Jabari can't play as center. He's to thin and avoid contact.
Unleashed Reed and give Sengun offensive initiative. Unstoppable!
Man I just have one thing to say…..keep up with this great work!!! Thank You!!!
PS I lied I have one more thing to say….you need more Olajuwons and less Shaqs on that wall :))))))))
Also Frank, I think people, or most people our age and older, fail to understand why the NBA went away from dominant low post BIGS in the first place. 3s or more than 2s, and if your best player takes up more of a team possessions on 2 pt shots then you are in trouble in todays game. Let say Sengun aveages 30 pts a game and for the sake of argument lets say Harden average 30 pts a game.. even though they are both 30, they are not created the same. Sengun team will loose more times than not if he averages 30 vs a Harden team if he averages 30. Why? Guards and some wings can account for more PTS per possession. in lamens terms, Guards and some wings like a lebron archetype and even the new age centers like a Chet or Wemby can do this one thing, and thats create their own 3pt shot. So at any possession Harden can account for more pts because he can 1.assist for 2 or 3 pts, 2.draw foul or score 2 pts, or 3 create his own 3 pt shot. Where Sengun only can assist or score 2pt shot… Now you take that data and scale up 15-50 possesions each time a one of those players have the ball. In most cases Harden team wins. Sengun can shoot 60% from the 2, and take up most of the team possessions, and all Harden need or a player that can create his own 3 needs to shoot is 40% off less POSSESSIONS.
I would love Tari and Amen in the startin five. But I have two concerns:
1) Team will start to struggle again with no proper offensive sets. Opponents surely have a plan just for a starting line up without offensive sets.
2) When the starting five starts to struggle who will come of the bench to fire up the team and make a difference? Fred? Jabari? Reed?
keep Sengun 40 minutes average on the court, that's the key for more assists, rebounds, offense and even for better defence.
It's good to see the numbers match up with what I'm seeing this far. We're net neutral with Jabari and Fred if hurting us.
I wish we'd get some of FVV's shots to Jabari in a couple of dedicated, likely mid post looks.
Hi Frank, a genuine question : what changed that Sengun can not make his great assists like before, it seems like he pushes the offence alone with his physicality and foot work. Back then when he pushes a little bit, there were many people cutting into the paint, but now they mostly wait for a free 3point at 3 point line, is this something ime planned ? Do you have some opinions on this ?
If Jabari was involved on more of the screen actions and short rolled to a shot. And did some curls off some backscreens to get more 2 point jumpers. It would take some pressure off the other bigs. The lack of movement or structure on offense hurts him the most
I honestly think Sengun should just do the bare minimum on defense. Regardless of how much we think he’s improved if he gets in foul trouble 9/10 times we’re screwed on offense. There’s simply no one else that can be as consistent and efficient on offense. INCLUDING JALEN.
Excellent analysis as always.
The offense looks much worse when not ran through Sengun. I especially dont understand the Dillion post ups smh. How Dillion get mid post touches before Jabari🤦🏿♂️
Yes, I'm a numbers nerd, and everything you said meets the eye test. Keep dropping that 🔥
Selam dostlar , ingilizcem yok , yorumları çevirip anlamaya çalışıyorum , benim Alperen ilgili anladığım yorumlar , Alperenin oyununu yavaş ve gelecekte şampiyon olacak kadronun bir parçası olmayacağı anlıyorum , ama pek saygı duyulmadığınıda hissediyorum maalesef.
we are what we are at this point. I don't see the team getting better until we add a top 10 or top 15 player. Maybe Amen gets better, but I don't see anyone currently on the roster becoming a top 10 player.
🔥
Everyone who enjoy the content please share on other platforms. This channel needs more exposure.
Great analysis again, agree with a lot of the things you said.
I am actually really impressed and happy how Ime changed this team's defense identity in 2 years. The way Sengun improved on defense is impressive. I think a lot of people take that as a given.
I think time is the finite resource for coach and stamina is the finite resource for the players, you got to pick and choose your priorities.
With that said, I feel like we are closer to the Larry Brown Detroit Pistons than any other championship team, which is not an exactly modern winning style but with some luck this is still a path. Therefore I would actually entertain the idea of trading for Damien Lillard (our Billups) if the bucks decides to blow up lol
Frank hearing these numbers brought something from my attention, now this is just fresh on my head, but if Jabari and Fred came off the bench. I think that it would be good for Jabari development as Fred can run pick and roll and develop kind of a synergy like he did with alpi. I think Jabari should have spent some time in the G league his first year. His confidence just seems so low and I don’t feel inspired when I’m watching him . Hope he can turn it around.
Bring back Cam Whitmore please
love the analysis
Sounds like solid ingredients in bad hands. How come players tend to turn into such ill shooters and become weak in teamplay moreso they r notcorrecting weaknesses dont make sense at all.U gotta have those players locked in a gym for months and make them syncronise their breathings and match their thoughts otherwise u will never get a ring.Currently They are presenting a poor performed show that nobody cares. A merchandise maitntaining self profits and bucks thats why it sucks
I missed this kind of content so much man. Great job
I agree with the Jabari thing . He just don’t get a lot of consistent opportunities like the other players . He should come off the bench and run some pick&roll/pop with Reed . That would open up the floor more in my opinion and Reed will find him cause all he doing is passing anyways but still a threat from 3
Best Rockets analyst in the game.
How far can a team progress with the performance of just one player (Alperen Sengun)? The shooters are doing a truly terrible job. This is the biggest reason why the number of assists is so low. All they do is wait behind the 3-point line and wait for the pass from Sengun. Remove Sengun from this team, the worst team in the NBA by far would be the Houston Rocket. This can't continue like this.
Yeah Jabari ain’t making the DOGE team 😂
The best Rockets channel, hands down
Hey this is a great analysis you made. Just wondering but will the live streams be on a schedule this season?
Smother Brothers
We drafted all these world class athletes, we’re not built to be a half court team. And when we do run half court sets, it needs to be through Sengun with cutters, not FVV spamming pick and roll and step back 3s. I think Cam would benefit a lot from changing our play style too. Time to trade FVV. He served his purpose and helped when we needed it but it’s time to move to the next phase.

Frank can you do a video on where we can Trade Bari & Tate for a legit consistent 3 point shooter?
