Udoka Praises Alperen Şengün After Warriors Win

The Houston Rockets beat the Golden State Warriors 115-108 and ended their opponent's eight-game winning streak. Alperen Şengün once again drew attention with his versatile play.

After the game, Ime Udoka answered a question about whether Şengün would be able to show the same consistency every night. The coach said the national team player's triple-double numbers could actually have been higher. According to him, such performances would be seen much more often if his teammates had made their open shots.

Udoka said it was important for Şengün to know when to look for his own scoring, to read the defense's attention correctly, and to use his passing ability. He said similar games would continue as long as he kept succeeding in these three areas. He was also one step away from a triple-double tonight.

The coach also noted that Şengün's season averages were already at this level and that the team needed this. He stressed that when a big man who can direct the offense is available, the team should take advantage of it. According to Udoka, Şengün adds much more to the Houston offense than a classic big man.
