On Monday night against the Utah Jazz, Sengun put up a combination of numbers that has never been seen in the NBA.
His final stat line looks like this:
StatMuse says this is an unprecedented feat.
A passing wizard under center, Sengon could easily be compared to Nikola Jokic, although that would be a bit much.
But he is a very special player.
The Rockets are slowly leaning more and more into running their offense through him. Fred VanVleet is out for the entire season due to injury, making operating through Xian Gong even more necessary.
He didn’t disappoint either. Sengun’s offense is very precise.

He is also making more and more contributions defensively. Contributing 5 blocks and a few steals in a game is something Sengun couldn’t achieve early in his career, but now, he is capable.
Sengun has improved quite a bit, and his progress may not be over yet.
