Sengun needs to get his head in the game.

Or negotiate for a longer contract with a lower per annum. They need him.

They had the #2, 7, and 14 picks. They could have easily flipped those picks for a Butler-level player years ago. Instead they drafted three straight busts. The worst part is, impact players were drafted immediately after the Warriors picked in all three spots (LaMelo, Franz, and Sengun). Drafting even one of those guys would have extended their title window.


Yeah Warriors' drafting has been ABYSMAL since West left their organization.

I'll never be a fan of Jalen Green. He's got that Arenas, JR Smith, Iverson chucking no matter what mentality which makes my blood boil.

Dillon Brooks has by far the best fundamentals and basketball IQ of any Rockets perimeter player. Wild thing to say but its true. The rest of them are all raw talent and athleticism.

Even Sengun really has no idea what he's doing out there, he's just really good. Really interesting team to watch. I'm always wondering what dumb thing they'll do next and then what spectacular thing they'll do next.

It is. That's why they're milking it as long as they can.

I'm guessing Butler is not playing tonight? I know he was GTD when I checked a few hours ago.
