Why Sengun is NOT the Next Jokic

Why Sengun is NOT the Next Jokic

Alin shenon is not the next yic and here’s why em yoka the Rocket’s new head coach is mely utilizing shenon as a central hub for the offense this is allowing shingun to Showcase his full range of playmaking and scoring talents furthering the comparison before we dive into this comparison let’s break down

How udoka has Unleashed shanon’s Allstar potential and reveal a secret shenon users to score around the room with ease firstly shenon just like embiid yic and sabonis has become the Hub of the Houston Rockets offense offensive possessions are now initiated through shingun sh here the Rockets get into 21

Action a screen into a handoff which is used as a decoy to get van the ball man steals the under meaning shenon will perform a Twist a Twist is sitting the screen in the opposite direction but at the last second he performs a flip screen man is prepared to fight over

Going to the right therefore he is not ready to get attached when shinon flips it in the other direction he then catches it in the short roll which is the opposite of a long roll a long long roll is caught at the room usually straight into a finish compared to the

Short roll which is caught in the mid-range area shenon then immediately rips and dunks all over TI shes it Houston will also run split action entering the ball into shenon on the slot and having two guards screen for each other in this play Van vet back screens for Smith Jr and shingun

Beautifully times this pass ensuring he gets it over jokic’s length and passing it ahead so Smith junior can go straight into the finish the thing that is so impressive about Shen it say IQ at a young age although Murray is moving over to tag and take this layup away he knows

Murray is too small to handle Smith junr at the room he also places this Pass High to ensure Murray can’t swipe down and get the Steal This Time Houston run a flare screen off the split action Dylan Brooks screening for Jaylen green Gordon has to be ready to contain a Jaylen green curl

So Dylan expertly pops and shenon finds him for the open three if nothing is created out of their 21 or split action shingun is smart enough to keep the flow on on offense and move into a second side action in this play he pivots into a handoff Alama isn’t ready to get

Attached to green and notice how shingun rolls into Alama further bearing him underneath his screen leaving green wide open is still yes he is in these handoff situations shenon will often perform a keep a keep is when you fake the hand off into a drive shun here the Rockets get into their

Standard 21 action but shenon fakes the hand off to Brooks before exploding pass yic into the easy layup and one sh the foul the other huge positive of having the offense run through shenon is that he brings the big out although he needs to improve his three-point

Shooting which we will discuss soon bigs have to respect his jumper ad the biggest player on the court is forced all the way out to the three-point line so when Tate ducks in and seals the much smaller Austin Reeves underneath the basket there is no length or shop blocking behind Reeves although LeBron

Rotates over he just doesn’t have the same length and shot blocking ability as Anthony Davis so it’s pretty clear shingun is having an All-Star year this season and while the yic comparisons are warranted shingun will never be yic but before I discuss why let’s look at another area shingun is shining in

Remember how I mentioned the short roll before shingun might be one of the best short R players in the league shingun has a great mid-range game he is currently shooting 59% this season and scores with a variety of floaters jumpers and Fades in the short roll shun’s mid-range has to be respected

Therefore he uses little pump fakes like this one to get yic to lift out of his stance putting him off balance when shingun bumps into his chest for the Lefty hook a key secret out of the short roll catch is for the weak side corner

Player to cut to the basket as you can see Porter junor is in the weak side corner meaning it is his job to tag the roller and prevent shenon from having a wide open dunp therefore Smith junior Cuts behind mpj forcing kcp to move over to respect this cut leaving Jaylen green

Wide open shenon is aware of this so once he finally gathers the ball he looks at Green before dumping it off to Smith Jr for the wide open dunk in these short roll situations all shingun has to do is read the take two Defender holiday is the tagger so he

Moves over to prevent Shon from having an open look this means kcp will take two his job is to stand between green and Justin holiday’s brother Aaron and close out on the first pass I imagine the nuggets are following a scout here but it makes no sense to me why kcp

