Rockets Teammate Shows Excitement To Pair With Kevin Durant
The Rockets rely mostly on their core members, including Alperen Sengun and Kevin Durant. Sengun will enter his fifth season with the Rockets and is excited to play alongside Durant. The rising star had a strong EuroBasket season and will aim to maintain the momentum in the league.
“Now I know how we were worried about guarding KD when we’re playing against him. Now, we don’t have to worry about that (guarding KD). Other teams have to worry about that. I am just gonna help him as much as I can, and I’m sure he will help everybody,”Sengun stated.
Sengun averaged 19.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, and 4.9 assists in the Rockets’ core. He had a strong 2024-25 season, but the team had a first-round playoff exit despite his effort.
