Houston Rockets consolidates its project: 5 years and 185 kilograms for Alperen Sengun

NBA Market: Houston Rockets has extended the contract of two of its big stars in just a few hours: first it was Jalen Green and now we can confirm that of Alperen Sengun, who has signed for 5 years in exchange for 185 million dollars (player option for the last season).

Last year, the 22-year-old Turkish player ended the season averaging 21.3 points, 9.3 rebounds, and 5 assists per game before injuring his ankle and stopping playing. Only Nikola Jokic, Joel Embiid, Julius Randle, and Giannis Antetokounmpo put up similar numbers last year. 

Jalen Green previously signed for 3 years and 106 million dollars. The new NBA rules made it more difficult for teams to sign players, and the Rockets are sending a clear message with these two renewals: we believe in this project. Thus, the tanking has definitively ended, and it is time for Ime Udoka and company to go for the ring.
