Sengun's teammate Fred VanVleet praised the Turkish international because of his improvement on defense. Nevertheless, VanVleet also let everyone know that Sengun will continue to get challenged.

"I think it just expands kind of what you can do defensively to be able to trust him to be able to do that," VanVleet told the reporters. "It kind of changed our defensive approach. It helped us a lot; it kind of eliminated a lot of things that they like to do."

"He's capable, he's more than capable. So, we're going to continue to challenge him, and he's been stepping up to the plate," VanVleet added.

This season, Sengun averages 21.0 points, 9.0 rebounds, 5.6 assists, and 0.8 blocks per game in 18 appearances for the Rockets.
