Alperen Sengun Taking 'Big Step' Since Start of Season, Says Aaron Holiday

"He had a big step from earlier in the year to now," Aaron Holiday said via HoopsHype. "He continues to get better. Ime’s coaching and the veterans are trying to help him as well. I think he’s almost unstoppable in the post. When he takes his time, faces up and takes his time, he’s pretty much unstoppable. He can pass really well, too. I think he’s just playing in a good flow. He knows when to kick and when to post up and take it to the basket. He uses pump fakes, too. He’s an intelligent player. Having guys like me, Fred and Jalen around him to shoot helps space the floor for him."

With the introduction of new coach Ime Udoka, Sengun's potential is more than just that ... he's actively winning games for the Rockets.

While he still isn't a finished product, he's only 21 years old and there's hope that he is only going to continue this upward trajectory.

Sengun and the Rockets are back in action at home tonight when they take on Chet Holmgren and the Oklahoma City Thunder. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CT.
