Alperen Sengun just put up numbers that no center in history has done before against Wemby. At the same time he held Wemby to 10 points. Every once in a while somebody really exposes Wemby for being young and thin. Tonight was one of those nights. Wemby is still having a hell of a year though and my pick for rookie of the year.
Alperen Sengun said it himself actually: He said Wemby is too tall but not strong yet. He was able to use his shoulders and got around Wemby. And when Spurs didn't double team him, he could score this great. This season, opponents of Rockets usually double teams Alperen Sengun but Popovich chose not to do that and paid for this mistake handsomely. Wemby could block couple of his shots but Alperen was much better overall. And Alperen is still so young. Only 21 years and 220 days. He is actually almost 2 months younger than Chet Holmgren.
