Alperen Sengun has looked impressive in Summer League action with the Houston Rockets. So far, Rafael Stone made the right move by trading up for Segun at the 16th pick. Sengun has proven his versatility on offense and defense as a 6’10” center. While playing in the Turkish league, Sengun won MVP at 18-years-old. Rockets Summer League coach Will Weaver gave credit to Sengun’s professional experience in the Turkish league. Weaver said:
“Both Jalen and Alperen’s experience makes such a difference. These aren’t their first professional games.”
Out of my curiosity, I wondered if Sengun was good at defense, but in the last two games, he has proven the ability to have active hands and great feet.
