After 3 seasons, Sengun is still the underdog. This guy has never been respected enough for his talent, unselfish gameplay and great work ethics.
Sengun is overrated
@@djmill8000 Sengun is extremely underrated.
@@djmill8000 play with tosys. Suit you more as you sound like
@@bastadimasta i swear this guy searches "Alperen Sengun" on TH-cam and makes bad comments all new videos. he is obsessed to alperen sengun. This is not normal bro. I just came to here for new information about alperen but this guy isn't normal.
@@Kejeee you aren't normal, you search TH-cam about Sengun looking for unreal opinions about a guy. I only provide REALISTIC takes about Sengun because the glaze riding for him is unreal. A lot of you Sengun Stans are emotional and don't want to accept to the truth, so when someone points out the truth he is "unreal" no you're "unreal" for emotionally glazing Sengun without any real basketball facts to back up or point out
Sengun is a creative genius who can crack open any defense in NBA.
fred was good as an interim starting PG while the young guys developed but he was nowhere close to our best player. fred played the whole season being able to take an open 3 whenever he wanted to with a Sengun screen. thank god for those screens because fred had the lowest fg% in the league when shooting at the rim. And not only did a majority of Fred's scoring come from Sengun screens but also the majority of his assist were just pocket passes off the PnR while Sengun did the heavy lifting by creating and finishing at the rim.
some assists, the passer deserves 80-90% of the credit. Like when Harden would gift Capela a perfectly placed lob at the rim right were he could get it. but the passes from fred to Sengun, i give 60-70% credit to the roll man.
another thing to note that might escape someone that didn't watch all 82 rockets games was that Sengun looked like he was testing himself at times. he rarely tries to force a switch with a weaker, smaller defender. more often, Sengun looks to attack the best defenders on purpose. Wemby, AD, Rudy, Chet, walker kessler etc. he never shies away from a difficult matchup and he often delivers in such scenarios. I don't think there's a player in the league that can lock him down consistently.
additionally, you say he's not athletic but that's cap. he's one of the most athletic big men in the league. h'es strong, quick, flexible, and has elite body control. athleticism needs to stop being used as another word for verticality.
Defensively, most people just look at the EPM stats and assume he's gotten a bit better on defense since his rookie year. The full story is that when he came into the league, he was an aggressive defender that fouled a lot which limited his minutes. after Ime arrived (because Silas taught these guys nothing it seems) Sengun learned to defend in the paint without fouling. a lot of his contest this year looked completely different to how sengun would contest a shot in his first 2 seasons. in previous years, at the rim when someone goes up to dunk, he's jumping with them and partially at them with his arms outstretched over them. that led to a lot of foul calls becasue offensive vets knew how to get the whistle. last year, Sengun played defense in the paint a bit less aggressive and at those crucial contests, he would stick his arms straight up to avoid fouls as much as possible. he stopped jumping at guys as much and realized he could just let them jump at him and absorb their contact and most of the time they would miss. he's still improving and learning what he's allowed to get away with before the official blows the whistle but he still anchored a top 10 defense at 21 in his first year with a real coach.
I would remind y'all that he anchored a top 10 defense.
I want to see him improve his rebounding, outside shooting and yes defense. Sky's the limit with this dude.
His defense isn't good, lots of good defenders on the team.
Team's offense with Sengün is also overrated (currently). The one leg fadeaway looks ridiculous, because he's literally left open
@@dougiet.2112Rocket was the #8 best defensive team in NBA when Sengun was on the court.
That one legged fadeaway shots is extremely efficient.
@@bastadimasta"extremely efficient" nope. You are giving Alpi too much credit instead of the players/Ime around him
@@dougiet.2112 he shoot them at 50.7%
@@bastadimasta no, he doesn't. There is no body tracking Sengun's open One legged jumper
He's WIDE OPEN, shooting off of one leg, for what reason??
One factor to not disregard in evaluating Sengun (and to a lesser extent Tari & Jabari), is the world of difference in development under Udoka vs. the unstructured limbo they all suffered under former coach Silas. One almost wants to restart the clock completely for Green and Sengun at last year. Sengun, not only was he not a developmental priority, like Green and KPJ, but it almost seemed like he was in the doghouse under Silas, playing behind Theis, Christian Wood and even Bruno Fernando. The best player on the team treated, at best as an afterthought, and almost as an annoyance by the Silas coaching staff. The whole Rockets defense sucked under Silas. Last year was the first year with data on what is Sengun's defense like under a defensive minded coach with four other guys actually trying to play defense.
Considering some of the names you put above him, it is clear that y'all are still underrating him. You don't realize that his winning impact is related to the Rockets' 3pt%. And it's funny that you don't see him as the #1 player. I will laugh more at this video when he misleads y'all again and again.
He is right you are wrong Sabonis 2.0
Also, i think the Rockets have a future number one guy. Sengun will be in a couple of years. Green could be. Jabari, Amen and Cam will develop into number two guys.
I hope the front office doesn't touch the core for at least one more season.
This young kid remember me Pau Gasol alot, the only problem he have now is he play a center position, hes not to match vertical player & a big force on the rim both sides the floor, but sometimes he's agressive too. So rockets sometimes will need to change the system like Celtic, you put Jabari 3, Sengun 4 S. Adams or other center at 5
what do you mean Fred is the best player, he just had to run offense thru Sengun cause he just can't do anything by himself, he is a role player, where is Sengun took initiative and being an engine for the sole offense and he did pretty good job with it as he is one of the creative players in nba. he can pretty much score with good efficiency against almost anyone, create an offense from anywhere, again unlike Fred.
11:14 Sengun is good vertically but he prefers to use his flexibility and post moves offensively. There are not many offensive options once you jump.
Sengun can open the distance between himself and the defender at least 4 feet only by bending his spine backwards.
What if his line is 24/11/7 /1/1.5 and neutral in defense!
Sengun WAY too low... JFC. When will he get his respect...?
it's okay bro...the doubters can keep doubting. that's how sengun proves everyone not correct so far. pray and wish for him to shine and stay healthy.
Sengun is the #1.
Hard decisions coming up for the Rockets! Hope we don't trade away the next Harden to another team...
I think jalen is gonna have something to say about that
Fred wasn’t the best player just a stop gap pg since the rockets were forced to spend money for the salary cap due to having everyone of importance on rookie contracts.
Offensively the rockets ran through sengun and when he went Jalen Green remained everyone why he was the 2nd overall pick.
if he ups his numbers this season he might end up elsewhere with a max, houston will crawl another decade at the bottom of the league!
Just right ranking only Rocket fans believe in him. No other team in the league would make Sengun a Franchise player thats for sure
How you know your are the other team Gm
Defansı biraz gelişti ama hala şut yok üçlük yok geliştirememiş gibi görünüyor acaba ne zaman geliştitmeyi düşünüyor😅😅
Green is one of the biggest variables, but also imo the most natural fit as a true number 1. If his outside shooting levels out as…not as high as his hot streak, but somewhere between that and his career…and continues to put in the effort on D and on the boards and look to pass, with the talent around him I think he can be that guy.
Of course he’s also the most likely to play himself out of a role, so…but his skill set imo translates the most naturally, there isn’t really an offensive skill he doesn’t possess at a high level except processing, and that’s gotta better with Udoka.
