    Amen is 13th overall in total offensive rebounds this season.

    Total Offensive Rebounds (Non-centers)

    1. Amen Thompson (114)
    2. Josh Hart (103)
    3. Julius Randle (99)
    4. Toumani Camara (98)
    5. Keegan Murray (91)

    All four players ranked below Amen has played more total number of games than he has.

    In case you are wondering, he has grabbed more offensive boards (total) than the following centers:
    - Anthony Davis
    - Bam Adebayo
    - Nikola Vucevic
    - Onyeka Okongwu
    - Daniel Gafford

    Happy to admit I didn’t see this coming at all.

    Has all the look of a “when do the playoffs start?” guy. That first home playoff game since what feels like 1986 is going to be fkn lit!

    Not to mention most of those guys are starters on their respective teams. Amen was coming off the bench until three weeks ago when Jabari got hurt. So he grabbed more rebounds in less playing time (Josh hart is playing like 45+ minutes per game because of Thibs)

    Amen also seems to be quite a smart kid. And likable and articulate. And he seems to have a killer instinct. Literally nothing not to like about this kid.

    If it's one thing that we've learned over the years, is that if a player does not have killer instinct, then it is very unlikely that it will ever be developed. If Harden had killer instinct, Houston would of won a championship. It's hard to find those players that have it, but usually when you do, those are the teams winning championships. Very excited for the future.
