Dear Sengun Be temporarily selfish. Keep shooting like your teammates, even when you're 0 for 3 or 25% FG. Because the help you give to team, the passes you make, are not important compared to the number of points scored. Silas will sentence you to 20 minutes immediately.
This beautiful photo reminds me of this: In his rookie year, Sengun called the referees "ref." At Minnessota game, Kyle Anderson and Rudy Gobert, warned him. They taught him that referees don't like it and that he should learn their names and call them by their names.
Top 10 Performers in the NBA,
Player Impact Estimate/Plus-Minus Chart(22.11.2023)

Sengun is one of best in the NBA in Offensive Rebounder. Also, with an exquisite 62% TrueShooting, Centre is one of the NBA's best at converting missed shots into second chance points.
And Houston keeps this gem on the bench as team enters final minutes of the game defeated. 🤦🏻
Wondering who the NBA's elite offensive rebounders are this year?
From our Headshots & Scatter Plots Tool:
⬆️ Elite at rebounding their own misses
⬇️ Not getting self ORebs
➡️ Elite offensive rebounding volume
⬅️ Rarely generating ORebs
Who stands out?

@redpillbluepi12
Sengun should go to a team that doesn't have a point guard and play the way Jokic is played. The funny thing is, Houston is a team that doesn't have a point guard.
Houston Rockets in bad shape.Winning games is deceptive.Despite wins, offensive % is dropping every day.If you don't find solution for players who play with terrible %'s, you won't always face team like Memphis that plays with bench players and getting crushed will be inevitable.
Sengun, who became MVP at the age of 18 while playing in a weak team in the strongest league in EU, continues to be our pride. Playing at the level of Embiid and Antony Davis in Player Efficiency Rating,
@alperennsengun
shines right behind Jokic when we look at True Shooting %.
Either Silas really doesn't know basketball at all, or Silas knows basketball very well, he is selling games by saying that if team play through Sengun, we can win games and we can't get Wenby.
"What? You have a 66% FG%?! Then sit on the bench!"
They're playing Sengun in a way that kills all his skills. He's just an ordinary Rollman! He doesn't receive passes in the paint,he's tasked with receiving and passing the elbow pass. He has nothing to do with the offensive funnel. It's a stupid tactic to kill all Jokic's skills.
As the 2024 approaches, let's look to the future. The best NBA players 22 and under. Houston Rockets looks like the team with the brightest future. Because has the most PIE>10 players (4) (Tari,Bari,JG+) and the best player:
@alperennsengun
Sengun has taken another important step in the NBA. Scoring 35+ points and carrying the team in clutch time to win the game. Only the players who can do this are seen and respected as stars in the NBA.
Sengun is now an All-Star and has started his long journey to become the MVP.
@BinkleyHoops
Nobody can take a summer vacation and after it go from 357 to 7. As we kept saying last year to those who said "but Sengun's defense..." the team's defense was terrible. We owe this rise to Udoka and coaches, the veterans, teammates and Sengun's intelligence.
Instead of making Sengun, who has such passing ability, an offensive hub as Jokic and distributing passes, make him an ordinary rollman. are you crazy Silas? 🤦
Sengun's last three games:
19 PTS - 16 RBT - 7 AST
24 PTS -12 RBT - 6 AST
33 PTS -15 RBT - 6 AST
He is doing it on a team with the worst offensive stats in the NBA. This means that even on an NBA team with average stats, Sengun would have a triple double every game.
Alperen Sengun is one of the 20 best players in the NBA and the first among players his age. He definitely deserves to be an All Star. Let's vote for him:
1/4
In the Houston Rockets offensive strategy, coaches must stop using the excuse that players are young and inexperienced.
Example: If you're 2nd in the NBA in P&R in how often you get your Ball Handler to take a shot, but 29th in how often that shot goes in, stop doing it!
Silas, you're not fair!
Jabbari 58% FG, 3 AST, 33 min
Kenyon 57% FG, 1 AST, 29 min
KPJ 38.5% FG, 4 AST, 31 min
JG 35.3% FG, 4 AST, 38 min
Sengun 66.7% FG!, 7 AST!, 26 min!
And it's not the first.
We don't trust you anymore.
This is exactly what Jokic is talking about,the kind of aimless, stupid Houston offense we're bored of seeing every attack:
"I think Houston SHOULD play through Sengun more.Because sometimes they seem too STAGNANT as a team.Especially when they FOCUS on SHOOTİNG a lot of THRESS."
Sengun, we are proud of you again. You played with All Star level effiency again. However, as long as this team plays with individual forced shots rather than sharing the ball and creating easy shooting positions, they cannot win a game.
@alperennsengun
Even if Sengun plays at All Star level, the toxic retarded Houston commentators who say "but his defense is not as good as Gobert, he should play with the 2nd unit" should take a basketball lesson from MVP. Here is what Jokic said after the game about Sengun and Houston:
Sengun alone with Banchero under the rim, begged for a pass, JG didn't throw, gave the ball to KPJ, Sengun continued to beg, flapping his arms, KPJ didn't throw, decided to dive, ate the block, spin attack scored plenty. A Houston classic.
About Sengun
Giannis: Sky is limit for him.
Jokic: Houston should play through him because only he makes the game dynamic in Houston.
Silas: You can play max 75% of the minutes of my main players JG and KPJ, if there is clutch time you are definitely on the bench.
Sengun is the best young player among Sophomores and Rookies. 4 big overall stats show this very clearly: PER, Box PM, VORP, Win Shares. In order Sengun 1.2.1.3., Kessler 2.1.3.2. Mobley 3.3.2.1. Overall the best is:

