Do you guys do any research or actually watch the games ? Amen came up as a point guard. So saying hes never done this is crazy. You guys need to watch the actual games and do your research before you give the takes. Did you not see what Dallas was doing doubling KD amd apli as soon as they crossed half court and how Houston handled it ?? Like watch the games and know how you're talking about when you talk about these or any guys. It makes it look amd sound like we shouldn't listen to what ypu say and that's unfortunate
7:38 Funny how Parsons thinks of himself as Dallas Maverick..
Just going off the headline.. he might have it with him, but he is no Jokic. Sengun has all the talent to start being called like another Jokic, but damn he cries too much for fouls.. almost like every other play that the defense does a good job, wants to cry for a foul. Jokic doesnt do that as much (rarely even) as Sengun does.
Amen was drafted a pg
Sengun remains me of a mixture of Jokic and Sabonis combined
Amen was a point guard coming into the league he was eventually supposed to be the point guard, even if they didn’t trade for KD. The Van fleet injury just fast tracked it
Sengun is more like pau gasol
Rockets getting chipped up.
Sengun is very unique. Better than Jokic
Can't stand to hear this guy talk he doesn't know his facts
You guys don’t know shit about amen Thompson, and I’m tired of hearing you guys downplay his skills and try to play sengun that guy can’t move and he’s not athletic that’s why you don’t see him doing nothing flashing and he stays under the basket or he shoots stable threes. Nobody wants to see that this is not the euro NBA this is the national basketball association in the USA.
Hey Chandler! Which team are you most proud to play for?
Please stop mentioning Joker about everything Sengun. He is his own player. This sht is getting old. Find something orginal to say.
Facts
Amen was drafted as a point guard…
this podcast aint it bro. Y’all way off with the takes, chandler not watching the games lord
Lol no he doesnt have jokic ceiling. Doesnt have close to the same touch. Is a good playmaker nit a great playmaker. Doesnt have the roubounding. Or nearly the same level IQ. Isnt winning one mvp let alone three. Lets cool it.
Alpi is the cleverest player in the NBA. It is so much fun to watch him and make plays.
❤
Russell should be starting for the mavs for sure. He is disrespected.
They got the stats wrong asf
Amen is absolutely not working as a PG. I mean, are you blind? They're struggling terribly to bring the ball up, he averages the second most turnovers on the team and his to/assist ratio is not good at all for a PG. They're a good enough team they can beat most teams without a PG, but they will struggle against the top teams.
Thank god sengun isn’t on okc
These dudes literally watch 5 minutes of highlights then start talking
Sengun will be better, Jokic was never this dominant early in his career.
Fake.
Amen isn’t backing down ! He’s doing his thang 💪🏼. Sengun ceiling is whatever his ceiling is keep the opinions and let them grow and play and get better
Well-said, again, Lou. You make sense and you tell the truth.
Alpi go man
7:56 that sounded sick yo
Bringing in another point would be a mistake
I thought Chandler actually knew what he was talking about. Amen has been a pg his entire life until he got to the NBA.
"make somebody else brong it up" He's not the only one bringning the ball up lol Just like, do some research man, before commenting. im getting sick of these youtube folks not knowing what they talking about.
Alpi was not coming out of nowhere. He was mvp at 18 years old in turkish basketball league. Turkish basketball league is not a joke, best 2nd or 3rd league in the world dude.
Saying not to bench Klay Thompson after the last three seasons we have seen enough . Hes more than behind the curve, what good is a shooter that can’t shoot!? Yup just keep waiting until he finds consistency with his jumper Dallas yall will be 6-48 by the time yall bench Klay.
Alpi the magician of ottoman empire😂
Şengün is below his true potential.
You'll see what more he can do this year.
The NBA is soft, that's why Europe can play here now
Okc it’s the absolute best at evaluating players. They had this guy and got first rounds for him
