Green was an exceptional passer in College, which is what caught my eye beck then..It took Draymond until age 24 before he was a good enough ballhandler and passer to take on a significant offensive role. For Sengun, that's the year 2027. He has plenty of prime developmental years to continue working on his skills, and I think he could certainly end up as skilled as Green by the time that he's in his prime.
You kind of said it yourself that the way Sengun looks to create offense is pretty exceptional for a player his size. It's up to good coaching and team construction to figure out how to make the most of that unusual talent, but I think if you're swinging for ceiling (and you should be) it's a good strategy to draft players like that.
Sengun's a statistical outlier in many ways, but if you're thinking about immediate impact, he's averaging 10 offensive rebounds+steals+blocks per 40. He's not the kind of guy who just stands around if you're not drawing up plays for him...he plays with a great motor and makes things happen on the court. I don't think he's going to win games for you right away (most 19-year-olds won't), but he's going to be in the thick of the action because that's just how he plays.
I can get on the Segun train.. He plays hard and through a lot of contact. Very good court vision, sense of timing which some players never acquire.. I don't see a center there at all, but perhaps a stretch four / wing..
Worst case a poor man's sabonis.. I doubt he goes number one, but if we are 4-6 we could do worse
