Why Houston Rockets big man Alperen Sengun will SURPRISE the NBA

#AlperenSengun #HoustonRockets #NBA The Houston Rockets found a total steal of a big man as they have acquired 6’10 Turkish big man Alperen Sengun with the 16th pick of the 2021 NBA draft after the Rockets gave up two protected future first round picks for him. And after participating in the Summer League for the Houston Rockets together with other rookies like Jalen Green, Usman Garuba, and Josh Christopher, fans have witnessed why Sengun would have qualified as a lottery pick. In 4 summer league games, Sengun averaged 14.5 points, 11 rebounds, 2.8 assists, 1.3 steals and 3 blocks per game, while also shooting a solid 38 percent from deep, as he played against the Detroit Pistons, Toronto Raptors, Cleveland Cavaliers, and Orlando Magic. Even as an 18-year old playing in Turkey, Sengun was the MVP of the Turkish BSL while playing for Besiktas as he averaged 18.6 points, 8.8 rebounds, 1.3 steals, and 1.5 blocks, while putting up a decade-high PER. This earned Sengun recognition as one of the most highly ranked international big man prospects coming into the draft while earning some Nikola Jokic, Domantas Sabonis, or Marc Gasol comparisons. Alperen Sengun’s skillset has wowed NBA scouts because of his crafty footwork, natural playmaking ability, and solid offensive package. And although a lot of NBA mock drafts and big boards had Sengun pretty low, he’s starting to show how good he can become. But can Rockets’ coach Stephen Silas utilize him alongside big men like Christian Wood and Daniel Theis. Is Sengun really the next big international NBA superstar?
