The Houston Rockets just lost to the Denver Nuggets and have another game on tap with them tonight, so reigning MVP Nikola Jokic will have plenty of time getting an up-close and personal look at this young Houston team. After Monday night’s win over the Rockets, he had one interesting observation: the Rockets should play more through center Alperen Sengun.
Sengun has always said that he patterns his game around the two-time MVP Jokic, and you can see that influence in the way he handles himself in both the high and low post, but in particular, it’s Sengun’s passing that really makes the comparison apt. Here’s what Jokic had to say:
“I think he’s very talented. It might sound weird, but I think they should play through him more. Because sometimes they seem too stagnant as a team. Especially when they focus on shooting a lot of threes.
“The man is talented. He can pass the ball, post up, has the touch and is a good finisher around the rim. You can see different moves when he is playing.”

Who is your favorite 1st rounder for the Rockets?
A.Sengun…
Victor Wembanyama if we're fortunate to draft number one overall I think we could start winning. Does AL P still have a roll power forward maybe IDK. The way our record is looking the chances of landing Victor are the best among the League.
There is no cure for an unimaginative coach. Silas tries to manage his talents by reducing them to mindless robots who are supposed to follow his game plan like a Soviet era coach. There is no room for talent in his team.
