Boonmeelotto Georgi Zijan, the coach who marked Houston Rockets center Alperen Sengun during his time with Turkey at EuroBasket 2025, revealed that the one-time All-Star is focused on improving his long-range shooting.
The 23-year-old’s long-range shooting performance was the worst in his career since entering the league for 4 years last season, with only 23.3%. Therefore, while helping the nation, he took the opportunity to polish his skills and equip himself with another weapon.
” We mostly focus on shooting, ” said the coach who trained Turkish center through Eurohoops .
“ In the NBA, they pay attention to what areas are their strengths, and that guy developed that perfectly. ”
“ I try to focus on shooting practice, especially this year, focusing on the 3- point range . Shooting from that angle is a weakness that can be corrected. ”
Sengun will debut in the EuroBasket 2025 tournament against Latvia ( 27 Aug. )