@alperennsengun
💪
Yesterday's match was the victory of the fans who have been fighting with ridiculous excuses for months Sengun to play in 1st unit, to be an Offensive Hub and to get 30 minutes. Sengun, with his great game, justified all these fans.
@alperennsengun
1/7 After the earthquake in Turkiye, I didn't feel like writing anything for a long time, but today I have to write this, it is a nice feeling not to have to defend
@alperennsengun
like in the past years. All those ridiculous, unfair accusations against Sengun are gone.
@KellyIko
@Rockets_Insider
@TheAthleticNBA
It is either stupidity, treason or being the hitman of those who are afraid to say it with their own mouth, to say that about player who has best offensive performance of team or even all NBA, while there are hundreds of bad performances that need to be talked about.
@HoustonRockets
Make Sengun the offensive hub. Let the team flow.

"I think he's really talented. Maybe it sounds strange, but I think they should play more on him. Because sometimes they look too static as a team. Especially when they focus on shooting a lot of threes. "
And all this is not a surprise for us, we said it two years ago when
@alperennsengun
came to the NBA. Because we watched how this kid became MVP at the age of 18 in Turkiye, the toughest league in Europe. He never embressed to us. We are proud of him.
Rockets move to 5-3 with their fifth straight win
Alperen Sengun put up 24 points on 11-of-15 with eight rebounds, three assists, two steals, and a block
The 21-year-old is averaging 19.0 PPG on 64% TS, 8.3 RPG, 6.1 APG, and 1.0 SPG
Strong early candidate for MIP

@BradeauxNBA
If this is true, if Sengun is being called a player who can only play on the bench of the Houston Rockets, I wish he would not play such a mentality under blind management and be traded as soon as possible.
@KellyIko
@NathanFogg1
Here are the defensive ratings of players in positions other than Centre. Here is KPJ, Green, Jabbari triangle. Why don't you dare to say that they should improve their defense or sit on the bench? Why are you talking about Sengun if you don't have the guts to talk about others?
@danielle_lerner
We are disgusted with the excuses being given for Sengun's non-playing. Now it's about not trusting Sengün's defense in Clutch. Let's look at the +/- in Clutch minutes only. Sengun +1.6, KPJ -0.1, JG -0.6, Bruno -2.0, Garuba -3.3.
That excuse is a lie too. Let's go next.
@Itamar_17_10
MoBamba hit Sengun after dunk. Result: Sengun dives immediately and 2PT score and +1 foul to MoBamba. For Sengun, revenge is not cold meal.
@BenDuBose
@redpillbluepi12
2/2 So, if you have an Offensive Center as Sengun quality and one of NBA top stats about it, you have to design your defense around him and stop blaming his defense for losing games when everyone else on the team is playing terrible defense.
All Alperen Sengun fans, the All Star voting has started, please vote and keep voting on the dates you will see below. Let everyone know that voting is open.
@alperennsengun
is done us proud, now it's our turn to do him proud:
@BradeauxNBA
I always say I like Christian Wood. He always supported Sengun. When Sengun made great passes that year (passes that were destroyed this year because they absurdly made him a rollman), Wood was one of the guys on the sidelines who jumped with joy.
"Sengun has set 744 ball screens for VanVleet, according to Second Spectrum tracking, 133 more than any other ball-screen combo in the league."
@johnschuhmann
Only Sengun's place in the team has been questioned. It was said that he should start on bench, now supposedly the starter but he gets 6th man minutes. And yet he's making NBA history. Our only wish now is that he gets out of Houston as soon as possible and goes to a fair team.
NBA players praise him. Fans want to see more of him. But is Alperen Şengün really a viable option long term as the offensive hub for Houston? Come join the discussion as we talk Sengun and the

