I think fans on here overvalue Sengun. He's a good player but he has to have a team built around him to maximize his talents. Same for Amen and Giannas. The differrnce between Sengun and those players are, they can effect the game on both ends..... Sengun can not. I've always said Sengun's comp is Sabonis. And although Sengun ppg is higher, Sabonis is a better 3pt shooter and rebounder, so it equals out. Alperen Şengün (Houston Rockets) [] Points: 20.4 PPG Rebounds: 8.9 RPG Assists: 6.2 APG Field Goal %: 51.9% [1] Domantas Sabonis (Sacramento Kings) [1] Points: 15.8 PPG Rebounds: 11.4 RPG Assists: 4.1 APG Field Goal %: 54.3% [1, 2] Career Head-to-Head History In their 10 direct career matchups against each other, they are statistically very similar: [1, 2] Şengün: Averages 17.8 PTS, 8.3 REB, and 6.9 AST Sabonis: Averages 17.5 PTS, 10.4 REB, and 6.8 SO, IF YOU WERE TO TRADE FOR OR TRADE AWAY SABONIS, HOW MUCH WILL YOU NET? Right now, Charolette is offering Bridges, Green and a future #1 pick. Basically cap fillers and a #1 pick....THAT'S IT Personally, if I were the Rockets I would target Josh Giddey, Jalen Smith and this yrs #15 pick for Sengun. Tiago Splitter coached Sengun while he was here and I think they have a relationship. This gives the Rockets a PG for the future and insurance in Jalen Smith in case Tari is asking for too much, plus a #1 this yr.
One very important difference between Sengun and Sabonis’ trade value: Sengun is on a much better contract. That’s a major factor in trade value. Age is another factor; Sengun is 7 yrs younger. Sengun should command a much better return.
