It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Alperen Sengün this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the Houston Rockets Center.
Should You Draft Alperen Sengün in Fantasy Basketball?
Alperen Sengun followed up his breakout 2023 campaign with another strong showing last season, establishing himself as one of the NBA’s most well-rounded bigs. He averaged roughly 20 points and a career high in boards (10.3).
His field-goal percentage dipped below 50 percent for the first time, but his playmaking and consistency kept him among fantasy’s top centers. Durable and versatile, Sengun has missed fewer than 20 games in every season of his career.
The Rockets traded away Dillon Brooks, Jalen Green, and Cam Whitmore while adding Kevin Durant, Dorian Finney-Smith, and Clint Capela. With Durant commanding defensive attention and Fred VanVleet sidelined by a torn ACL, Sengun should take on an even greater creation role. Though Capela and Steven Adams will absorb some of the physical workload inside, Sengun’s vision and passing will remain central to Houston’s offense.
Entering Year 5, Sengun’s growth trajectory resembles that of an all-around star. He’s coming off his first All-Star appearance, continued to improve as a facilitator, and remains a nightly double-double threat with elite upside in points leagues. Surrounded by better spacing and proven talent, he’s poised for another leap.
