As a houston fan, drafting him was the only thing that kept me sane that year. I watched highlights and breakdowns of him dominating adults and winning mvp in a pro league at 18. Knew he’d be big then. Absolute steal in the draft for us. He is so fun to watch.
Yup, I've read there was a basketball page at that time that put Alpi at number 1 on their mock draft and they became a laughing stock. I guess we all know who's laughing now. I just forgot what basketball page that was.👀
I am from The Netherlands Europe and I set my alarm just to Watch ALPI SENGUN he is really amazing and the best part is he is just getting started I LOVE WHAT I SEE FROM HIM ❤
I've been a Rockets fan since the late 1970s. I was a big NBA fan through the 1990s, but became a more casual fan with the style of play that started to take place in the 21st century. I have been completely tuned out on the Rockets for the past 3 seasons, but this team with Ime Udoka leading the direction on the bench, has me watching more games now than I have since Chris Paul was in Houston. It's an exciting, refreshing brand of basketball that is fun to watch and Sengun is easily the Rockets best player. This team has me hooked as a fan again.
Feel the same way as you been a huge rockets fan since the 90s. This is the first season I’m watching every game again since the cp3 years. I might have to get season tickets again. Had them for Hardens whole career in houston. Have them up after the year he was traded it’s been a rough watch the past 3 years but I love the team love the coach and have grown to really appreciate what stone did when he signed FVV and brooks. Wasn’t sure about those acquisitions but stone nailed them.
It was a comment I expected, he played superior games against Sabonis and Valenciaunas. Coach Udoka saw his talent, footwork, intelligence and wanted him to play simpler, but we also love his crazy passes, his pick n' roll harmony with Van Fleet is great. This year Houston played with fight and heart, I still remember the last game. Good luck and greetings from Giresun. We love Alpi and are looking forward to the days when a legend will be born, it was very special for us to work with the legend Hakeem Olajuwan.
As if you didn't need any other evidence Silas was a train wreck as a coach.... His management of Sengun the last 2 years was a joke. He was ready to do this last year if Silas would have attempted to run the offensive more through him. I think he will be an all star this year and the pairing with Van Fleet in the pick n' roll is freaking beautiful.
I keep replaying in my head Silas throwing him under the bus over defense in that post game interview. A coach like that could never get the effort out of sengun we saw 4th quarter in that pelicans game.
This young Dude made me follow the Houston Rockets. Seriously this team is definitely Play off contender. Imagine Alpi works on his 3pointers. Watch the Rockets .
Houston Rockets are holding him back from his true greatness. If he was with ANY team that needs a center which is every team in the west except Denver. He makes a 30 ranked team into a 3rd ranked team. Imagine if he was on a top 5 rank team.@@josegarcia-xd6lt
He's the third best center currently. Wemby is a shot chucker with no post moves currently. AD stays hurt and is afraid of the paint on offense. There's Joker, Embiid, and then Sengun.
I don't know what did do herself on this summer but this year he seems huge on the court. Sabonis couldn't stand up against Alpi I've only seen Sabonis so helpless against Embiid and Jokic. Very impressive.
he growed 3 cm this summer. Also he used his mid range fadeaway shots frequently first time when he is on the national team this summer. I already saw that his midrange is coming.
History shows that if there is an MVP across the ocean being drafted, pick him as early as possible. European basketball is no joke and it takes a lot to be an MVP over here.
He is eager to learn and improve and he will be better in time..He grew up in a conservative town in Turkey in a conservative family so he will never have a star illnesses and will stay humble
You are so right on all the points you make in this video. The Rockets are a fun team to watch & Alpi is a shining star with the new coaching staff. This team never panics & never gives up until the game ending buzzer sounds. Alpi is very mature for his age & he is super smart. By his second year he was already talking to the press in English, with his translator on stand by. By the end of that second year, he didn't need the translator.
You know what the best part is. Houston is actually winning games. And not only winning, they're blowing out teams. We should give credit to Coach Udoka and FVV. They enabled this Houston. It's funny that Houston is 4th right now.
After year 1 i said his a future mvp year 2 muiti mvps now i think he will be top 15 all time 2 or 3 chips 3 mvps... love to come back and see where he got to
I don't know of another 240+ pounder with skills like that. You know what's wild. Because of ethnicity, people will likely compare him to Europeans. However, his SIZE & SKILL COMBO IS CLOSER TO 100% DEMARCUS COUSINS.
To be fair that 2021 draft didn't get things right in the top 10 or the top 15. So I'm not surprised many teams that could use a playmaking big missed out on Sengun.
As a Turkish fan, I was waiting for that much of a good performance from Furkan Korkmaz, but Alperen satisfied my expectation. He is a real deal. By the way you this is actually one of the best nba conteny on youtube 🎉 I just subscribed.
Wiseman is Class of 2023, so normally THIS would be his Rookie season. Just because someone enters college early doesn't mean they're supposed to get their Master's Degree in four years or they're a Bust. Kevon Looney had 7 seasons of XP & Development with the Warriors to Wiseman; he was SUPPOSED to be better than Wiseman. Wiseman IS A BUCKET, tho!! Wiseman consistently gets just over 1pt every 2 minutes, and PER 36 is 19 & 10.
Please stop the Jokic Alpi comparison .. Huge Alpi fan but he isnt jokic yet ... Yeah he is similar to jokic but i am starting to believe he will be better as jokic if he is improving on some of his skillsets ... but for now, nobody comes close to jokic imo
only 21 years old ......................................................................................................................................................................... he should be drafted top 3 in that year.

