Offensively, he is already at elite level. His playmaking is simply outrageous. Coming into this year, his defense is amazing. Only 21 years old ...... and sky is the limit. already looking at All Star this year.
If this guy ever figures out how to get his 3 point shooting up to about 33-34% he’s gonna be a problem. If he can be a legit 3 pt threat he’s gonna be very difficult to guard.
Really if he gets up at least 3-5 3s attempts that’s good for his game. Kid got terrific post footwork. He’s playing like a pay gasol role and he’s not a bum on defense
Note that even these players are not as explosive as some elite level athletes, they are for sure strong as hell if we are talking about muscle. They might not look super muscular as others but that's not because they don't have those muscles, that's because they have some extra weight keeping them looking lean and ripped. They also use these extra weight to gain extra momentum and just physically bully others on court.
Yes and no. Sengun doesn’t have Jokic’s ethereal touch around the basket nor does he consistently shoot mid range jumpers or threes at least not yet. He does however have a pretty refined post game and playmaking ability that’s probably on par with Sabonis or better. He definitely project to be a multi time all star and All NBA player as is but he still has a lot of potential to get better which is scary.
I tweeted about how Sengun would become one of the best players in the world a couple of days ago and now boom, you post this video. I didn't jump on his bandwagon earlier because his jumpshot wasn't going in as much and his true shooting wasn't great. Now, I am absolutely on his bandwagon.
Losing their other guard (as you called him, mmhmmhmmm, lol) was actually a good thing for Houston as a team. It made the lineup (and egos) a lot simpler to manage. Now they're actually looking like a TEAM.
@@gold6813i think is KPJ(kevin porter jr. he is a fkn shit pg n rockets former coach still let him have the ball during the last few season. That was fucked. Fortunately this season they finally got a good coach.
He needs to improve mid and 3s to truly unlock his potential. His defense used to be biggest issue and looked unfixable but he was able to overcome that so now to the easy stuff like jump shot and FT
Obviously, an extremely talented and creative European big man plus good finishers/defenders around him will be an NBA trend for a long time. Every team that wants to rebuild will be looking for new Senguns from Europe.
@@AJ-bb1tc I hope I'm wrong , but I see Sengun ending up like Tyreke Evans who had one of the best rookie years and hasn't improved at all for the rest of his career.
@@RighteousUncle he was a guest at a turkish basketball show in a sports channel on youtube. he said he didnt even rest this summer to improve his game and he wants to add some plays and moves and stuff every single season. he is more confident anymore and he wants more...
@@student99bg not even close, his shoots are maybe better than Alpys but not the athletism. he is such a heavy truck compared to Alpy. I don't even count the intelligence of passing.
I love Alpi, as a rockets fan he has become my favourite player the last couple years, i cannot wait to see how he goes against Jokic next game. GO Rockets
His rookie season we were the worst in the league. But I saw his potential from day 1 he was cooking. I know he would be one of the best in the league, he’s only getting started
He also grew this season close to 7ft tall. He came into the leauge in his rookie 6’9 his rookie season. That helped him out a lot this this season. All his teammates told him to remeasure his height when he came back from the off season because he definitely got taller and it was noticeable.
@@soulunbound4882 The fat gives the illusion of smaller while the thin gives the illusion of taller. EDIT: He's probably 6'10 not 6'11. He's 6'8 and half when he joined, grew 1.5 to 6'10. No way he's 6'11 like Jack Londale.
As a houston fan, the only thing that kept me sane the year we drafted him was actually drafting him. I called it then that he’d be something special. In a few years, we’ll see TH-cam videos along the lines of “who were the 15 players drafted before Sengun?” He won mvp of a pro league at 19. I watched clips and breakdowns of it at the time. From those, I knew he’d be special Also, his style means he’s easy to pair with another big like Jabari. That adds size to the floor.
The league where he was selected as MVP is not an ordinary league. Turkish teams win championships or play at least final four in Europe every year. The MVP of the Turkish league means one of the best in Europe.
