Houston Rockets fans can't wait to watch Alperen Sengun in 2025-26. Luckily, they don't have to - Sengun is preparing to represent Turkey in the upcoming EuroBasket tournament.
Astute fans know he's already played. Granted, those were friendly games. Sengun saw limited playing time as his team warmed up. It seems Turkey's coaching staff used the exhibition games to find minutes for some of their less seasoned talent.
In their last game, they changed gears. Sengun had a game-high 25 points in Turkey's win over Lithuania. He looked like the star player Rockets fans have grown accustomed to.
