The Houston Rockets should be happy they signed Alperen Sengun to a contract extension.
The Houston Rockets are feeling giddy after signing Alperen Sengun to a five-year contract extension over the offseason.
While the contract doesn't go into effect until next season, Sengun is making the Rockets look really smart for signing him to a long-term deal."Şengün was, arguably, worth a max contract after putting up 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds and 5.0 assists a game last year, especially after Franz Wagner of the Orlando Magic got one with worse raw averages,".
So far this season, Sengun is averaging 18.7 points, 10.7 rebounds and 5.1 assists per game, which is admittedly slightly less than what he was doing last season, but he is also better on the defensive end of the floor, which makes him a more complete player.Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites.
