How far can Houston go this year under Ime Udoka? He has the entire team playing principled defense while Sengun is an all star and Jalen Green is a home game all star.

This is not what I've seen but I could be wrong. Green is an incredibly dumb offensive player whereas Booker was always savvy as hell.

Green's athleticism, if he maintains the effort on d, will make him a million times more effective on that side than Booker can ever be. But on offense he just needs to be reigned in so he doesn't have negative effects on his own team. It's good Sengun is becoming that guy that needs the ball in his hands more because Green is not that dude, they need to control how often he gets touches and where.
