What awaits Alperen Şengün in the NBA?
İsmail Şenol, BeIN SPORTS Basketball Programs Manager, talked about what awaits Alperen Şengün in the NBA. Şenol, who shared his personal social media account, used the following statements:
“For Alperen’s development, it doesn’t really matter where he was chosen from. In any case, he was expected to be somewhere between eight and 23. Without worrying about the slight drop, now it’s time to focus entirely on himself. I think the Houston Rockets are an advantage for him. His lack of English is an advantage for Alperen. The biggest obstacle in front of him. He solves that problem very easily in a year. It’s very good that he doesn’t have to show high performance in this cultural transition period. Houston is a team that has been restructured and they will give importance to development rather than winning or losing a game this year. Beşiktaş organization has a big share in the development it has shown in a year. There is a structure that will tolerate his mistakes on the field and they gave time. The technical team also sharpened some of his features with special training. Alperen also worked hard. Well done. A similar structure will be in Houston. Houston did not choose a tall man like Evan Mobley from the second row, Alperen and Garuba Alperen also won 53 Euroleague and 69 ACB matches with Real Madrid from Garuba. He has things to learn about professional life. This can also be an advantage. On the other hand, Alperen is an efficient player on offense when he has the ball in his hands. He goes to a team in Houston where shorts who love the ball like Jalen Green and John Wall are in the center. He has to adapt to this, especially in attack. They will also lose a lot of matches, concentration is important. I don’t think you will have any problems with the rebound. It makes a great contribution. He will need to improve his sideways movements especially in defense, or at least learn to live with it. Because he will play both against more athletic players and in a wider area. Alperen will also change a lot physically. The muscle mass in his body will increase, and as he gets stronger, he will begin to play more contact. But the biggest difference between here and the NBA is that it has to do it with individual training instead of being guided by the team. He will have time. As long as you want it. Going to the NBA at 19 as BSL’s most valuable player is a well-deserved success. After that, it requires even more work to be permanent. It is important to choose the people whom one believes and listens to well and surrender to them completely. Alperen achieves this. May the road be clear! I wouldn’t be comfortable if I didn’t make a small addition: Unfortunately, it doesn’t exist today, but congratulations to everyone who worked hard to discover, train and develop Alperen in the Bandırma organization, and to give their time in the A Team for the first time. Today is their day too.”
