What's The Deal With Alperen Sengun?

Just how good is Alperen Sengun?

[hazorg]

Rockets had a top 5 defense in the league with him before he went off with injury. He is not a defensive liability, he is just not as flashy as he is on offense. He'll shut haters up AGAIN like he did since he got in the league.

[reezySZN]

Just a little bit of research would have let you know that the Rockets didn't offer Sengun or Jalen Green a max contract because if HOU declines the FVV team option next offseason and they don’t extend Green/Sengun now… they can possibly have $30 million in 2025 cap space… and THEN extend Green/Sengun after.

Disrespect of nearly half of Houston fans and media is unbelievable..

Nearly all match beat the best of other teams.. Dominate the court..

Play against Double teamed defense..

Wasted asists, hundreds..

Take responsibility, in all offense last seconds and end of the game..
( Not play for statistics)

Defense the rim nearly lonely..

U r Stil 21 and..
20+ points
10+ rebounds
Reality 7+ asists

+7 percentage three point, Free throw and Block make him the best of NBA..

How can u critisize him ..

Last two years Sengun's salary
% 20 of what he deserves..
Give him the max..

Remember Sengun do all against
Managers, fans and media..
Give some respect to him..

He's the truth. Made me fall in love with basketball again I've lived in houston all my life seen Hakeem win rings, Tmac and Yao in the mid 2000s Skip to my lou 😂 and even a bit of young harden. But this dude has revived my love for the game and I went to pretty much all but the last few rockets home games this year. And this man Alperen has been nothing short of amazing Hurt to see him get injured but if he can lock in this offseason upgrade his rim protection he'll for sure be a top 20 player in the league sooner or later

The only reason the rockets haven’t extended him yet is because they’re waiting until next year to do so. If they wait until next year it doesn’t matter how much they extend him for, they’ll have a cap hold that will allow them to sign a max FA. It’s what Philly did with Maxey that allowed them to sign PG

[AltugCakmur]

Guys can you imagine next season Alpi is playing for Dallas alongside with Luka, Klay and Kyrie? What a team it would be…

[torisven]

If he's extended after the season it helps the Rockets cap situation so they can go big game hunting. Rockets love the player and want to put stars around him. It's that simple.

The positivity of your channel is refreshing amongst so many other negative NBA spaces in the media (not just social media!). It's an easy watch and a big breath of fresh air every time I watch your videos. Honestly, coming across your videos late in 2023 were one of the biggest reasons I became such a huge fan of the NBA, your ability to hype up players and their positives are unmatched, on any platform. Seriously

[MrKaiowa]

I understand Hou offer a max contract to Sengun and Jalen when FVV goes off next year. On the other hand, imagine you are Alpi and you proved yourself with all-star performance. You even had an injury. What if you will have another injury again in this season? Maybe a big one? Hou would sign for a max contract with you? Hell no. Alpi will earn half the salary of Sheppard this season and Hou expects him to play again like an all-star. But its not about money its the value you have for Hou. They basically tell you, to take all the risks but we will not take any risk for you.

If the Rockets let Sengun go then that would be the end of my love for the team

[trashcangus]

Spurs drafted Primo over him. I cry about it every day lol

[lactobacillusacidophilus]

This season with Reed, I think Rockets have a lot of potential. Rockets and Alpi need a reliable shooter and Reed is that person. I am really excited. Alpi probably will improve his defensive skills in the future and we will see an amazing Rockets with him, Amen, Cam and Reed.

[hanijamil]

Man.. everyone making videos on this situation while being totally oblivious that the Rockets financially benefit from offering him a max NEXT summer (aka getting another max slot)

[PetarZorić-kb]

His game is beautiful, he deserves being compared to Joker, hope he gets well soon.

[eduardodiaz]

Rockets fans have no questions about sengun that dude can ball

[darkprofile]

Rockets shot awful from 3pts line. Alpi gave hundreds of open assists to 3pts shooters and they were mostly wasted. When they could made half of the wasted 3pts shots Rockets could made it to the playoffs. When Alpi was injured they played against weak teams and they made the 3pts shots.

[IgorBarduco]

Rockets have one of the best young cores in my opinion.
Sengun, Green, Jabari, Amen, Whitmore, Tari Eason and now Reed Sheppard.
I know somebody will be traded, because the Rockets can't pay all of them, and neither play all of them, but individually, I really enjoy watching each one of them.

[williamdavis]

This video didn’t really address why the Rockets didn’t give Al P the extension.

Hint it has nothing to do with how they view him or his future with the club. It’s a salary cap thing coupled with his low cap hold due to his draft selection position.

He is going to get his money, just 1 year later.
Jalen Green is the one the front office isn’t sure about.

[clumeroo]

Adding Reed Sheppard to this group is going to be fun!

[gmoney]

I’m a Mavs fan so you can guess my favorite player lol. But I always cheer for Texas teams. And ALL of 3 team’s futures look incredibly bright. Do you guys think Cleveland would trade Mobley for Sengun straight up? If that’s what they’re saying… he slows down the offense, not a good rim protector. Mobley would be a player that would fit that play style a bit more I guess. Cleveland would pull the trigger on that with no hesitation lol. First of all, he’s not a defensive liability. Second of all he’s athletic. He’s not the best rim protector, but he’s not bad, and that’s what Smith Jr. is supposed to be there for anyways. He doesn’t clog the paint either. He’s operating at the top of the key and the elbow all the time. Well if the Rockets won’t pay him max money… someone will lol. If Rockets fan want this to happen can you tell them to call Mark Cuban? Please 🙏🏼
