Şengün's deal improvement is one of several struck by people of the freshman class of 2021 away of Monday's date.
Alperen Şengün has agreed to a five-year,$ 185 million expansion to his rookie deal, ESPN's Bobby Marks reported Monday, citing Şengün's agencies.
Şengün's offer is one of a rush ahead of Monday's date for users of the freshman class of 2021 to consent to extensions to their quarterback contracts before the start of the new period Tuesday.
Şengün joins his Rockets teammate Jalen Green, Cade Cunningham ( Pistons ), Evan Mobley ( Cavaliers ), Scottie Barnes ( Raptors ), Jalen Suggs ( Magic ), Franz Wagner ( Magic ), Moses Moody ( Warriors ), Trey Murphy III ( Pelicans ), Corey Kispert ( Wizards ) and Jalen Johnson ( Hawks ) in agreeing to extensions from the rookie class of 2021 ahead of Monday's deadline.
A 6-foot-11 facility, Şengün joined the Rockets as the 16th pick of the 2021 NBA Draft out of Turkey. He signed a four-year,$ 15.5 million commitment as a freshman.
He's since developed into one of the NBA's most dynamic great people and an outlet for the Rockets at 22 years old. In 63 games last season, Şengün averaged 21.1 points, 9.3 rebounds, five assists, 1.2 steals and 0.7 blocks per game while shooting 53.7 % from the field and 29.7 % from 3-point distance.
Şengün leads a young Rockets main that even features Green, Jabari Smith Jr., Proverbs Thompson and quarterback Reed Sheppard, all of whom are younger than 23 years old. With soldiers Fred VanVleet and Dillon Brooks in the beginning lineup, the Rockets are looking to create a plunge this year from being continually lottery-bound to argument for a playoff place in the West.
The Rockets will start the year Wednesday against the Charlotte Hornets.
