The Houston Rockets just lost to the Denver Nuggets and have another game on tap with them tonight, so reigning MVP Nikola Jokic will have plenty of time getting and up-close and personal look at this young Houston team. After Monday night’s win over the Rockets, he had one interesting observation: the Rockets should play more through center Alperen Sengun.
Sengun has always said that he patterns his game around the two-time MVP Jokic, and you can see that influence in the way he handles himself in both the high and low post, but in particular, it’s Sengun’s passing that really makes the comparison apt.