He is a better defender compared to the previous seasons, which was one of the glaring issues. Right now his main weakness is his low 3p efficiency. If he gets better at 3p shooting and/or just shows overall improvement for other aspects of the game, we are looking at an MVP contender in a few years.
He doesn't need to, that's why I said "and/or". But it is something he should work on for him to reach MVP level. If he gains that ability it will force the opponents to stick to him both inside and outside. If they give him the space, he can just shoot. If they try to defend, it will create even more gaps for him to assist.
Last year when most new players play for themselves , Sengun showed he is a great teamplayer. Scores when possible , and shares the ball when there is a better option. I just felt sorry for the leg position in lakers game , and happy to see he had not injured on ankle , and came up better in hornets ⭐⭐
Everyone needs to stop comparing Şengün to Jokic, yes he is good but Şengün is a different type of player all together. I believe under Udoka he will flourish and eventually surpass him. Jokic had his time and became great Şengün is still a baby and with his athleticism he will end up dominating the league. Say what you want about him it will have no ill effect. Go Rockets 🚀🚀🚀
You forgot that sick court to court when he bounced the ball behind his back between two defenders and dunked it that was the baddest play I ever seen a big make and I grew up watching Hakeem speaking of his jump is from working with the Dream this summer he has the greatest footwork player training him
Having Sengun on the rockets has been a joy to watch. The addition of Vanfleet as a PG provides him a great opportunity to continue to evolve as a player
i watched almost every game the last few years. And only two players really impressed me. Jae'sean Tate and Alpi. The Turkish Nightmare is gonna change the NBA
We always knew that he is going to best, but this year's improvement even surprised me ngl. I can't imagine what will happen when he improves 3 pt shots and physical strength
yeah as long as his dream-shake-to-dirk-one-legged-fades, clean assed hooks & push shots drop like they do, he is gonna have open players around him to dime everywhere
fred vanvleet will help him a lot, I loved sengun from the moment i became a rockets fan they can be very powerful, i finally have hope for this great team.
having a good coach and hakeem olajuwon training his post game is crazy. i also like how he has a bit more confidence on his long 2s and 3s. They aren't super consistent but it'll def start to kick in with experience
he obviously looks up too Jokić but unlike him Sengun has some good atleticism he can throw dunks which can help because only Jokic can have that magic touch around the rim
Getting reliable vets like Jeff Green, Aaron Holiday, Reggie Bullock, as well as Dillon Brooks really helped the team defensively. Having Fred as their main pg took away the pressure from Jalen Green too who's average 20 a game, Jabari is getting more open shots than ever, and Tari has become a very good two way player. Rockets are gonna be good in the coming years if the young core develops solid chemistry and team work with their vets.

Having a real point guard like van vleet to run the pick n roll with a high IQ guy like Sengun is making all the difference
good to give some credits to van vleet
Yep, Utah desperately needs a van Fleet or such. They had Conley...
And a better coach
Yeah but he don’t really score much in the PnR
if only he did that with the raptors
One of my favorite players, he’s the Rockets franchise player.
The Whirling Dervish! Him & Kessler are my fav centers.
No he’s not
@@MarketaDoesCxrn haha you just hater men he is talented beast

Luka, Jokic and (still young) Sengún are the type of player beating opponents by going slower and using brain over muscles
Mind you, those guys are still pretty high on the muscles department. They just rely on them less.
The best players often have the highest IQ.
@@kurosan0079mind you they look like dough boys with no muscle

I think the kid just may be an All-Star this season. No joke.
jokic archetype is rising, this might be the future. sengun seems much more athletic too, could be very scary
Best player on that team for sure

Bro got the best free throw ritual
Sengun was the best player from that draft, and he was shown he is the future centerpiece of Rockets since the first season.
debatable. However, I do think he's the one that has the most potential. (looking like a future jokic)
It's between him, Scottie and Franz for me. Incredible talents
