\u2014 AlperenSengunAlways (@alPfann7) June 16, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n It looks like Sengun has been hitting the weight room. He’s certainly bulked up.<\/p>\n Alpi keeps working nonstop, on and off the court. \u2014 AlperenSengunAlways (@alPfann7) June 18, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n It also looks like Sengun has been working on his long range shot. Which has been needed.<\/p>\n Sengun’s biggest area of improvement is his outside shot. It’s a glaring need.<\/p>\n And it seemed like something that was prioritized and emphasized last offseason. We saw the Rockets center taking threes with confidence during Eurobasket last season, as he represented Turkey — his native country. <\/p>\n That seemed to carry over into the 2025-26 regular season as well. At least, at the onset. During Houston’s opening night game against the Oklahoma City Thunder, Sengun went 5-of-8 from deep, good for 62.5 percent.<\/p>\n After the Rockets’ first four games, Sengun had made 57.1 percent of his triples (while attempting 3.5 outside shots per night). Then, his outside shooting cratered. <\/p>\n Sengun made 32.4 percent of his threes in November (on 2.6 attempts), 6.7 percent of his threes in December (1.7 attempts), 23.5 percent of his threes in January (1.2 attempts), 25 percent from deep in February (1.3 attempts).<\/p>\n He did get back up to 37.5 percent from deep in MArch (on 1.7 attempts) but fared at just 12.5 percent from deep during the Rockets’ postseason series against the Los Angeles Lakers (on 1.3 attempts). If Sengun is able to develop any semblance of an outside shot, it would unlock his game and this Rockets’ offense.<\/p>\n
And apparently, that Rockets shirt is permanently attached to him (unfortunately \ud83d\ude05). pic.twitter.com\/RUZ0O0UXs2<\/a><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.minutemediacdn.com\/platform\/google_discover_icon.svg\"){kind=icon}
