Alperen Sengun might not be the best rim protector in the NBA, but he's easily the most underrated one
Of the top 50 players in rim DFGA last season, Alperen Sengun faced the most rim attempts and was still a quality shot-blocker

ESPN listed Reed Sheppard as the NBA’s most interesting sophomore to watch next season in its latest article
“Sheppard has the chance to be a huge swing factor in Houston’s title chase — in theory, he’s stepping into the perfect situation.”
Who else is hyped for Year 2 Reed?
Kevin Durant’s jumper is looking as smooth as it did before his offseason thumbs surgery 🔥
Durant said he would be ready to go for the regular season, and that looks to be true
(H/T @knawtnine)
Three of the 10 players who have an implied no-trade clause this season (the ability to veto a trade) are on the Rockets, per @HoopsRumors
Those three players are Fred VanVleet, Jae’Sean Tate, and Aaron Holiday, so expect them to stick around in Houston
Jabari Smith Jr said on a recent episode of the @OldManAndThree podcast that he wants to get better at playing physical
“There’s no reason I shouldn’t be trying to run through people (and) trying to attack. It’s just something I want to get better at.”
In ESPN’s recent “All-in tiers” article, the Rockets were put into the “all-in on an extended championship window” category
ESPN said the Rockets don’t “scream ‘extended window’” considering Durant’s age, but aren’t denying the talent of this group
Can’t wait to see Kevin Durant getting buckets in a Rockets jersey instead of against players in Rockets jerseys 🚀
The Rockets ranked 28th last year in two-point shooting at 51.6%, per @TeamRankings
In Kevin Durant, Houston is adding arguably one of the best two-point shooters in NBA history
Houston's two-point shooting is just one of the offensive areas Durant should instantly improve
Alperen Sengun said Houston’s roster is excited to play with Kevin Durant, per @anadoluajansi
“I’m excited to play with Durant. Everyone is excited to play with him. It doesn’t matter his age — ultimately, he’s Kevin Durant. I have no doubt he will bring a lot to the team.”
