don't expect any of you to know what Deni has been doing which is why i made the thread. Big difference.

He shoots 71% from the foul line so its iffy whether he will become effective from 3.

[Xiao Yao You]

he's a beast

[Axe]

Wemby's already a threat nowadays? Too soon if true but i doubt it lol.

[Rocket]

Sengun will be in MVP discussions by the time he is 25.

Is he really younger than Chet? I didnt know that tbh. But yeah, he is pretty damn good for his age if thats the case.

[Akeem34TheDream]

He's aight

Pretty damn good for someone who no one knew 1 year ago and has never gotten any attention

[tontoz]

There were several fans on a wizards board that wanted to draft him. He is a good player but he isn't going to get much attention unless he wins or puts up bigger numbers.

The only time I watch Houston is if they are playing a team I like, and even then it isn't very often. I would guess it is the same story for most here.

His efficiency is just ok for a center.

[SaltyMeatballs]

Baby Jokic deserves the praise. Man is a stone cold killer on the court

[j3lademaster]

He does get threads occasionally but he wasnt well known coming into the league and Houston isnt good right now, so naturally theres just fewer people paying attention to him.
I don’t expect him to be talked about like Giannis or Jokic, but I was very surprised to not see a thread on his performance last night especially since everyone’s tuning into Wemby’s games.

[j3lademaster]

Wemby's already a threat nowadays? Too soon if true but i doubt it lol.Already leading the league in blocks with an insane 3.4 and is one of the most disruptive defenders in the league.

[SATAN]

Dominating the Clippers rn :applause:

[SATAN]

Speak for yourself. It was obvious he had potential from the get go.

[ralph_i_el]

I've been a Sengooner since day 1 :lol

[BarberSchool]

US Media is likely hesitant to give him too much shine/props/airtime, cause he’s a young Muslim, from a nation which is currently at odds with Israel in the Levantine. Not an “harmless” “Muslim” like Sekou Doumbouya, from a nation which never threatened or critiqued Israel, or had the economy or military to do anything anyways. And I say this as someone with Turkish ancestry, who notices very distinct patterns lbs.

[NBAGOAT]

make an all star game next year and be in the playin. Interested to see who rockets trade for during offseason. I think their starting lineup is set outside of jalen green

[dankok8]

Sengun reminds of a young Jokic a little bit..

[iamgine]

Sengun currently is the 6th best center after Embiid, Jokic, AD, Sabonis, and Wemby

[Manny98]

Nobody is threatened by that 13-49 statpadder :roll:

[iamgine]

True though

[Im Still Ballin]

He's on track. Just needs to get better teammates, keep hitting the weight room like Jokic did, and continue to develop his outside shot. He'll never be the shooter Jokic is from certain areas on the court but he's shown some good range out to 16 feet. His potential could be something of a poor man's Jokic on offense but with more upside on defense.

Sengun at 21:

- 32.4 minutes per game
- 21.3 ppg, 9.3 rpg, 4.8 apg, 1.2 spg, 0.8 bpg
- 53.9% FG, 29.7% 3PT, 55.6% eFG, 70.7% FT, 59.0% TS (102 TS+)

Jokic at 21:

- 27.9 minutes per game
- 16.7 ppg, 9.8 rpg, 4.9 apg, 0.8 spg, 0.8 bpg
- 57.8% FG, 32.4% 3PT, 60.5% eFG, 82.5% FT, 64.0% TS (116 TS+)

Sabonis at 21:

- 24.5 minutes per game
- 11.6 ppg, 7.7 rpg, 2.0 apg, 0.5 spg, 0.4 bpg
- 51.4% FG, 35.1% 3PT, 52.4% eFG, 75.0% FT, 56.7% TS (102 TS+)

[Manny98]

True though

Spurs would be on at least 30 wins right now if they had Sengun instead of Emptyyama

Dude has the upper body strength of a 12 year old boy, Sengun was bullying him all night :roll:

Yes we know players have good and bad games.

For example, Sengun didn't do too well against Nurkic.

[Xiao Yao You]

Sengun currently is the 6th best center after Embiid, Jokic, AD, Sabonis, and Wemby

Yet Gobert is on a better team and actually on the floor :facepalm

Gobert is on god-tier level. He obviously cannot be ranked among mere mortals like Jokic or Embiid.

Based on what? That Spurs team is atrocious and they're built that way on purpose so they wouldn't be able to win games. Sengun has a 0.7 Net Rating on his own team but you're acting like he's the 2nd coming of Jokic impact-wise.

[Xiao Yao You]

he can certainly be ranked amongst guys that don't play or whose teams suck

[Carbine]

Spurs being a 30 win team right now with Sengun over Wemby takes the cake for most ridiculous post of 2024 so far.

Vassell and Keldon are ballers

Spurs should be doing way better if Wemby is as good as some of you make him out two be

Keldon, Vassell, Tre Jones at the 1, Sochan with Sengun down low?

That's a borderline play in team

[ArbitraryWater]

Manny youre acting like a retard again.

Same behaviour as when you went against Mahomes, that should tell everyone Wemby is better.

I'm not denying he has potential, but until he actually wins basketball games he doesn't belong in any top player conversations

[FultzNationRISE]

I dont think many people are saying he’s a stud right now on offense. I think the hype is more about the fact hes showing progress while still having a crazy ceiling due to his physical uniqueness. He looks like hes on track to become a force, but obviously hes still got a way to go.

[Xiao Yao You]

Spurs have no real vets with winning experience aside from Cedi, Collins and McDermott. Rockets have a bunch of them, and FVV is still a good starter-level PG. Wemby doesn't have a real PG (no disrespect to Tre Jones but he's a bench warmer at best) and they tried to make Sochan a PG for half the season and played Wemby out of position the first 20 or whatever games as well. That's not a team that's trying to win games.

Sengun is on track to miss the POs for the 3rd year in a row after two 20-win seasons prior to this one. If this was Wemby in his 3rd year after all that hype and he had vets around him I'd be criticizing him too.

[Carbine]

Unless you watch the Spurs consistently (nobody here does in this thread) you don't understand how poorly coached they were for the first 20 games and how bad the entire roster is around Wemby.

It's legit the worst defense I've ever seen when Wemby isn't out there and the decisions they make on offense make you want to pull hair out of your skull.

Nobody in the league could turn this group into a playoff team. Jokic would make them a much better offense but the defense would be so bad still that you would lose a lot of games.

The defense is horrible and they got some of the worst volume 3-Point shooters around him lol. I don't think even Jokic could do anything with that team. Not enough vets on that squad and there's no depth. I haven't watched every game but I've seen my fair share throughout the season. It's a comedy of errors.

[SATAN]

Yeah ok only you do. You know more about the Spurs than everyone else. Happy now?

lol no

He’s acting like Spurs weren’t the #7 most popular team on league pass going into the season, and only became exponentially more popular since.

[rawimpact]

he has to be black

white players dont get the recognition.

Affirmative action needed
