Why do Sengun and Sabonis get compared to Jokic instead of each other?

For whatever reason both get compared to Jokic but don’t really have the same game at all. Sengun and Sabonis are not bigs reliant on elite footwork in the post nor are 'Point Centers '. Both are honestly no more than good pssers at their position but they do not orchestrate offenses.

Why do they get compared to Jokic who plays a completely different style rather than each other who have the same style.

    Sabonis is very strong and heavily favours his dominant left hand. He also gets most of his assists from handoffs and cutters. Sengun is one of the most ambidextrous players in the league and he generates offense and does pg style assists. He is maybe even bolder with his passes than Jokic is. Sengun is much more similar in style to Jokic but is arguably even more pg like due to him diving and kicking out or diving and dunking a lot.

    Lol what? Elite post footwork is probably Sengun’s best trait as a player and he uses it all the time…

    You need to watch more Sengun. Sabonis has his own way to making plays but Alpi and Jokic have a lot of similarities. Of course, Jokic is like a semi-god on what he does and the whole other level but Alpi is unbelievably mature for his age, 21 years old. He is really the best candidate to carry the torch after Jokic.

    And don’t say Alpi does not have elite footwork. This is just not true. He is elite.

    Sabonis isnt necessary a scorer like Sengun or Jokic. Typically tries to facillitate first before looking for his shot
