    Sengun improved by leaps and bounds on the defensive end last season, and actually slipped a bit offensively. His DWS was actually higher than his OWS, his DRTg was 108, and his DBPM was just under 2. Houston was a monster defensive team and he lead them in DWS and his DRTg was tied with Amen Thompson. The lineups that did not include him were all much worse than those that did. He’s not playing strong defence because of FIBA rules, he’s been playing very good D for over a year now, his rep just hasn’t caught up.

    He’s not your traditional rim protector (though he’s gotten better there) and that’s a big reason people sleep on his D, but he has an amazingly high BBIQ, he’s switchable and works hard and is much more athletic than he looks…if you ever get a chance watch his warm-up let’s call it ‘stretching’ routine, he’s so limber and flexible it hurts to watch. There are occasional match-up problems, as with virtually any big, some guys who give him a hard time, and Ime is unusually comfortable sitting anyone in the kind of situation, and sometimes casual viewers will see him subbed out late in a close game and conclude he’s a defensive weak spot, but believe me, he’s not.

    You're pushing Türkiye and Sengun behind among the remaining teams in the tournament, but Türkiye will win this tournament! Sengun will be the MVP! See you then!

    He was already a positive defensively last year. It’s cool that you are not aware. You can just watch last year’s tape a little or wait next year to watch some games. Just watch though 😂

    Turkey are the favorites. They are shooting crazy but IMO this is the only part that are better than the Greeks. The Greeks are tougher, meaner, and they are playing a scary defense.

    the sad thing about most of locked on hosts is that they are regular dudes with shitty opinions , thus the low watch numbers.

    All I'll say about Sengun is that he was clearly the best rookie on the rockets when we drafted him. Silass just benched him repeatedly while letting Jalen work through mistakes. Then his second year, he was the best player on the team period…and again Silass never played through him. Even Sengun's defense looked awful because KPJ and Jalen literally never guarded anyone. Sengun had to guard 2-3 players at a time before Ime came to Houston.

    8:59 Considering our poor athletic infostructure, general lack of national athletic department services.. unbearable economic conditions for athletes, etc. etc. then realizing our overall international basketball achievements and of course adding our population pool to the comparison.. We re a basketball superpower. Have even defeated USA in the past.. where was Turkey? Greece:much heavier jersey, without a great nor complete roster right about now, yet good enough to reach to this eurobasket's final at the very least. Yannis is changing the dna of the team since day 1, he s failed to lead us to success in the past and we ve failed to find the best roster around him , we re playing a type of Yannisball, just like the bucks, who have been doing exactly the same thing: trying to fit the pieces around Yannis..
    And by the way, our best basketball player right now.. is the 4 time euroleague title holder, and european legend, Kostas Sloukas, because 4 euroleague titles are a bit heavier for us than one nba ring.
