Houston Rockets are preparing to give a new contract to Alperen Şengün. If he gets a max contract, Alperen can earn $225 million in 5 years. Alperen, who increased his statistics this season, deserves to receive a max contract. It's not easy to find such a good center. If he gets this contract, Alperen will make history in Turkish sports. The Turkish athlete will be the one who earns the most. And he's still very young. He has already become a player who will write his name in history.
He will likely get a max because he plays like their best player and he is still young, currently at 21 years old. It's true, NBA doesn't have a lot of good centers so the competition isn't that high. This season he is averaging 21.1 PPG, 9.3 rebounds, and 5.0 assists, these numbers showed he is an all around player, a big man who knows how to pass, create his offense and very hard working on defense and grabbing the ball.
We don't know if it could happen since it's just a speculation for now, but if it will happen, we should not be surprise as he had the best season in his NBA carreer so far.
It will happen, the kid deserves it. He works his way up to achieve the kind of level and intensity to consistently increase his stats . The Rockets better not going to make a mistake by not maximizing the opportunity to build a team around Sengun. One thing that's concerning about him currently is his injury. Everyone hopes it's nothing major that doesn't affect his performance when he fully recovers moving forward. I'm not familiar with some medical conditions and treatment, but a 3rd grade sprained ankle is not something as serious as a torn ACL. I think it's fine that he'll miss the remainder of the season as they only have very little to non chances on making the play-ins.
