Jalen Green on fire right now. When the shot is falling its fun.

Jalen Green will be fun while sengun would be consistent early in their careers. They are what NBA had hoped with Murray and Jokic..

Wagner just had an absolute monster quarter against NOP.

This draft class is looking better and better.

All 3pt shooters aren't the same. Some only shoot wide-open set shots at a low volume and Suggs has been taking 3 pt shots that he creates at a high volume.

We've also seen Suggs blow 2-3 layups per game because he's rushing. He only shoots 540 at the rim.

Suggs is definitely looking a little more like Stuckey than Chauncey.. lol jk

I think his shot starts dropping and everything else opens up for him and confidence goes up. Defense is as advertised. Just a matter of time. He was never a sensational playmaker in college, but he can draw a double and make the open pass.

His BBIQ is just great. Had a poor 1st half and made adjustments going into the 3rd. Love the kid.

Is there a reason why Sengun doesn’t get more minutes ? Does he foul a lot or something ?

He does but it's mostly because C Wood is guaranteed a ton of minutes no matter how he plays. Hoping he gets moved at the deadline

It's criminal how he doesn't get 30+ mins on a consistent basis.

Shoutout to Kispert. Had his best game so far. I think this was his first start

20 points, 2 rebounds, 3 assists, 6/7 FG (4/5 from 3)

Well most of them play on teams whose fans have little else to be excited about.

Being excited is one thing. Choosing to respond, going back and forth tearing other prospects down is just weird to me. I'm loving this class so far, and the more great players the more legendary it'll be in hindsight.

Nice little game from Landale. Great to see Pop finally giving him some burn.

You mean the NBA hopes Green and Sengun will become the next Murray and Jokic right? Those two have a long way to meet those expectations.

KillMonger · Post #315 » by **KillMonger** » Fri Dec 24, 2021 7:55 am

definitely have some future stars in this class

Love seeing that you can check this thread every day and there are multiple rookies having great nights each night.

Yeah that's kinda of a funny delusion. Jokic has already won an MVP and carried a team to conference finals. And this guys claiming 2 rookies who have done absolutely nothing will be better for the league

Do people really watch houston games or just look at his box stats, he is a 2 edge sword, the reason houston collpased is that Sengun cant rebound against brisett and turner(although they are the better bigs we have in the league).. he will be a favorite matchup against athletic nba wings because they can easily attack his defense. But the other edge of the sword he is good..

Just talking about potential...Jokic is the ultimate ceiling for Sengun while Jalen potential could be the Bubble version of Murray

I wouldn't compare anyone to Jokic. Sengun is also undersized. Green has the potential to be better than Murray. The question is if he has the smarts.

Which three rookies impress you the most? (vote for up to 3)
