[Azarly] Nicolas Batum called Rockets center Alperen Sengun, ‘Baby Jokic,’ before Clippers’ practice today. He’s said this a few times in conversations he and I have had, adding that he’s incredibly talented and the Rockets really should play through him.

If someone could forward these statements to Silas, that would be great.
There shouldn’t be a half court set where Sengun doesn’t touch the ball when he’s on the floor. Seems simple to be honest. Instead we get James Harden cosplay iso ball from KPJ. People complain about Jalen’s iso ball but at least he runs something resembling a two man game with Sengun when they’re both on the floor. KPJ acts like he doesn’t even exist most of the time.
What if Batum is one of the guys posting the daily “run through Sengun” threads 👀👀
What if all of this is just a PsyOp to turn our young stars against each other because the rest of the NBA knows they’re gonna be unstoppable in a few years?
He needs to be out point guard. He has more intelligence and pressing ability than KPJ.
We have nothing to lose to see how he’d do taking the ball up the floor like Jokic does.