All wins were are at home, no away wins, I think for this season they wont reach the Playoffs but from next season they will def. Alpi has Allstar Potential, he has still a long way to go, but he is on the right direction.
If you’re comparing him with Arvydas Sabonis, you might be right but you don’t know basketball if you say this after comparing him with Domantas Sabonis.
Hey buddy.. Um, no offense but at 2:40 you said Sengun makes a pass to Jabari Smith Jr. “For the dunk.” Not sure if you don’t know what a dunk is but you might want to watch that again.

Rockets trade for him, OKC drafted him
acutaly it wasn trealy drafting . they trade him to houston. and your luck :)
I’m just glad we now have a coach that is utilizing him
This gem of a talent got drafted 16th… guess its time to laugh at NBA drafting system 😂😂😂
I am from The Netherlands Europe and I set my alarm just to Watch ALPI SENGUN he is really amazing and the best part is he is just getting started I LOVE WHAT I SEE FROM HIM ❤
Me too..i am from a.dam also
Je bent niet de enige✌
We genieten allemaaal 👏🏼🦅 Sengun is still 21 years old, he will get better and better with coach Udoka
Not many players can use both hands effectively. He can. It gives him an immense advantage.

Dude is nice. His defense is already fairly impressive and he's only getting started.
Alpy has already outplayed Sabonis and Valencunis recently!
Sabonis twice
Tonight is the big test. They play Denver. If Sengun passes this test, Houston is genuine play-off contender.
broo, no team as good as nuggets right now. maybe 76ers and celtics. but it will be a good test for rockets for sure
@@Lougreth after tonight, the world will refer to Joker as Baby Alpy! 😂😂😂

Sengun would have been a legit contender for ROTY award if that war criminal of a coach had enabled him the same way as he did with Jalen.
This young Dude made me follow the Houston Rockets. Seriously this team is definitely Play off contender. Imagine Alpi works on his 3pointers. Watch the Rockets .
Arent we all following rockets fır the same reason bro?
Im a rockets fan and I would say for the longest that sengun gonna be a superstar and everyone would laugh at me 🤷 loving what we doing
He does work on his 3s

@@nocap6000 no GM is taking Bam over Sengun. Not one, Riley included.
I don't know what did do herself on this summer but this year he seems huge on the court.
Sabonis couldn't stand up against Alpi I've only seen Sabonis so helpless against Embiid and Jokic. Very impressive.
He didn’t do anything special this summer, he played for Turkish national team as usual. It’s only coach effect, he was this good last year too.
@@demirgYup. Udoka came in and specifically said he’d use Sengun more than Silas did.
@@demirgwell I believe he also did grow an inch which is what I think the other guy was noticing
he growed 3 cm this summer. Also he used his mid range fadeaway shots frequently first time when he is on the national team this summer. I already saw that his midrange is coming.
very smart player with great court vision
Thank god OKC traded Sengun to HOU, just imagine Segun in OKC
History shows that if there is an MVP across the ocean being drafted, pick him as early as possible. European basketball is no joke and it takes a lot to be an MVP over here.
Everyone calls him baby Jokich - I thinks he's more big Bird - just need to develop that 3pt shot.
If he works on his 3 point shooting too he’ll be unstoppable. 💪 Really glad he fell all the way to 16th for HOU to draft him.
When you realize Alpi is younger than rookie Chet Holmgren
Absolutely love sengun he is by far my favorite player on my rockets 🚀
Beautiful to watch! I love all the teams that play through the high post a lot: Sacramento, Denver, Houston
You got a sub for the love especially putting him top 5.. I’m a Houstonian from Detroit and about to watch the Detroit vid
Henüz yolun başında..
Büyüdüğünü göreceğiz… ❤
I'm a Houston fan and I believe he'd improve this year, but not like this.👀
Alperen is fun to watch
They say he grew perhaps two inches since he was drafted. Surprising hops even though he doesn't catch a ton of lobs.
When european players come to NBA their physics and athletisim improve.The trainers are very good at in NBA
@@deryakuru6548maybe the trainers are better in the NBA but coaches are way better in Europe.. look at the IQ basketball of Jokic Doncic and Sengun.
AL P deserves AllStar this year!
ALPI IS our Turkish delight.... our country's proud❤❤❤❤😊
Didn’t know who he was when we drafted him but watching his overseas highlights, I was hooked.
Great future for Shangon....
As a fellow Turk I'm proudly watching him grow to become an all star and hopefully I'll see him as a superstar near future congratulations Alpi!!
Lol, your points are great! Are you a Houston fan?
@@ElizaAnne1987 yeah Houston is my top 5 team since Yao era but right now thanks to Alpi it's my second favorite team

