Kevin Durant has never hesitated to give flowers to young players in the NBA, as the Brooklyn Nets superstar was once in that position and knows how things work when players are trying to find their spot in the association.
KD is now a veteran who’s trying to lead his squad to a championship and is fully focused on that, but he still finds time to watch the young stars in the league, especially now that he’s sidelined after picking up a knee injury.
Durant really loves basketball, and he’s paying attention to everything happening around the league, including the up-and-coming players that could take over after he and some of his peers call it a career.
Kevin Durant Gives Flowers To Alperen Sengun And Other Young NBA Stars
During a recent conversation, the 2x NBA champion was asked about the players he enjoys watching in today’s league. KD mentioned Houston Rockets’ Alperen Sengun, who has been drawing a lot of attention recently.
Kevin Durant on which young players he really enjoys watching play: "I would say I was going to give some love to Alperen Şengün. I like Sengun. He was dunking on a couple of people. I didn't know he could get up like that. He's nice. I like him." https://t.co/HwqW18XAPx

“I would say I was going to give some love to Alperen Sengun. I like Sengun. He was dunking on a couple of people. I didn’t know he could get up like that. He’s nice. I like him.”
KD also gave some love to Jalen Green, another Rockets player, and Josh Giddey, an interesting young player from the Oklahoma City Thunder.
The NBA has welcomed incredible players in recent years, including Ja Morant, Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Zion Williamson, and others. The newest generation is here, and some of them are already making noise around the league. Sengun is a part of a team with some players that receive a lot of attention, but he’s working his way to the top, showing his quality every game.
The Turkish player currently averages 15.5 points, 8.9 rebounds, and 3.6 assists per game, shooting 57.5% from the field and 74.0% from the free-throw line.
