Alperen Sengun

The Turkish big man's passing wizardry has become a Houston staple, and this dime was vintage Sengun. Operating from the high post, the center surveyed the floor before spotting Reed Sheppard cutting hard down the lane through traffic. Sengun delivered a perfectly weighted bounce pass that split two defenders and hit Sheppard in stride, setting up the rookie for a powerful running slam that brought Toyota Center to its feet. The crafty center finished with 14 points and 6 assists in the Rockets' narrow loss on November 21, 2025.
