Incredible match from Alperen Sengun last night against Jazz, Alpi who confirms that this year he is clearly an All-Star in the West. Incredible destiny for the Turkish pivot, sixteenth in the 2021 Draft (the editor of this article still mourns the choice of the Spurs that year with pick 12… Josh “Zizi” Primo).
Last night the match between the Jazz and the Rockets was one of the most exciting. We didn’t necessarily expect it, and if the Jazz played their basketball the Rockets rebelled a little, they who were not at their best in recent matches (5 defeats in six games). The young Rockets in particular, with good matches from Jabari Smith Jr., Amen Thompson and Cam Whitmore, and a…fantastic match from Alperen Sengun.
Alperen Sengun n’est pas une sorte de Nikola Jokic, Alperen Sengun is him, il est Alperen Sengun.
A mixtape made of power and technique, concluded in the best possible way with a move in the post against Walker Kessler, after which Sengun will unleash all his rage. The counter of the match for Amen Thompson, Dillon Brooks who intensifies the defense in the last moments, but the real boss of these Rockets was born in Giresun and he turned 21 years old this summer.
Impeccable as soon as he touched the ball last night (15-26 shooting including 11 from the thermals and 6/10 on throws), 14 rebounds, 6 assists, only 1 lost ball, the clutch attitude and a guy’s body language with who wants to go into battle, so let’s go cheerfully. This season Sengun is 21.5 points, 9 rebounds and 4.9 assists, an outsider status in the race for the MIP, and the ambition to lift the Rockets wherever he can, until the play-in this will already be good.
It won’t be easy but this Alpi, not much seems to resist him. So we’re going to watch it (very) closely, then celebrate it as it deserves in Indianapolis on February 18. Afterwards ? Step by step, he is only 21 years old as we said, even if Sengun is progressing quickly, very very quickly.
