It's the system that gives each players that same chances to showcase their talents, lucky for Alperen that he's being sorrounded by players who can work with the system and a coach who really knows how to execute their design plays, I agree with you he's a superstar in the making, just need to take care of his health and hopefully not to suffer to any major injury, there are many opportunities if he continue to play harder.
This team is not expected to play like how they played this season. I think they'll improve more in the seasons to come. They are still young with an experience coach who promotes better team play than individual game, I would no be surprise if next season or the next, this team will become a playoff contender. They have a good PG, and this guy Brooks brings a lot of energy to the team, if they keep themselves healthy, they'll be able to help this team to grow.
I agree. Having a veteran like Dillon Brooks will help a lot in improving these young players. Houston Rockets is a blooming team, they may not join this playoff season but who knows what they can do in the future. They still have a chance though if they can win in the play-in tournament.
That's why the Rockets gave him a good contract despite the bad publicity about him... And the Rockets are getting what they paid for, he might not be able to provide the offense consistently to the team but the kind of defense he is making and the energy he is bringing, it's enough to make this young team a tough team to play with.
Alperen Sengun! I love how that guy plays. He ain't selfish and he can make impossible plays too. Just watching his highlights will make one think he is an All-Star caliber. Well, he will be someday. They just need to polish all their skills as a team and I bet they will be fearsome in the future.
He is still young, all he needs to do is to deliver his skills and stay healthy. Time will come, he will become as the star player of the team, and of course he'll get a max contract. The rockets are not paying much on their players, I think the player with the biggest paycheck on the team was VanVleet, so maybe the salary cap is still not at max.
Alperen is making over $3 million this season. Big increase if it will happen.

The Suns, especially Kevin Durant was so hot in the first half that I thought it would be over in a blowout but the Nuggets pushed hard in both ends of the floor to take the lead. But KD made a three that put the game in overtime and that's where it ended even though they are Nurkic-less after fouling out in the 4th quarter. Still, that's one heck of a comeback from the Nuggets, could've been better if they won the game.
That game is very unpredictable, Nuggets were down big, they were able to comeback and even lead but the game went to OT. During OT, I was thinking they'll continue their momentum but turns out they ended losing in double figures.
. They are on the roll early, and just like what they did to the previous champion Warriors, they put on a offensive barrage. However, the Cavs are on a different mindset, brother Kelce's are watching and so they have to do something about this game and turn it around.
