The Houston Rockets have been running their offense through Alperen Sengun in 2025-26. Fans may think his usage has spiked, but actually, it's waned a bit over the last few years.
That's right. It's surprising. Sengun's 22.3 points and 6.9 assists per game are both comfortably career highs. One may assume that means Sengun is being used more often.
One would be wrong.
Rockets' Alperen Sengun has seen usage dip
It's been a trend for three seasons. This season, Sengun has a 25.8% Usage Rate. That's almost identical to last year's 25.9%, and a meaningful drop from 2023-24's 27.
