Alperen is making real progress. The rate at which he is improving his reads is absolutely ridiculous for a guy that is 21 years old. He is similar to Harden in that he is a basketball genius. "High-level triple-double, obviously. But in general, I think that's who he is and he is starting to understand how teams are guarding him. I just wish we would have been a little more crisp down the stretch and I think we made a few young mistakes." - Ime Udoka on Alperen Sengun.
People's confirmation bias is a real thing. Can you imagine some of the Rockets' most important fans/influencers if Jabari or Jalen had produced these numbers? You bet they would not be as quiet about it as they are now.
That’s exactly why we believed in him from the beginning. A combination of skill, high iq and character minus lob threat. He should be better at the end, that’s for sure but it also depends on ime having alternatives and shifting gears. The team stopped when they got better on the pnr defense.
it doesn’t matter he talks or not. It is the need to talk that breaks the concentration, not the actual talk.
