Houston Rockets’ promising young center, Alperen Sengun, has experienced a significant growth spurt since entering the NBA. Sengun recently shared in an interview on The Bradeaux & Will Show that he has grown an additional two inches in height.

“I’m right now six-eleven,” Sengun disclosed during the conversation. “Tyrese is saying seven-foot. Maybe with the shoes, yeah. But without shoes, I think I’m six-eleven or something. When I came to the NBA, I was six-nine. After one year, I was six-ten. Now I’m kind of six-eleven.”

This unexpected growth has added to the already impressive skill set of Sengun, who showcased his talent during the 2022-23 season. In his sophomore year, he averaged 14.8 points, 9 rebounds, and 3.9 assists in 28.9 minutes per game.
