Alperen Sengun career highs: Running through the best games of Sengun's career

1. March 5, 2024 vs San Antonio Spurs

Stats: 45 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 5 steals, 1 block

The Wemby game. What a legendary performance.

We won't take anything away from Victor Wembanyama. It feels likely that he'll be the best player in the NBA one day. He may need to bulk up before that happens. Otherwise, players like Sengun will still be able to exploit him.

The French phenom had no answers for Sengun on the 5th. Sengun used his superior girth and strength to knock Wembanyama away from his place. If Sengun wanted the shot, he was getting it.

Sure, Wembanyama had a ridiculous 7 blocks. There's no denying his impact on team defense. Wembanyama makes it nearly impossible for guards to drive to the rim.

That doesn't mean he can contain his primary assignment. Sengun was 19/32 from the field during this game. He attacked Wembanyama for a career high in points, and the Rockets got a 114-101 win. It was the best game of Sengun's career:

So far.
