    Funny how posts like this never have actual statistical backing.

    Rebounding stats don't give you a glimpse of how many rebounds Sengun misses, defense is atrocious. Zions shot blocking is elite under a Lme defense

    No trades are happening unless major problems happen before next year's trade deadline.

    We just don't know if these two can gel together right now because Jalen playing so poorly throughout the season until recently.

    Sengun should be 100% trying to get that 3pt shot online this off-season tho.

    This elite shot blocker is currently averaging 0.6 blocks/game. C’mon man

    He also sucks on defense and doesn’t rebound at all

    i agree. If rocketchamp doesn’t like Sengun on defense he’s gonna hate Zion.

    This totally depends what the "real" Jalen is. We've seen this current Jalen for like 10 games now. If this is actually how Jalen is going to play consistently then yeah, obviously you get rid of Sengun. But it's 10 games out of over 200.

    The best combo in the NBA? Seriously? They wouldn't even be close.

    I hate to say it, but if this current team had been playing together all season, the Rockets would probably already be seeded in the playoffs.

    Games like these against the Jazz is where Sengun is so important. They overload on Green so someone else needs to step up and play-make.

    Dude, stop posting this crap. Jalen played like crap, that's the difference.

    He’s never been a shot blocker in the nba. Or much of a defensive presence at all

    Lol, first time I looked at this thread (PG 40) and I can't see there is anything intellectually stimulating on this page to make me want to read backwards.

    We need Sengun. I can't recall, but were we debating if the team was better w/o Yao during our 22 game win streak in 2007-08?
