What is Alperen Sengun's ceiling? (alien.top)

His potential is obviously very high but do you think he can become a superstar player and the guy for the Rockets? Similar to how Shai is for OKC, Paolo for Orlando, Wemby for SA etc. Coming into the season, the Rockets didn't really have that type of alpha player but Sengun has seperated himself from guys like Jalen Green and Jabari Smith who, while good players, don't really have that ceiling that Sengun might have

Budget jokic that puts up 23, 9,5, 8 per game with worse shooting but more athleticism . Imo he's already better than sabonis at everything except physicality and rebounding (both improve with age).

He’s pretty tall, hopefully his ceilings are at least like 9 feet. How tall are his doorways? That’s the real question.

In between jokic and sabonis so basically embiid

His ceiling is a Mega Charizard Y

Sabonis 2.0

Sabonis but effective in the playoffs

[–] MAX--35@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

A slightly better sabonis. He won’t be effective in the playoffs

[–] mrwhite2323@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Sabonis level

[–] boydivision30@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

The stats point to Jokic.

[–] fallen_estarossa@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Jokic 2.0, which is basically Hartenstein

[–] Equivalent_Bet1519@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I’m just not very high on centers who don’t offer elite rim protection. Unless you’re like a top 5 offensive player of all time to mitigate it like Jokic

Feels like sabonis

[–] Relevant_Lunch_3848@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

i just feel like hes already a way more versatile scorer, like you have to double him in the post but i dont think he will ever rebound as well as sabonis, probably a wash long term on defense

Yes and anyone who thinks different literally has no basketball experience. I could see some nephews saying no tho, or it ‘depends’
