The recent Christian Wood has trade opened up the starting center spot for Alperen Sengun, but the Rockets still want to add more depth behind him, per Jonathan Feigen of the Houston Chronicle.
“The Rockets have begun assessing options from a deep class of free agent centers to determine plans for the position and free agency next month,” Feigen writes, citing a source who knows the team’s plans.
While showing considerable promise on offense, Sengun averaged 5.2 fouls per 36 minutes as a rookie. That may make center depth more important than some realize, since Houston may not feel confident in his ability to regularly absorb 30+ minutes per game at such a young age.
