Sengun demonstrates his importance to the team with a double-double in a close game. When he sat out a significant amount of the 3rd quarter due to fouls, the Rockets offense looked poor, and that is reflected in the ±. While he did have many TOs and had to be more passive on defense due to fouls, he otherwise played a good game and continues to be the best-looking, and most consistent, of the Rockets’ young core.

Yeah, the outside shot just isn’t super consistent at this point which is why he’s hesitant. I don’t mind it though, because I’m pretty sure Sengun’s thought process is “I can find a better shot inside the arc for myself, or get a better shot for my teammate”, and tbh I think that’s true. He’s been a great decision maker for us this year.
