Houston Rockets LIVE Mailbag: Alperen Sengun Shooting LEAP, Remembering Russell Westbrook & More Alperen Sengun’s shooting leap could redefine the ceiling for the Houston Rockets. Can improved three-point range from Sengun finally unlock Houston’s full offensive potential, or will the team’s floor-spacing woes continue to hold back rising stars like Amen Thompson? Host Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) goes LIVE and explores the pivotal roles of Sengun and Thompson, the need for shooting development, and organizational decisions that could shape the franchise’s future. The episode also spotlights Sengun’s leadership evolution, his recent Turkish interview, and how Chip Engelland’s arrival as shot doctor might influence Houston’s youngest talent. Listener mailbag questions fuel a rapid-fire mailbag on Russell Westbrook’s legacy, projected impact of Fred VanVleet and Marcus Smart, the future of Tari Eason, and coaching strategies under Ime Udoka. Jackson Gatlin breaks down lineup experiments, guard rotations, and key offseason moves as the Houston Rockets gear up for a season where internal development and chemistry are front and center. #Rockets #NBA #AlperenSengun 📺 Subscribe On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/LockedOnRockets 📲 Twitter: https://twitter.com/JTGatlin & https://twitter.com/LockedOnRockets 📲 Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/jtgatlin.bsky.social 🎧 Follow/Subscribe/Listen: Locked On Rockets Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnRockets Locked On NBA Anywhere: https://linktr.ee/LockedOnNBA For your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.
