Sengun is a spazz that can’t shoot outside of 10-feet by comparison. Him having a bunch of awesome defenders to cover up his deficiencies there also helps his perception a ton. Maybe he becomes a better shooter eventually, but I can’t understand how anyone watches him play and says “Yeah, that’s a guy I wanna build my team around”.
He’s only one of six prime assets I’d like back from Houston in a Giannis trade. The goal is to build a 50-win team and then figure it out from there. In my opinion the single best non-Flagg return we can get is from Houston if we can pull 22 year old Sengun and 22-year old Amen from them.
What makes him different from Sabonis is that he’s a little bit bigger and has a quick burst to the hoop. He had a few dunks last night that Sabonis doesn’t necessarily make. As for Greg Monroe, they aren’t remotely close.
Yes, he's "one of" the assets that you'd want back from Houston because we'd still need good players that can put up numbers without our own picks coming back. But I'd much rather they up the picks/prospects package for us taking on FVV's $44 million team option (give me Eason and an extra first). For the record I did say "rich man's" Greg, and I feel that you're selling young Monroe short here. Sengun the clearly better athlete but Greg was an incredibly good/underutilized passer and both guys have/had elite footwork.
