What a surprise! Non-Championship 33+6+2! He has officially signed with the Rockets.

Oh yeah.

In a recent preseason game, Durant's strongest partner & the Rockets' interior core, Sengun, scored 25 points, grabbed 9 rebounds, and provided 4 assists. Unfortunately, Turkey lost narrowly to Germany 71-73, during which he delivered an outstanding three-point line smooth spin move followed by a powerful dunk.

During last season's regular season, Sengun averaged 19.1 points, 10.3 rebounds, 4.9 assists, and 1.1 steals, with shooting percentages of 49.6%, 23.3%, and 69.2%; in the playoffs, he averaged 20.9 points, 11.9 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 1.9 steals, with shooting percentages of 45%, 37.5%, and 62.5%.

This guy has already reached NBA All-Star caliber as an interior player, so it's not surprising to see him perform excellently on the FIBA stage.

This summer, Okogie joined the Rockets on a one-year, $3.1 million minimum contract, and recently delivered a spectacular performance in a non-championship game, playing just 24 minutes while shooting 12 of 19, including 3 of 7 from three-point range and hitting all 6 free throws, scoring a total of 33 points along with 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and 1 block.He led Nigeria to a 87-66 victory over Tunisia.

The Rockets for the new season boast the best frontcourt depth in the league, with as many as 10 players having a wingspan of over 7 feet (2.13 meters), as follows:

Amen, 7 feet; Okogie, 7 feet; Finney-Smith, 7 feet; Sengun, 7 feet;

Jabari Smith, 7 feet 1 (2.16 meters); Jeff Green, 7 feet 1; Eason, 7 feet 2 (2.184 meters);

Adams, 7 feet 5 (2.26 meters); Capela, 7 feet 5; Durant, 7 feet 5.

Facing a bunch of long-armed defenders, just thinking about it makes me feel incredibly hopeless for the opponents.

Undoubtedly, the Rockets for the 25-26 season are one of the top contenders for the championship, with odds only second to the newly crowned champions, the Thunder. American media outlet "FW" believes they are fully loaded in defense, athleticism, and talent, with the only weakness being shooting, which is why they made a strong push to acquire Durant.

Durant is nearing his third championship of his career, and this is the title he desires the most, as it would prove he can still dominate the league after leaving the Warriors.
