    He dictated the game, just like all nba all-stars..

    Say welcome to your franchise player in Sengun, Rockets fans..

    Not to mention he had a a great block and steal down the stretch that played a role in securing the game.

    League over? Come on man, he’s an NBA playing against Ukraine. Happy he did well but he should put up good numbers against a team like this.

  4. Sengun plays as a PF for Turkish national team (Yurtseven plays as the C), that’s why his rebound numbers are low. I watched the whole game, positives are he really seems bulked and he upped his defence (both perimeter and inside). He also practiced his FT’s apperently. He didn’t have much chance to set up offense (I believe it was the coaches decision) himself. But his 3 point shots are still sub par.

    Sengun did what Houston fans have wanted from him back. OFC this is international match but still competitive for olympics.

    This way of growing really hopeful. We will probably see him against Croatia in final. Croatia has Zubac and Saric. Slightly better than Ukraine. And probably Turkey will win. And Al P gonna be MVP of this FIBA tournament too.

    If Sengun keeps hittin 3’s and one legged fadeaways this actually makes it possible for him to play with another anchor big. He has super quick hands and good sense, he would bother 4s and wings to death.

    A consistent three and its over ! thats when Jokic became unstoppable. Fadeaway is looking great though, that’s all he needs now for another jump

    I was at the game. It felt like he was playing as a veteran in a summer league game.

    One thing is for sure that he is adored by the fans. Everybody there knows he is special and he delivers. Whenever he comes back on the court or his name is announced there is a huge roar. He had to go to the other side of the court with Mehmet Okur before the game to practice because pre teens were harassing so hard him to get a picture with him 🙂 Jokic is his idol and he will be an idol for a lot of kids.
