Has Alperen Şengün Been Even Better Since All-Star Weekend?
Şengün's efficiency skyrockets post-All-Star break. Discover how smarter shot selection and increased confidence are fueling his game.
Alperen Şengün has had his ups and downs this season, as have the Rockets as a whole, but there’s been some positive signs recently. Specifically since the All-Star break, he’s been more efficient on less shot attempts. Per NBA Stats , Alpi’s scoring average has dropped from 20.
7 to 20. 4 points per game. A virtually meaningless difference, but he’s doing that on 1.
7 less attempts per game. That slight change in shot diet has increased his field goal percentage tremendously. From 49.
7-percent to 57. 9-percent after February 11th, he’s sitting at a much more respectable average now. I’ll be honest, I never like to see big men making less than half of their shots, especially when most of their damage is done in the paint.
