Alperen Sengun is the Rockets' franchise player

I rather be on the NBA.com pages than Shaqin a fool.
We got to hear Hollins recognize the Smitty right away. It took me a while. Rik Smits? No Steve Smith.

 

I’d love to get Sengun in a gym this summer and work off some of that dough. If he can trim down to lean muscle it would be really good for him. He’s so flexible, he needs to drop a little weight so he can be as quick as possible. I really hope we keep and develop Sengun. But mostly I hope Sengun is willing to work hard to get every edge he can.

 

Absolutely owning Jokic my goodness.

 

I like how he said he watches and studies Jokic so he knows all his moves lol

 

Always cool to see his postgame interviews. His English has come along pretty well. He’s played much better defensively lately, so I won’t give him **** for the next couple of days. SOF, don’t ruin this moment for me to praise this man

 

You gotta understand man when he wants to do defense really hard he can do really good defense. All his friends know he can do defense.

 

20 min bench player.

 

Sengun tries a bit more when he plays vs jokic

 

I've getting more sold on Sengun as the season goes on. I wasn't onboard with this "franchise player" thing, I thought Jalen Green was more likely to be The Guy, and I still don't know if I'm 100% there, but if Sengun's defense starts to come around so he's at least not a total liability, I do think he has a good chance to end up in multiple all-star games in the coming years. In any case, nice to have two guys with very high offensive potential and a third guy who projects to be an elite off-the-ball player (Jabari). Any GM would love to have any of these three young players.

 

Harden & Sengun 2-man pls. 2024 Champs let’s go

 

Against the Nuggets, it was seen that Sengun can defend quite satisfactorily when he wants to defend. The trouble is that he has to learn to defend well like this every game. Definitely he is not as black hole as Jokic on defense. How he spends this summer is very important. If he stabilizes his shot and defense, it's over.

 

When he gives a **** he is actually solid on defense. That's also true for Green. It's the consistency ting. We need a real coach who will make sure they keep hustling on defense. Silas is not a serious guy.

 

He's doing quite well for his first year as the starting center, one would b foolish to think he can't improve from it. I don't think he will b a defensive juggernaut but he won't b as bad as folks keep painting him as.

 

I've seen that play earlier and still bite that fake. Can't really blame defense.
