Alperen Sengun is the Rockets' franchise player

Is this the fat and lazy one?

 

Is this the fat and lazy one?

 

But his 3s...but his defense...but his FTs...but I don't like his style of play...but blah blah blah...

 

deserves its own thread

 

Hasnt Sengun been playing through an ankle injury? Has your dumb ass stopped to think maybe he cant? LOL Also how many centers are defensive stalwarts and 20 plus scorers and their teams leading assister, steals (tied) and rebounder?? NONE. There are none in the NBA even the generational Wmby doesnt do all that lol Your lack of basketball Knowledge is the issue here. The problem isnt Sengun its coaching and replacing a guy who shoulda been a DPLOY candidate and one of the fastest players in the NBA with a 37 year old who is one of the slowest people in the NBA. Your low level bbball iq wont let you blame KD because he shoots well LMAO.

"Based on recent advanced tracking data (as of December 2025), Kevin Durant is considered one of the slowest defenders in the NBA, frequently ranking among the top 10 slowest players in terms of average movement speed. While his offensive speed and efficiency remain elite, his defensive movement speed has declined.
Key Details on KD's Speed:

• Slowest Defenders List: Recent, in-season data (2025–26 season) has ranked Durant as the second-slowest defender in the league (3.47 mph), behind only James Harden.
• Contextualizing "Slow": The data highlights "slowest defenders" often based on tracking stats, not necessarily that he is slow in a straight-line sprint on offense. These lists often include other stars like Luka Dončić and LeBron James, who conserve energy on the defensive end."

Sengun doesn't have a dedicated thread for him making the all star game?

 

Couple of threads down…AlpiJohn SenJune: All Stur. Hurry before Reeko bumps it to the 10th page.

 

why do you think he deserves one?

 

I also want to add to this that Sengun has a higher defensive rating than Steven Adams who people swear is a better defender than Sengunl. On the list of the top 20 highest defensive rated centers Sengun is 17th but no one above him avearages as many assists or steals proving that no one can do EVERYTHING elite. Its asking too much. Sengun already does a lot of **** for this team without credit. The only person above him who scores more is Wmby who is supposed to be generational but does not have to worry about assisting his teammates and he averages less assists than Sengun.

Its funny after the facts I posted this is your response and its indicative of the base level intelligence of some of you idiots around here lol Thank you for proving my point about you.

 

I don't know how many times I've made a comment about how when Adams comes in to replace Sengun, the other team immediately scores a bunch in the key that they weren't scoring moments earlier.

It just goes to show people formed an opinion and will never deviate from it.

 

All this and remember he couldn’t get playing time with Silas

 

And the haters had all the excuses for Silas to do that. The very same posters who blame others for having excuses for Sengun’s poor performances, as if he has an obligation to play flawless all the time regardless of the circumstances.
