who is theoretically low IQ on this roster and has a guaranteed contract? Tari is an RFA. Jabari? He seemed to kind of gain an awareness throughout the season where his mistakes disappeared. I am not convinced he just needed reps and a controlled environment. I would say out of all the of the draft picks from the tank, Jabari has improved the most, even if he's still flawed. Amen, Reed, Sengun and KD are all incredibly high iq players. The problem is they all have insane flaws. The NBA is moving towards guys who can switch defensively and can initiate their own offense. KD/ Amen can both switch defensively and initiate their own offense. KD is 38, Amen cannot shoot and his handle has not improved. I do not know what the fix is here. If I were to pick 1player on this roster to keep long term it would be Amen because his defense and IQ should age well. He also truly seems to care. The chasm between the Rockets and Thunder is insanely wide. I think the Thunder may be the best team in the modern era and they have a ton of room to improve, a top 5 coach and the best FO in basketball.
that tweet is why SOFs get laughed at 24/7 literally one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen posted I won’t even get into the fact that Wemby has had to leave 2 separate playoff games barely 10 minutes in due to concussion and ejection which is heavily weighing down his overall numbers
Yeah. That was such a bogus poll and post. Not at all, statistically relevant. Sengun had a bad year and his poor defense was exposed, but he is not the scrub a lot our posters are proclaiming. I think the disappointment of the season after all the hype of the Durant signing has made the fan base more cynical about our players than probably justified. They are all still very young.
You can't flop on every shot hoping for a call and call that "being young." I can't go through another year of him flopping and being soft on offense...not even going to mention his defense. Also, can't go through another year of Reed missing wide open shots when he supposedly be a "great shooter" and being hunted on the defensive end. We know which of the young guys we can rely on during the playoffs, Amen and Jabari...THAT'S IT. I don't have any problems shipping out anyone else on our team this off-season.
Don’t get me wrong, I think Sengun showed a lot of weaknesses in his game. He’s far from the only flopping/constant complaining player in the league (ie Doncic, Lebron, SGA, Smart, Reeves), he’s just not any good at it. Instead of complaining so much, he should take some flopping lessons or move to the West coast where he will get the calls, anyway.
It’s dumb because one made it to the second round and the other almost got swept. But it’s retooted to claim that twig’s numbers would have been better if he didn’t concuss himself and thought he was still at shaolin.
that was just Giannis quiet quitting and doing passive-aggressive BS because he wants out, and the team did nothing because deep down they wanted him to stay
Jesus lol. First he was the next Joker now it's BUT LOOK he puts up the same numbers as Wemby lol. The Sengun OFs are diabolical. Very similar to the JLin OF crowd.
We should trade Sengun to San Antonio for Wenbanyama and like a draft pick. How could they possibly say no considering this data?
Still think the JOFs are/were worse. But *no one* gets close to the Linbreds. If COVID was a fanbase.
Lol glad Myles came out and told everyone the truth about Giannis. The guy is not a leader, he is worse than KD in that respect, hes got no real friends in the league and most players do not like him as a teammate. Making guys wait 2-2.5 hours for you to show up is ridiculous, especially when you have private jet money and the guys at the end of the bench do not.
