I love it. Sengun has a mean streak where he looks slightly crazy when he gets riled up. Great to see he has that extra gear.
3rd in Kicked balls. Traditionally you'd think Dillon Brooks and Draymond would lead the league in this stat but it's usually Jokic, Luka and Baby Sabonis. 17 total kick ball violations. It resets the defense.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6264402/2025/04/10/nba-awards-mvp-rookie-all-defense-predictions/ All-NBA Second Team Stephen Curry, Golden State Warriors: Last time his scoring was this low was the 2014-15 season (not counting his five-game 2019-20 campaign). Anthony Edwards, Minnesota Timberwolves: Excels at both ends of the floor, and he turned into a deadly outside shooter. LeBron James, Los Angeles Lakers: Even if you eliminate the age factor, his play has been absurd, and his defense is back. Evan Mobley, Cleveland Cavaliers: I don’t think the Cavs would be nearly this good without the leap he took. Alperen Şengün, Houston Rockets: I feel like people are way too low on the season he’s had for the second-best team in the West. I think you might see guys like Jaren Jackson Jr. or Jalen Brunson find their way into the mix for the Second Team. I could see Karl-Anthony Towns getting the nod or maybe Tyrese Haliburton sneaking into the mix here. I think Curry, Edwards and LeBron are the locks. Mobley should be a lock. Şengün might get squeezed out because I don’t feel like enough people are talking about the season he’s had.
Him not winning DPOY is a basketball crime. There is no one including a healthy Wemby that is playing better defense than he is. I have never seen anything like this
