Why Alperen Şengün Is The Houston Rockets’ Future

The Houston Rockets have had a myriad of problems this year. They’ve had incredible ups and incredible downs. However, the Houston Rockets’ rookie, Alperen Sengun, has quickly emerged as a foundational piece for the franchise. His swift acclimation to the NBA shouldn’t have come as a surprise. He was the MVP of the Turkish League, widely considered the third-best professional league in the world, as an 18-year-old. His MVP campaign saw him average 19.2 points and 9.4 rebounds per game on 64.6-percent shooting in the Turkish League last year. The Rockets got him on a draft night steal of a trade for two future first-round picks after he was selected the 16th pick in the 2021 NBA draft by the Thunder. Houston absolutely loved the potential of the former Turkish Super League MVP which is why they negotiated with the Thunder to select Sengun for them.
