@@okolk6450 Yep. Having multiple picks in one round seems better than over years and years. The warriors tried so hard to dump those picks knowing they were giving Curry another deal. You can’t develop players and compete at the same time.
@@darkphoton_15keV That's a good comp. I know alot of people are saying he's like Jokic which I see that to but the gasol comp is dead on. He has damn good skills and basketball I.Q. If he develops a consistent mid range shot he's going to be problems for anybody. He definitely has a bright future.
Christian wood was there for everybody they have no more games they have to rely on everybody else and so their talent evaluation is just on is just on another level
sengun is a lowkey better defender than people made him out to be . . . like I was not expecting him to have 8 blocks over 2 games at all (albeit it is summer league)
For real. People made him out to be unplayable on defense. His understanding of vertically is great, and he doesn't care that sometimes it makes it look like the offense went straight through him. And his timing and defense IQ along with willingness to take contact. He's gonna be at least OK on that end
Yeah and no one is talking about KJ Martin either. To be honest I'm more excited about Green, Alphren and KJ but Christopher is nice too. What's impressed me about Christopher is that he hasn't been shooting well but is still finding ways to be a plus. KJ though man... This dude is a rare athlete and if he keeps shooting like this he has a bright future ahead of him
What I like about Sengun is that initially I thought that he didn't have much athleticism but he makes up for it with his incredibly strong situational awareness and basketball IQ similar to Luka.
It’s because they’ve both played professional ball already. They understand the game more than other young players since they have been playing against grown men in Europe.
As a Pistons fan I gotta say I’m mad jealous of your draft haul this year. Sengun and Christopher gonna be ballers. Green obviously gonna be a star as well. May be one of the best drafts I’ve ever seen if they all hit their peaks
When alpe was on the floor we went up 17.. the second they took him out they cut it to 6.. put him back in went back up by 20... the kid literally contributes in every single way possible. He’s going to be an analytic dream. He does it all. Rips the ball.. stays vertical.. elite post player.. dribble drive.. screens.. blocks shots. Phenomenal motor.. very good on the O glass.. positioning & IQ OFF THE CHARTS. All while only being 19. This kid is gonna be a superstar.
This guys good he’s gonna have a spot in the league for years to come.he’s a mix of a traditional big with his post game and rim protection and a modern big with his ability to stretch the floor with his 3 and put it on the floor with his slight ball handling.he got room for improvement but he’s gonna progress over time.
every time he steps on the floor he makes an impact, he doesn’t shy away from driving especially for being a center and he’s amazing at it, it’s just baffling how okc traded him, especially for being an mvp of a very physical league
Houston did really well this draft, Jalen Green , Sengun , Usman Garuba, Josh Christopher I really like there young nucleus and fit well together , Kevin Porter Jr and Christian Wood u got 6 young guys u can start to build around ..
Green, KPJ, Wall, Wood, Sengun. Garuba, EG, House, Tate, and Christopher off the bench. Martin somewhere in there as well. Yeah, some people want Wall to be on the bench, but no chance of that happening. Rockets want him to get time, play well, and eventually be traded, and having a 5x all-star setting an example for younger guys would be huge. When EG and House inevitably get shipped out to contenders, the development will really begin.
Having him and the Christian Woods on the floor at the same time could be the modern twin towers. Have 1 big who can play on the perimeter and another who can bang down low. Very interesting
@@meeprslol6051 nah Mobley dumpster fire. Never draft someone who has tendency go invisible for a team. There other ways to impact your team besides scoring. Funny he couldn’t do that. Yea it’s just one game but this isn’t the first time this happen. So him doing this again but in the summer league against nba players is kinda concerning
Rockets got a top 5 talent in Sengun easily there’s not 5 players in this draft better than Sengun right now I could argue he’s the best overall prospect in the entire draft 🤷🏾♂️ this will go down in history as the Ultimate fleece by Houston 🤦🏾♂️ fleeced em for Harden now we fleeced em for Sengun lol
Dude was Turkish league MVP at a young age. People gotta start noticing. Idk how people don’t see this coming. Same as Luka MVP of the euro league at the age of 18 I believe. I get they not playing vs NBA players but they playing pros nonetheless. This is no surprise
Sengun is a beast! What people dont know is he can light it up from 3, he just needs to shoot it more. If this guy had a little more juice in his legs he would be unstoppable, seems a little flat footed at times.
It's even more impressive when you figured that he's doing the same thing in real NBA games. Don't let his stats fool you, they're low only because Coach Silas is refusing to give him more minutes even though he's a plus on both ends of the floor
Im starting to see why Houston gave up 2 picks for this dude. He plays like he has no culture shock, language barrier or inexperience playing a different style of ball
Wrong, we practically gave up nothing for this guy. The 2 picks you are referring to were extremely protected against top 14 and top 16. Which practically means those picks won't be coming to OKC, instead they will get 2 second round picks. LOL, OKC got fleeced!!!
Houston might have two future allstars on their hands, in Sengun and Green. They might end up being the top 2 players from the draft in the years ahead.
Lol. I I know, right? The Spurs have clearly lost their touch. Begun is exactly the type of guy they would have taken in years past. Nonetheless, is Rockets fans are elated. This kid has all star potential without question
@@losdawg6265 yup rockets front office really did an amazing job rebounding from losing Harden… makes me wish we did the same thing with kawhi, instead of keeping Demar.
@jr goxy nah he actually good. He beat cash and cash hand checks and fouls a lot. He may not be playing college comp a whole lot but it doesnt mean he cant compete
@jr goxy i play ball and he would beat me. U dont gotta be in the drew league to be considered good. If u know who marcelas howard is, he’s a great example
Shout out to OKC for trading us the pick for Sengun, lol. He's got game.
For essentially nothing. Sam Presti whiffed on that deal. I still don’t understand the logic for taking on those picks they both suck
Sam Presti really screwed this draft up

