Rockets' ace center Alperen Shinkin, has been affectionately called "Jokic Little" or "New Jokic" by many experts and fans since entering the league. The reason is Shin Kyung's playing style and growth experience, which is similar to that of Jokic, the Nuggets' superstar. They are all technical centers from Europe and have extremely strong basketball IQ. More importantly, both of them are excellent offensive organizers. They can score points by themselves - singles at low posts or complete mid- and long-distance shooting, and can also hold the ball in hand to organize offense and connect the team's tactics, sending wonderful passes to their teammates and helping them score easily.

You should know that since joining the Rockets, Shin Kyung has been regarded as the core training of the future. Although he was the substitute for Wood and Thes when he first came to the Rockets, and even in the second year of his career, he served as a substitute for Bruno Fernando, a tough center forward, for some time, Shin Kyung immediately took over the starting center position of the Rockets with his strong personal ability, and no one could shake his position anymore, whether it was the arrival of Adams or the joining of Capela.

Although the 23-year-old Shin Kyung is not a super center in the league, many media now believe that Shin Kyung will definitely become one of the best centers in the league in the future. Some media even believe that Shin Kyung is one of the five best centers in the league next season, and he can stand side by side with super centers such as Towns, Jokic, and Embiid.

Now, Shin Kyung is the Rockets' No. 1 center and the second in command of the Rockets. After all, after Durant comes, Shin Kyung will definitely take the sidelines, but as the Rockets' best inside player, Shin Kyung will still be very important next season.

Now, the Turkish Men's Basketball Team's European Championship roster has been officially released. In this 12-man player list, the name of the Rockets' main center Shin Kyung is on the list. You should know that in the last three warm-up matches of Turkey, Shin Kyung performed quite well, scoring 25 points, 25 points and 26 points respectively. His scores in three games have never been reduced by 25 points, showing extremely strong stability on the offensive end and a hot touch on the offensive end. On the defensive end, Shin Kyung has also made a huge improvement compared to before, which can be seen in the competition between the playoffs and the Warriors last season. Therefore, although the Rockets were eliminated in the end, Shin Kyung is indeed stronger, more capable of defending, better understanding of defense, and more willing to defend.

In this European Championship, the Turkish Men's Basketball Team and the Serbian team led by Jokic, as well as the Czech team, Estonia, Latvia and Portugal teams were divided into the same group stage. Therefore, in the group stage, the match between the two super centers, Shin Kyung and Jokic, was very interesting. We also look forward to Shin Kyung and his Turkish team winning better results, and we also hope that Shin Kyung will score more beautiful personal data in the European Championships, and we hope that he can play All-Star center-level data in the Rockets' game next season.

Finally, the 12-man Turkish men's basketball team was attached. Obviously, although there are some NBA-level players in this list, such as Kolkmaz, Yultseven and Ottoman, among the 12 players, it is obvious that the Rockets' Shin Kyung is their first core. The 12-man roster of Turkey's team is as follows: Onur Alp-Bitim, Adem Bona, Semus Hazel, Furkan Kolkmaz, Shane Lakin, Sedi Osman, Elkan Osmani, Celtachi Sali, Alperen Shinkin, Kenan Hipahi, Elkan Irmaz, Ommer Yurtsevin.
