The Houston Rockets may not have center Nikola Jokic. But he is not that far away.
This is evidenced in Sengun’s impressive range.
Via ESPN: “Meanwhile, according to ESPN Research, Alpern Sengun has scored at least 10 points with 5 rebounds and 5 assists in every game, good for the seventh-longest streak to start a season since 1950.”

He’s shooting 49.0% from the floor, including 44.2% from 3-point range, and he’s also a career-best 74.3% from the foul line.
Sengun has been a part of some interesting Rockets lineups thanks to his versatility. They have been very big at times, with Sengun playing next to Steven Adams.

Houston doesn’t always have a true point guard on the floor, but with both Sengun and Amen Thompson, the Rockets integrate into their offense without any problems.
The 10-5-5 streak that Sengun is on isn’t the most important thing. But it’s also not hard to believe that this will continue for some time.
