This article analyzes the offensive and defensive performance of Alperen Şengün, a young player from Turkey. He displayed a versatile skill set on the offensive end, including low-post offense, layup around the basket, and dribbling advancement. He also has great basketball IQ and passing skills. On the defensive end, he has a good sense of blocking and the ability to predict passing paths. However, he leaves something to be desired in pick-and-roll defense. It is hoped that he can reach the average data of 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists in the new season.
Before the start of the season, I should write more about today’s three players. After all, to be honest, there are too many players worthy of everyone’s attention. I just picked out a few players that I am relatively more interested in, so that everyone can In addition to watching football in the new football season, you can pay attention to some small points.

So without further ado, let’s get into today’s topic.
The one I want to analyze today is my favorite among the 2021 rookies. He is also one of the few players in the Rockets who have not been spoiled in recent years. He is from Turkey. This year There is also Alperen Şengün, who represents the Turkish national team in the FIBA World Cup and is the 16th pick in the first round of 2021.
Here we will also start with the pre-draft scouting report, two years of NBA playing records and performance in this year’s World Cup to see how Alperen Şengün can continue to evolve in the new season with the talented Rockets. I personally think he is very good. There is hope that he can average 20 points, 10 rebounds and 5 assists next season, so let’s analyze his possible performance from a technical perspective.
Offensive end
Here are his NBA data:
Alperen Şengün NBA STATS MP PTS REB AST STL BLK FG% 3P% FT% 21 – 22 20.7 9.6 5.5 2.6 0.8 0.9 47.4% 24.8% 71.1% 22 – 23 28.9 14.8 9.0 3.9 0.9 0.9 55.3% 33.3% 71.5% TOTAL 24.9 12.3 7.3 3.2 0.9 0.9 52.2% 27.6% 71.3%
First of all, on the offensive end, he fully possesses the all-round skill package that a modern center must have to survive, and it is not unreasonable for Şengün to be called a weakened version of Jokic. In terms of offensive methods, whether it is low steps in the penalty area, around the basket His shooting touch, he can even dribble forward after grabbing rebounds, and his long-distance shooting ability. He can basically take over all the jobs from positions 1 to 5. At the same time, he has a very high basketball IQ. , coupled with good court space interpretation and passing skills, he can use high throws or floor passes depending on the defender’s position, allowing him to become the tactical centerpiece of the Rockets’ high-post offense when the Rockets do not have a regular organizational guard. It can be said that The Rockets’ 5-out is largely due to his presence. After adding Fred VanVleet in the new season, the space on the back line can be wider and the outside line can be more accurate. I think the Rockets’ offensive firepower will be one of the points that every team needs to be careful about.

Let’s go back to the center’s main attack in the paint area. Şengün especially likes to turn around and attack the basket after getting the ball in the low post. Basically, he can operate from both left and right sides. In addition, he has a habit of, I don’t know. Have you noticed that his standing posture is not that his center of gravity is too high or anything, but that he is very used to straightening his back, which makes his running look quite strange, but it is ugly anyway, like this His posture makes him difficult to defend in the low post, because it is difficult to grasp where his center of gravity is, and then he can attack and pass when he turns in. The defender simply does not know where to defend, which also causes him to be extremely difficult in the paint area. threatening.
Next is his most underestimated athletic ability. Although he looks like Marcin Gortat’s big fat pillar in the penalty area, he is actually fast enough to switch offense and defense. Needless to say, he definitely has the confrontational ability because of his size, but the most let down What surprised me was the ability to jump and stay in the air. It’s not unusual for such a tall figure to have excellent jumping. A bunch of physical monsters in the NBA are already used to it. It’s the fact that a tall European like him has the ability to challenge the basket when encountering confrontations in the air. He has the ability to stay in the air, has the touch to release the basket, and can dunk hard after encountering confrontation. He has a skill that makes it difficult to defend in the penalty area, but he has both.
But after talking about so many advantages, I always have to find faults. I think there is room for improvement in the stability of the outside. After two seasons, the three-point shooting rate is only 27.6%, although it has increased from 24.8% in the first season. Last season’s 33.3%, I can shoot, but with such a shooting rate, the opponent can leave gaps and the fault tolerance rate is much higher. Especially when it pulls the opponent’s defensive formation, it will allow the opponent to shrink in a little. For the Rockets who need space to play 5-out There will be hidden worries, so how to stabilize the perimeter to around 35% in the new season will be the key to whether he can rise to the next level again.