Would move closer to Green perhaps he wants to prevent Green from cutting but Aaron’s shooting 45% this season from three whilst green is only shooting 32% moving on if these passes aren’t available shenon possesses the ability to attack downhill in the short roll as well when he takes his final step he

Steps into yok’s frame bumping him with his shoulder to create space for the N1 this is known as a ve finish and it’s a great way to create space when attacking the basket speaking of this shingun is a somewhat capable isolation scorer as well here off the pop he uses

A pump fake to get valent chunis out before attacking and using a beautiful WRA behind the back into the dunk back for the shenon gets the ball late versus Lively and massively reads the paint like a guard realizing it’s clogged and that he has no chance of

Getting a layup so he just steps back and shoots over Lively with beautiful form and Arc it almost looks like a Luca step back speaking of his shooting let’s address the area shangu needs to develop while his form is beautiful and he’s had some okay three-point shooting nights

He’s only shooting 30% from three his percentage is enough to get bigs to respect him but he isn’t shooting at the level of yic who shot 46% last year in their playoff finals run as he gains more confidence throughout the season and his three-point percentage starts to rise it

Will be interesting to see how he attacks other bigs on the perimeter imagine a shenon who can do everything he does now but when needed can go and get a bucket just like embiid if this happens he can score in the long roll at the room playm in the short roll rocket

They play theames the league up to this point and attack your big on close outs and Pops literally unguardable combine this with this insane high IQ and ability to playmake and you have a championship centerpiece on your roster before we dive into why shenon is not the next yic

Let’s reveal the secret shenon uses around the basket the Rockets get shenon a post touch of the sideline out of Bounce PL shenon showcases his signature spin move before perfectly executing his secret for finishing around the basket notice how shingun throws a small fake before finishing just to see what

Happens this fake gets both jiren Jackson and kot to jump before showing another spin move into the easy finish Shon spin away in transition shenon attacks Lively downhill and again uses a Rondo fake faking the inside hand finish then I want you to notice how he

Uses his elbows to seal off Lively as he spins to ensure he can’t get back into the play as I play these two clips side by side can you figure out the secret shenon secret is using two feet and playing with patience almost all of his finishes around the basket are off 2

Feet allowing him to use a variety of pump fakes and pivots until he finds an opening now if you watched my Anthony Edwards video you would know exactly how I feel about player comparisons but instead of repeating myself let’s hear what Paul George said about shenon and

He’s got shades of Mark gaso he’s got shades of pal gaso he’s got shades of yic he’s got shades of like the great bigs that can pass that can shoot that can playmake he’s super super high IQ player like I I love his game PG says it perfectly there isn’t just one player

You can compare him to he shows shades of all the former and current great European bigs he has the IQ of yic and the fiery passion and intensity of the Gasol brothers he has the passing and playmaking ability of a sabonis and a developing isolation scoring bag like

Embid he has a fade away like Durk and the touch around the rim of hakee all of this combined makes shenon uniquely shenon whilst it’s easy to say baby yic this limits shingun to just being like yic who’s to say he won’t be better and instead why don’t we say shingun as a

Future MVP or championship winner that way we aren’t limiting him to just play like yic instead we smash the ceiling and allow him to flourish into the best version of himself who knows one day we might look back at a multiple championship winner Finals MVP level

Book what do you think do you think shingun could be an MVP and Championship level big man make sure you let me know below did you also know that 2K can help you develop into an NBA Allstar T’s H burden credits 2K for helping him develop his IQ and I break down exactly

How he makes these insane end this video here

Alperen Sengun is NOT the Next Nikola Jokic.

Ime Udoka has unleashed Sengun on the Houston Rockets, by changing his role to be the central hub of their offence. This has allowed Sengun to showcase his full range of playmaking and scoring talents, not just his beautiful post game.

But Sengun will never be Jokic.

In today’s video, we breakdown why this is the case, share a secret Sengun uses to never miss layups and breakdown exactly why Sengun is not the baby version of Jokic.
