Alperen Şengün

Forget about traditional behind-the-back passes — Alperen Şengün is simultaneously dropping dimes behind his and his defender’s backs. The legend of the second-year Houston Rockets center continues to grow against the Minnesota Timberwolves on a post up of Naz Reid, and Şengün doesn’t panic when he picks his dribble up in a precarious spot as Austin Rivers drifts over as the help defender. Şengün calmly wrapped a highlight-reel dish behind his and Reid’s backs to a cutting Josh Christopher for the slam, and he did it all on January 21, 2023, making 7 of his 9 shots for 19 points, 16 rebounds, seven assists and three blocks.
