Alperen Sengun, a promising center for the Houston Rockets, is poised for a breakout season. Following a near miss for an All-Star selection, experts believe he has what it takes to earn a spot this year.

Surrounded by youthful talent, Sengun, who averaged 21.1 points last season, may see shifts in his scoring but could significantly enhance his assists. His fortunes will hinge on the Rockets' performance in the early season, potentially paving the way for an All-Star appearance in February.
