    Sengun standing 3pt line has 0 threat.

    I don’t care if Durant has a career ending injury next game, he has to play.

    Guards can't stay in front of anyone and Sengun is getting stuck in no man's land.

    Excellent defensive scheme by the defensive genius

    Reed and Sengun both need to learn how to play pick and roll defense.

    If Yao can blitz the pnr, why Sengun playing drop like he's a shot blocker?

    Maybe the perimeter should try to stop penetration, allowing the big man to defend his man instead of having to guard both the ballhandler and his big man counterpart?

    Novel idea, I know.

    Reed and Sengun on the court together is just death at the point of attack.