@HoustonRockets
All the Alperen Sengun haters in the comments 🤣
A lot of NBA stars and coaches in a row called Sengun an All-Star. 💪
Rot with your jealousy losers, you don't understand basketball. 😭
Everyone knows how important player is Sengun except Silas and Houston management:
“Me personally, I think they need to build around number 28 (Sengun), JG and KPJ are franchise players also, but that dude is something serious. We had to game plan for him.” Anthony Edwards

1/2 Sengun doesn't play selfishly. He doesn't want to take every shot. He doesn't want to get every rebound, he pushes the opposing player in most rebounds and allows his friends to get rebounds easily. Try the opposite, Sengun...
@danielle_lerner
Let's also look at Clutch times Defensive Ratings to laugh at the stupidity of the excuse: WHAT? Sengun has the second best Defensive Rating after Eason?! Is he the best player on the team in Net Rating?
Seriously, we are sick and tired of the Sengun defense excuses.
@KellyIko
@NathanFogg1
Wanna skip the offense and just talk about defense? So start talking about the defensive performances of Matthews, Nix, Jabbari, Gordon, Jalen Green, Eric Gordon's etc. The defense is not made by one person or only by the Centres. Praise their defense or kick them off the bench
@BenDuBose
@redpillbluepi12
1/2 Sengun is humble. What people don't understand is this: Sengun's defense is enough for an offensive center. Jokic and Embiid's Rim Protection stats are on par or worse than Sengun. So...
2/2
Because Silas is your coach. You're not one of those players who plays other 30 minutes no matter what he does. Because Silas is not fair.
Let it be temporary. Because on a fair team, it's right to do as you did yesterday, not I advised.
We're proud of your character.
Guess who got the least minutes in the starting line-up of JG/KPJ/EG/Jabbari/Sengun? Question: Is there any other coach in the NBA who gives his best player as many minutes as the 6th man?

If there is a decent journalist in Houston, he/she should write an article about the injustices Sengun has suffered in Houston since the beginning of the season.
@cancan85_
@daywaaalker
@trcveneburi
In fact, his defence is not bad as they exaggerate. but it looks bad because the team is completely ignorant of defence. We have seen Bruno and Garuba, who they say have a good defence, in the last games. If you don't defend well as a team you can't defend anything on your own.
@RafaelStone12
, this is your responsibility. If you were going to treat Sengun like a stepchild, why did you draft him?
You should have let him play fair in Oklahoma.
Either Silas really doesn't know basketball at all, or Silas knows basketball very well, he is selling games by saying that if team play through Sengun, we can win games and we can't get Wenby.
"What? You have a 66% FG%?! Then sit on the bench!"
3/4
The team is STAGNANT. Instead of making Sengun a roll man and shutting down his passing game, give him the job of receiving passes in paint, distributing passes. And teach the team to play cut. Cut confuses opposing defence and Houston is of course one of worst team in NBA!

Stat Analysis Of Houston Rockets 22-23, October 30.
Player Effiency Rating
We see that Sengun, who is the most effective player, is played for very few minutes. While Kevin Porter Junior is effective at the NBA average level, other players are unfortunately below it.
