Alperen Şengün

A 6-foot-9-inch center with a self-assisted alley-oop? Only players with Alperen Şengün's high-level ball and improvisational skills can pull off such a play. The Houston Rockets rookie shows off the handle by bringing the ball behind his legs with his left hand, then corrals his dribble as the defender hits the deck, and finally and instinctively throws it off the glass to himself leading to a crafty finish. Şengün had a well-rounded line of five points, three rebounds, three assists and three steals off the bench in a March 16, 2022 matchup with the Phoenix Suns.
