Extremely high usage and effort from Alpi on the 2nd game of a back-to-back. Even when he didn't get the ball, he expended energy fighting to get open. He responded by delivering the goods all the way down to the final buzzer! This was great experience for him. More of this will happen and he must adapt and continue improving. It's also great he can learn while the Rockets win games.
If I'm the opposing coach, I'd have my most athletic 6'7 player play center, lure Alpi to the top and have the point guard lob it three times in a row. The only way to stop Alpi is to get him benched. hehehre
Fantastic performance. Sky is the limit for Alpi. He and Jabari will be the best C/PF combo in the league maybe by next season.
Man, Alpi just sounds so happy to have real coaches. I feel sorry for the man having Sil@ss as his coach for the first 2 years of his career.
