As the Houston Rockets attempt to mount a run at a championship with superstar-caliber scorer Kevin Durant on their roster, they will, somewhat ironically, need to lean on franchise center Alperen Sengun more than ever before in order to keep their offense humming.

Following an excellent offseason in which Sengun led his native Turkiye to the EuroBasket Final, he should be ready to take another major leap, showing the world why he is among the top tier of centers in the NBA.
