All-Star Houston Rockets big man Alperen Sengun enjoyed a breakout season for the 52-30 squad last season. After agreeing to a five-season, $185 million contract extension just ahead of the 2024-25 season, Sengun helped turn the team’s fortunes around, returning Houston to its first playoffs since 2020. During EuroBasket so far this summer, however, the 23-year-old has been looking even more dominant for his native Turkey. On Friday, during a 92-78 blowout against Czechia, Sengun logged 23 points, 12 rebounds, and nine assists.
