The Alperen Sengun Growth Spurt Changes EVERYTHING...

- When Alperen Sengun was drafted in 2021, he came into the league as an undersized center at 6’9” who would have to rely on his footwork to get shots off in the post. He was also viewed primarily as a project, even though his highlights from the pro league in Turkiye are ridiculous. You should check them out if you haven’t seen them. Well two years later he’s proven he wasn't really a project, putting up 15 points and 9 rebounds per game in his age 20 season. He also led the Rockets in nearly every advanced stat. He led the team in BPM, Win Shares, VORP, PER, WAR, Raptor and LEBRON. He also had the second highest lebron rating of any sophomore last season. But one bigger thing has changed than his expectations, and that would be his height. Sengun reportedly is coming in at 6’11” barefoot this offseason, which makes him a 7-footer with shoes on in the game. This changes everything for Sengun. Despite having elite footwork, he won’t have to entirely rely on it in the post anymore. It will be easier to shoot over the top, pass over the top, and be an effective defender. This growth spurt takes an already high upside player, and explodes his potential through the roof. I’m not afraid to say it, Sengun was the best player on this team last season and likely still has the highest upside on a team stacked with potential.
Think about subbing, I'm on the road to 10k!!!

sengun should be seen as the main building block of the team with all the other players in place as supporting cast, similar to the nugs
That's not a given he has to put in work just like the others. So your take is trash.
@@higherheights3105 Jokic took 7 season to bring championship. Let that sink in. Development takes time.
@@-Yu_Tsugami you think I don't know that. We were the team knocking the Nuggets out the playoffs tf.
@@-Yu_Tsugamilet what sink in? What does a championship have to do with being the core piece of a team? He’s the best player on the team by ALOT, build around him… simple 😂 “championship” huh?
@@the77th just as u state it. Build around him. Nuggets actually win last season championship right? Am i wrong?
Sengun is a playmaking big in the mold of a Sabonis or Jokic, just super high IQ, great fundamentals, refined post game, displays advanced vision as passer, & just looks like a great kid who loves the game and is hungry to be better.. can’t wait to see my Rockets turn some heads next season🔥
This aged great
I'm excited to see what this dude becomes. I hope Ime figures out how to use him.
I see Sengun, I like, I subscribe.
Dude if this is true, he is the same height as the Dream, now he has length and skill! Ohh hell yea, the Dream is going to turn him into the next best Center in Houston's history. Fuck all that Wemby talk, we got a legit HoF potential PG in Amen instead in the draft and now finished the rebuild by bringing in the future at PG in the draft, if we got Wemby then Sengun and Wemby would battle. Now no one we drafted battles, just earn their role they were drafted to do.
It’s crazy he wasn’t on anyone’s radar on draft night I believe he will be now, he’s rocket I can really dig it 👍🏼
I love Tari Eason, just out here lying to hype up his boy lol.
This crushes so many dirty agendas out there and I love it
Alpy will explode this year, big expectations from him. ✊
3:33 insane footwork and potential. I didn't see any Rockets games or watch many highlights of them last season but thanks for putting him on my radar! Subbed
Appreciate you. Always looking to get players more recognition
Euro bigs are taking over the league Nugs,Sac & now H-Town.
He did look a little bit taller last nights game
Subbed
Thanks for covering players the media doesn’t really talk about
Yeah of course man. I try to make sure every player gets the props they deserve

Rockets might have just had the best consecutive 3 drafts in NBA history, in 3 consecutive drafts the Rockets drafted 9 picks in the 1st round, out of those 9, they found 6 potential elite stars. This team will never miss the playoffs again as long as this crew is together.
Rebuild phase - OVER
Liftoff phase - COMMENCING 3 , 2 , 1.....
My opinion, getting longer is better than getting taller. Height does allow you to grow to a bigger frame, but that comes with a price - heavier weight on your knees, feet and ankles.
Olajuwon was only 6'9 but had the standing reach of a 7'4 guy. He had amazing footwork due to his lower center of gravity but was long enough to guard 7 footers. You block with your hands, not with your head.
Hakeem was a unicorn
My expectations are 35 wins this year.
Nah, they will easily go .500 and they will never miss the playoffs again as long as they are together.
Sengun’s problem is not his height but his wingspan
defense
@@bankhead832you know defense heavily relies on physique
He'll never have a huge wingspan, but there were varying reports when he was drafted that suggested it was at least a couple of inches longer than his height. Presumably his arms grew along with the rest of his body, so he's probably right around the average center now in terms of wingspan.
Was he really 6ft9 when he debuted now he’s 6ft11😊
@@tunahanada6116 agreed and he needs to work on his until he gets better in the paint defensively we are going no where
In order to get Sengun full potential, they'll have to trade KPJ or Jalen Green
There is zero reason to do that. Did the Nuggets trade Murray or MPJ because they have Jokic?
FVV and Amen will be Sengun’s partner in crime. Jalen or KPJ will either be 6th man or will be traded after this season.
Kpj is gone. But tbh amen Thompson and FVV fixes the issue that existed with both kpj and jg on the court together.
Jalen Green and Sengun had a great 2 man game. Pick and roll etc. Sengun's efficiency also dropped considerably when Green was on the bench vs on the floor. Knowing that should change your opinion sir.
Nuggets should trade MPJ for Sengun since Rockets 100% will build around Amen Thompson & Jabari Smith. NOT Alperen. Sengun with Jokic would be so amazing!!!
I think Sengun will work best with warriors. He draws so much attention inside and there is the splash brothers outside. And if they miss, Sengun will be there for the offensive rebound.
@@DarkgnomeI think y'all both are on dope
@@higherheights3105 thank you
@@jaylin39 thank our Gm for drafting Sengun. Y'all always trying to steal the rocket's young prospects.
Your out of your Mind Bro! Sengun aint going anywere he is very young and is Already on his way to being a Top center in the League we already Have so Many Wings! We dont need no MPJ! No one on Denvers Roster is worth Trading Sengun for Except for maybe Jokic but there practically the same player they just look differentso that makes no sense either. Not even Jamal Murry, Would get you Alperin Sengun!
