3:10 This man did an ankle fake lmao
You made me entertained from watching Sengun for the first time ever. Before this when, I thought of Sengun all I could think of was his creepy molest the ball free throw routine. LOL
I don't understand tanking so hard for a top prospect that could flame out. You devalue your other pieces like Green and Porter because smart GMs see they're not helping even with their talent because the team is such an absolute mess.
The talent for the team rn is weak compared to the rest of the league, even with a very good coach they'd still be in the hunt for a top pick, and setting the foundation for future success by properly training their guys. What they're doing to these young guys to tank is absurd ridiculous.
lmao I didn't think I would laugh so much at dead honest commentary
Why are people always comparing this guy to jokic? Wtf is it because they are euro?
Jokic is 285 lbs and sengun is 240lbs?! Sengun can back down a 285lbs defender? 😂
low budgeted modest baby Jokic
Sprinting down the court like he has a parachute on his back. That’s wild 😅😅
This is my favourite Thinking Basketball video
i’m surprised you didn’t talk about how he occasionally just dunks right on top of defenders😭
Alpyyy
I love the dude but this has to be your funniest video yet 🤣🤣🤣
You sir have a beautifully described with humor this wondrous being. Thank you kindly for sharing your talent. Alperen seems like a class act, love the humility & kid-like love for the game.
Edit: your chuckle makes me chuckle, spot on analysis!
Oldman and pickup 🤣 100%
He is only 20. He will definetely get better
TURKİSH DELIGHT :d
I'm not sure if I would want him on a finals contender, but he looks like one of the most fun guys in the league to root for on a rebuilding team.
He is wasted in current rockets. JALEN and KEVIN duo usage are too much
Everything comes from his calm attitude for play just like his idol Joker , so wellcome little bro Joker 2 !!!
Brian Scalabrine vibes, and I meant that in good.
