Checking in on the Rockets, they've gotten back on track and remain at the top of the Western Conference standings. They've been led by Alperen Sengun. He's clearly their best player, and he's the true best candidate to be Victor Wembanyama's rival. Chet Holmgren may be tall and skinny; Wemby may not like him, if you believe recent reports, but there's a clear choice between him and Sengun.
Holmgren just isn't on Wemby's level
San Antonio's franchise star is averaging 26 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, and nearly four blocks a game. He's the number one option on an emerging contender and touted as an eventual all-time great.
