They explore what the young ROCKETS center needs to elevate his game, from developing a consistent three-point shot to leveraging his underrated handle.

I actually enjoy seeing Alpi undervalued. This way he will stay hungry and be the underdog on matchups. He will always have the surprise factor wind on his back.
all nba list 16th what are they talking about
Hey Jackson Thank you for these great videos.I've been watching you since 3 years for Sengün and Rockets.Now it is even more fun to watch you talking about our national team.And I have to say your analyses regarding the Turkish Team and Europe Basket is so accurate.
Alperen gives the best answer to this situation with the game he plays
Locked on hosts are , you know not ranked top 50 themselves
Sounds like another Houston Rockets great…
Alperen was snubbed once for All-Star and then snubbed once for All-NBA. He's going to continue to get snubbed until they can't overlook him anymore.
I also think the Rockets need to market Alperen better. He should be doing meet and greets, podcast and radio appearances, etc.
If you ask Zubac, he wouldn't put himself in the top 50, but he's 39th, hahaha. I want whatever the person who compiled this list is smoking 😀😀
Sabonis rant made my day!
After Turkish-Serbia game Jokic is now Elderly Şengün . Now start to make Giannis Senior Şengün.
How on earth is Chet Holmgren ranked 30th? I honestly don’t get it. By what criteria would you claim Chet is better than Alperen? Chet couldn’t even compete with the Rockets’ starting five.
Sabonis 32, Fox 33. These two played together for years with 0 success. If they are that good why did Kings sucked for years?
Alpi 36 with Amen around 50, FVV lower and no Jalen. That team was 2nd seed. How?
Jamal Murray never an all star, only person I agree might be Bam
We have a saying if apprentice couldnt best the master the art will die. if we knew him a little bit he is surely aiming for number 1.
GOOD JOB JG
Even Mobley glaze is crazy. Bam is better than Mobley. Jaren is better than Mobley💀and I’m taking Sengun over both of those guys.
Got the end of the pod. I agree Wemby is too high on the list but y’all WILD for saying Sengun is better.
coz he is not from france u know what i mean
If Mobley is 16 then Sengun should be 15! Mobley is a 3rd option and is getting overrated even though he’s DPOY they weren’t a top defensive team
Ask yourself if u can trade 1 on 1 who u trade Alpi or Sabonis – Alpi or JJJ – Alpi or KAT Alpi or Who ?
Wemby,jokic,Davis and Joel when healthy are realistically only bigs better
The DPOY doing some heavy lifting for Even Mobley.
As for Wemby, can bro actually accomplish something meaningful before we start putting him top 10. Bro hasn’t even made the playoffs yet.
Like put my Rockets and beeing Turkish Bias aside.. Alp should be Top 20.
Madison is a bigger man than I am. I would never dare to talk about Alperen Sengun ever again if I said all that bullshit about him in his earlier years.
I dont understans why alpi needs shoot 3s to be top 10 player. If he shoots 40% 3pt and 50% middle, you dont compare him with chet or wemby or jokic. You will compare him with nonother than jordan in 10 years.
the question is wrong. The question should be which one of these big mans U want in your team and which one of these big mans have hall of fame potential. Then you will see Alpi's real ranking which should be top 5 big man in the league if u consider the realistic future potential.
Madison is right about Pascal vs Paolo big vs wing.
Sabonissss??? *in my Souljaboy voice
This List might be a Joke! Alpi will show this Season what kind of a player he is! You will see how many Triple Double he will do. Next year he will be save Top 20 Player!
