Houston Rockets’ Alperen Sengun is hailed as the best player by teammate Furkan Korkmaz, surpassing former MVP Joel Embiid.
Ahead of the EuroBasket tournament, Sengun’s prowess is turning heads. Korkmaz’s bold statement pits Sengun above the likes of Joel Embiid and Jimmy Butler, as they aim for glory in their national colors. Turkey’s journey to the EuroBasket semifinals sets the stage for a showdown with the Antetokounmpo brothers’ Greek squad, promising a clash of titans.
With a revamped roster featuring Kevin Durant, Dorian Finney-Smith, Clint Capela, and Josh Okogie, Houston is primed for success. Sengun leads a talented group including Amen Thompson, Jabari Smith Jr., Tari Eason, Reed Sheppard, and veteran Fred VanVleet. The Rockets’ impressive 52-30 record last season, securing the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference, sets high expectations for the upcoming campaign.
