Jalen Green isn’t the only third-year Houston Rockets prospect who appears to be making a big impression in the 2023 NBA offseason.
After a late change in plans, Alperen Sengun is playing for Turkey’s national basketball team in this month’s FIBA Olympic Pre-Qualifying Tournament. Earlier this week, Houston’s talented young big man had 24 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists as Turkey downed Poland, 87-84, in a preparation game taking place in Istanbul.

In his first international appearance this offseason, Sengun delivered plenty of highlights on both ends of the court. In one of them, he finished a key 3-point play late as Turkey pulled away. It was also noteworthy Sengun made all 10 of his free throws after shooting 71.3% from the line over his first two NBA seasons.
Here’s a look at Sengun’s top highlights versus Poland.
Beyond Sengun and Green, other Rockets playing in this current international window include Dillon Brooks for Canada and Jock Landale for Australia. Unlike Turkey, both of those teams will participate in the upcoming 2023 FIBA Basketball World Cup.
