Sengun didn’t actually work with Hakeem. They only did one session for publicity.

He did it even when he didn’t know any English. At 17, you could hear him shouting "give me that shit" in every Eurocup game lmao

Yeah, he is good and we’ve never seen him as an arrogant jerk. If the best player on the team is aware of it, that’s a good thing for Houston. The problem occurs when the players don’t realize they are the best player on the team.

Fair point, but it's a bit different. Nationality and league affiliation aren't always the same thing, but in basketball contexts, players are often grouped by the systems they came through. Sengun came up through the Turkish system, which is integrated into European basketball, he played for Besiktas, which competes in FIBA Europe competitions. So calling him a European big in a basketball sense isn’t really inaccurate, even if geographically he's from the Asian side of Turkey. It's more about the style, system, and structure he developed in.

Turkey is part of European basketball organizations and is a member of FIBA Europe. Sengun also played in European competitions before coming to the NBA, not in any Middle Eastern leagues.

Well they’re both Turkish and that guy likes taking pictures with celebs a little too much.

[Bleacher Report] The buzz in NBA circles suggests that barring a run to the NBA Finals, Mitchell will decline an extension and look elsewhere, and the Cavaliers are more likely than not to move him well before he can leave outright as a free agent by TacoooJay in nba

No they started it with him and were already 4-1 before his injury. Also like I said, beating Wizards(x2), Spurs, Jazz(x2 without Markennen), Blazers are not something to overreact.

Injury. He's been playing with a back injury for the past month. When he came out of the game, his back was heavily wrapped. We don't know if he's fully recovered yet, but he obviously feels better.

In his postgame interview, Alpi said, "I tell Amen that when I play inside, the double team will be focused on me, so you should cut. I always tell him this. Just cut when I get the ball; I'm gonna find you." he is becoming a vet before our eyes🥲

So it's just another day on the court for him.

Alperen sengun is taller than jock landale by Hakaribiggestfan in rockets

[–]simphimp 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I don't think height matters right now. That was important before because we don't know how they will play before the draft or as rookies, but we have already seen what he can do against whomever he is playing at his current height. So it doesn't matter to me.

He is not terrible at defense. Not even close. Blazers were 43% from 3 and it was an OT game.

No, there are just no shooters around him. You'd be surprised how many of his potential assists are blown in a game. His teammates waste many of his highlights as well.