After year 1 i said his a future mvp year 2 muiti mvps now i think he will be top 15 all time 2 or 3 chips 3 mvps... love to come back and see where he got to
It's just a lot of fun to watch him. he puts his heart and soul into it.
Great point. Hustling on the court brings all of your teammmates to a certain ambitious point
Paul SIlas? Calling a layup a dunk? Are you drunk? lol
at 21 years old he has soooo much potential
ALPİYİ BU SENE SEYRETMESI BÜYÜK KEYİF VERİYOR
ÇOK DAHA İYİ OLACAĞI KESİN VE DAHA İYİ TAKIMA GİTMESİ DE MUHTEMEL
BUNA İNANIYORUM
He's not near Jokic yet OFFENSIVELY, but he's better defensively (which ain't hard) and is definitely more athletic.
Very big and coordinated. BELOW THE RIM Defense.
ofcorse not . he is 4 years younger if im not wrong
@@Travel2EuropeUS he is 7 years younger than jokic
Defense is always harder than offense.
I don't know of another 240+ pounder with skills like that. You know what's wild. Because of ethnicity, people will likely compare him to Europeans.
However, his SIZE & SKILL COMBO IS CLOSER TO 100% DEMARCUS COUSINS.
Çok rahat çok profesyonel.
Hes way more athletic than Jokic
Zeka yetenek ve hırs işte Alpi bu
I am not a rockets fan but I watch their games just for shengun.
To be fair that 2021 draft didn't get things right in the top 10 or the top 15. So I'm not surprised many teams that could use a playmaking big missed out on Sengun.
Very excited for this team.
thank you for the video i enjoyed watching 😊😊
He will be best Turkish player all time
We loved Alperen from day 1. We call him "AL P"
Lol, same thing. Do you like this Houston team?
I love all Houston teams😁@@ElizaAnne1987
its kinda crazy how stephen silas would start christian wood over Sengun during the dark ages
Throwing Al p under the bus with his stupid imbecile grin. Dude has 0 IQ and has no winning genes.
AP on point
alperen kalıtelı pıyot
Did you Say Paul Silas😵
Very excited for the Rockets
same. Are you a Rockets fan?

Alpi he loves the basketball.We are proud of him
Hell yeah, Alpy is getting recognized! His primary weakness is his jumpshot (its little bit janky), but that can be worked on (like J-Kidd).
He is amazinggg
Imagine the Warriors picked him instead of WiseBust
Wrong draft, but they actually had TWO chances and picked Kuminga and Moody.
Couldve gone for even melo .instead of wiseman
Wiseman is Class of 2023, so normally THIS would be his Rookie season.

what would you say about him comparing to the only turkish basketball player with the nba ring, the only turkish all-star, the money man Mehmet Okur?
Hi is all stars🎉🎉
great player indeed!
Are you a Houston Rockets fan?
🇹🇷 our guyyy!
Every time I put him on my squad (sports betting) he comes thru
❤❤❤
why is his salary 3 million whereas other players hit up numbers such as 20 million per year
Soon fans will call Jokic "Baby Sengun". Jajajaja!
only 21 years old ......................................................................................................................................................................... he should be drafted top 3 in that year.
To night jokic vs baby jokic big man the power
I want to watch him Allstars.

nice video but lots of game videos from last year.
thanks for the cover...
Really hope we never trade him

yesss Alperen Şengün
An all star....loading.
His initials are A and Ş not A nd S. S is pronounced as 'Se' and Ş is more like 'sch'
I’m not a Turkish linguistics professor. Just enjoy the joke :)
He is amazaing like a guard
Gurur🇹🇷
Who Silas?
I wish Sengün would meet Houston legend Hakeem the Dream one day.
Alpyyy
2:40 So that's a dunk for you lol
4:36 Paul Silas? You mean Stephen Silas, his son
Really?
All wins were are at home, no away wins, I think for this season they wont reach the Playoffs but from next season they will def.
Alpi has Allstar Potential, he has still a long way to go, but he is on the right direction.
ŞenGoat
Alperen Şengün is more pleasure to watch comparing to Jokic,Gasol and Sabonis.They are unable to dunk like Şengün.
TURKS ARE WOLFS, you can be the unicorn. Loll
If you look at him close enough he looks like one too
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Everyone's a unicorn now 🤣🤣 Kinda defeats the purpose of it
Poor man’s Sabonis
sabonis is poor man's Sengun atm
He destroyed Sabonis in two games this year.
Check their stats against each other this year, Houston played twice against Sac lately and Sengun absolutely destroyed Sabonis
If you’re comparing him with Arvydas Sabonis, you might be right but you don’t know basketball if you say this after comparing him with Domantas Sabonis.
Demirg been watching basketball since the 90s sit your young a$$ down boy no more about basketball than you ever will KID
Just checked Jokic’s draft pickup no.
41
