11sanchez11 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Bucks are having a run of quotes this last couple of days. Lillard didn't put Giannis in his top 5 NBA players, Giannis said he didn't watch basketball and likes going into games not knowing what the other team is doing, Doc said he didn't understand why the Bucks fired their coach and hired him lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is going super well!!! Dame and Giannis are ball dominant and have yet to figure out how to play off each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingram Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I once again am here to ask where all this Sengun hype comes from. Maybe I’m biased because Jonas mops the floor with him consistently but this dude is mid. Terrible defensive player, no bag, okay passer. I don’t get the hype.

redsoxsuck05 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 OKC has one of the best benches I've seen in a long time. Isaiah Joe, Kenrich Williams, and Cason Wallace are all really good. Latter might be following the Tyrese Maxey path btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a 21 year old who plays like Jokic and puts up incredible stats for his age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn’t play anything like Jokic. This is my problem with his hype lol. He’s not nearly the passer or scorer that Jokic is. People saw a Euro big who could pass a little and anointed him the next Jokic. He’s the best player on a pretty bad team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compare Jokic's stats as a 21 year old compared to Sengun's this season. Not saying he will be Jokic is his prime but Sengun is legit good. Plus you arent factoring in that this is his first year with actual coaching. People underrate Udoka's hire of Tiago Splitter. It's doing wonders for Sengun this season.

Troy Brown Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I feel like Sengun is much closer to a baby Sabonis than Jokic but he's clearly not done developing 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mentioned that a few pages back. Is he going to be elite? No, but he will be serviceable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People need to stop comparing him to Jokic. Jokic has generational vision/passing ability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at the rating the Rockets have on defense when he is on the floor. Back in Dec he had the 6th ranked defensive rating in the league behind Gobert, Towns, AD, Chet and Embiid. That's how I know you only see him when the Rockets play your Pelicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