4 blocks last game 4 blocks this game, he def a solid defender
@@mobob7989 his help defense is really good his on ball currently is average but he can definitely improve on that being only 19
Those fake internet scouts 😂 He was defending guards pretty well in Turkey. Those people were just too lazy to see that
He’s so good everyone be talking about Christopher with JG but this guy is the real deal with JG
In this game Sengun did better then both JG and Cade. In the game before it, he beat Mobley consistently for rebounds and points.
We talking about AL P too bro
@@skdnazum4191 I'm diggin Al P. Haven't seen anyone call him that yet ha

Coming in it was about Green vs Cade, but dude here stole the show a lil bit he was ballin 🔥
this dude is without a doubt the steal of the draft, amazed he dropped out the top 10
this man might not know english well but he’s very fluent in his game
As a Pistons fan I gotta say I’m mad jealous of your draft haul this year. Sengun and Christopher gonna be ballers. Green obviously gonna be a star as well. May be one of the best drafts I’ve ever seen if they all hit their peaks

nice doing business witcha
you guys having giving us the best trades in history besides the westbrook one

can't see a korean player do well in the NBA ever so I really hope sengun works out.
One day hopefully we will
Sengun was a steal for sure 🚀
I agree. 💯 Glad he's a 🚀😁
You know that crazy thing about this guy is the fact that he doesn’t know/speak a lick of English I’m so confused how he communicates on the floor
basketball has no language. hoopers hoop!
Basketball is really a game of common sense
Real hoopers have a feel for the game, they just know. Now defensively it can be a problem at times but he knows enough english to get by.
Yao Ming had no issues he didn’t kno a lick of English either upon arrival but he did understand it
@@Dame77090 that’s Yao Ming tho lmao He doesn’t even need how to dribble and I’m sure he would’ve been just fine

From the LOGO!!! Another unicorn enters the league. Bro we have to start drafting more ppl from
Oversees these young proffered are different breed bro
He’s really good and has great potential and upside. Great way to turn James Harden into some talented young players

I'll take over for you Bill Worrell.... you heard it here first....im calling Sengun "the Turkish Delight"
nice
Brilliant move to make this pick at number 16
MVP.
We got the best bigman in the draft 🤘🏽🚀
That 3 gave me chills if he can shoot 38% from deep he's a star for sure
Superstar
this kid is gonna be special. mark my words!
Sengun's IQ and court awareness is excellent. I think he's gonna learn really quickly. GREAT draft by the Rockets!
Wow. This kid is gonna be good
#16 pick. What a trade up rockets. Or should i say swooped in for the Steal
The Rockets should be using him like the Nuggets use Jokic. This man does everything, has superstar potential right off the bat.
He’s better than Cade imo
and Mobley
100%
This is a future all star

In five years the rockets gonna be like Kobe teamed up with Tim Duncan
Facts lol
Rockets hit a homer on each first round pick
Only a matter of time till he takes theis job in the starting 5
Steal of the 2021 draft!!! 😎 going to be a problem in a couple of years!!! It's his shot blocking that got me pump!! Two games 8 blocks!!!
Logo Shengun 🎯
Technician on both ends of the floor... Tim Duncan-esque
Mfers on twitter hating on him bad smh lmao
@1:10 wtf????
The guy the Spurs should had drafted. Great job B. Wright our GM! 🤬
Sengun was cooking Garza 🤣
He might become the goat
Clint, i suddenly miss you a little less..
If him and green stick on the same team rockets gonna be a problem in a few years.
Should been top 10 pick easily
His skillset reminds me of Luis Scola a little bit.
Remind me of a young Paul Gasol
I hope Hakeem will work with him. He got alot of promise
Sengun looks like what everyone wanted Porzingis to be
Jokic-lite? Wait til y'all see his passing skills.
He should start next to Woods
He seems so fluid and awkward at the same time
If Jokic, z-bo, and sabonis had a baby
Baby Duncan=Sengun Baby Klay=Christopher Baby Jordan= Jalen Green. Rockets got a Maga Owner? But a good young team!
