I can’t wait to play against him this week. » Alperen Sengun had checked November 28 in his diary, the date of the move of the Rockets on the floor of the Nuggets. Where the Turkish pivot was in a hurry to face Nikola Jokic. The two men had only crossed paths once last season. Back then, the 20-year-old was still just a rotation player.

Now a starter based in Texas, he didn’t want to miss the opportunity to show his progress to the Serb. The two men have in common a very developed sense of the game, especially in the quality of the pass. His teammate, Kevin Porter Jr, even nicknamed him “Baby Joker”.

It might sound weird to you, but I think the Rockets should play with him a little more, because their game is a little too static at times.
