Though the team is now 1-8 and on a five-game losing streak, the brightest spot of the 2022-23 season to date for the young Houston Rockets is the play of second-year center Alperen Sengun.
Thus far, the 6-foot-11 big man from Turkey is averaging 16.7 points (56.8% FG) and 10.3 rebounds in an extremely efficient 27.1 minutes per game, and he put up a season-high 26 points and 13 rebounds during Wednesday’s competitive loss to the Los Angeles Clippers.
