Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun could warrant All-Star consideration.
Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun is one of the best young big men in the NBA, and he could be taking things to the next level.
Sengun flirted with All-Star consideration in the middle of last season, but he ultimately missed out in favor of veterans Karl-Anthony Towns and Anthony Davis . However, Bleacher Report writer Grant Hughes believes Sengun has the ability to make the roster this season. "Şengün projects to be the fulcrum of the Houston Rockets offense again this season. Surrounded by young talent with great odds of improving, the skillful-yet-physical big man might lose a point or two off the 21.1 he averaged last year. But that could be offset by an even bigger spike in assists," Hughes writes.
The first All-Star team is the hardest one to make, and Sengun's status will likely be determined on where the Rockets are in the standings. The better Houston does in the first half of the season, the more likely Sengun is representing the team in San Francisco at the All-Star Game in February.Jeremy Brener is an editor, writer and social media manager for several Fan Nation websites.
