    I can't understand what you are actually trying to say because your grammer is so poor dude. That might be a point of emphasis for you going forward. I can start a gofundme for you, please don't suffer in silence...

    Lonzo was a good shooter at UCLA. He shot 41.2% from 3.

    Amen Thompson jump shot is legit broken.

    Well it did not translate because Ball was horrible his first few yrs with a broken shot as well. He could not hit NOTHING! I recall that vividly

    College and Pros are different, ask Jabari Smith.

    Once again Jabari and Lonzo have shown the ability to make threes.

    What Amen have shown is that he can't not shoot a lick against high school kids, his jump shot is completely broken.

    I don't know how to explain this to you any clearer....

    It's true Lonzo did have good numbers in college but his form changed, which caused him to have poor percentages in the NBA for years.....it was his FORM!

    And Im saying that FORMS can be changed. If you look at Amen's form, the problem is he is releasing too low and he is not using his legs. Both are things that can be fixed with proper coaching.

    However, the other things can not be! Vision! Length! Athleticism! All those things are natural. And before Lonzo got injured, he was viewed as an upper tier PG and he is not nearly as gifted as Amen athletically.

    There are many examples of players who could not shoot early on but later became very good 3pt shooters; Kwahi Leonard, Magic Johnson, Robert Horry, Jaylen Brown, even KMJ.

    And to say a player's shot is BROKEN means he can't hit an open shot PERIOD. With Amen, it's just a matter of tweaking his mechanics and repetition

    Ahh shucks. Another rebuild year without a trade. Guess Amen can be Rocket's prayer since their magic balls didn't get picked. Only other opion for the Rockets is to trade all our assets and beg for James Harden to at least make the playoffs for them but fall short. Better than another tanked season.

    One more data point, the so called 'better competition'.

    No starters played in those games, and every player in those games were bench and under 21 players.

    Same way Amen is the "better passer" and plays point guard but gets less assists. Amen is the flashier from what I can tell. He dunks more but Ausar finishes better through contact.

    Kobe Bufkin from Michigan is a nice prospect if they trade back from 4

    In the OTE playoffs, where they were playing much more defined roles than in the regular season which was more of a transition-fest, Amen averaged 9 assists to Ausar's 5.

    Also one thing I've been wanting to mention, if you watch some full OTE games, you would immediately understand why Amen didn't average way more assists, lol. The poor level of competition cuts both ways. Never seen so many great dimes turned into bricked dunks or missed layups.

    the lengths people will go to to try and diminish how much of a problem Amen’s shooting is is getting absurd

    this isn’t some dude with a slight hitch…his jump shot needs all the public assistance in the world

    it is 1 of the ugliest jumpers I’ve seen, and it comes with even uglier results

    a lot of his misses look like someone who doesn’t really hoop shooting threes at the local LA Fitness airballing and clanking off the rim with force

    Amen has played against tough competition such as playing oversea games this year against teams like Serbia National team. He played very well against those teams, he filled up the box score. PEOPLE, he has played against top talent:




    He played well in this game going against professional players oversea
