    It is not only about his teammates making shots. Obviously that's very important, but the Rockets are calling more set plays off him receiving the ball on the pocket. You can realize more off the ball screens, cuts, and less high p&r plays from Fred and Green. Kudos for the coaching staff, hopefully we can maintain it over time.

    Coincides with Rockets' 5 game win streak.

    Great game. Still need to see him doing again real competition. The Bulls are trash

    He could do it in game 7 of the NBA finals and you would still find some way to criticize him.

    If he can get that assist number to around 8+ he starts entering some really elite conversations.

    Only thing stopping him from that are his minutes and people like Bari bricking shot after shot.

    Looking at NBA.com, among players who are averaging 25+ mpg, Sengun is
    • 5th in PIE
    • 6th in Net RTG
    • 7th in DRTG
    • 6th in OREB%
    • 7th in DREB%
    He's truly become a two-way force.

    Are you sure? Somebody told me he can't defense and Rockets need a rim protector.

    This is crazy. Look at his impact vs. his touches/possessions.

    He could already be Jokic with better defense - if they just let him.

    Jokic with better defensive would put him in the top 3 best players ever pretty easily, realistically would put him above lbj and jordan this season as good as jokic has been

    Have any of the people who never liked Sengun (even since before he was drafted) because "archetype" acknowledged his improved defense yet?

    Like, at all?

    Updated On/Off stats (Tari a bit impacted by his "stinker" game against Chicago - I think he will bounce back big against Giannis!). Alpi still 90th percentile on defense; offense slowly catching up.
