Amen Thompson is the Rockets' Franchise Player

But you're still going to save us from our sins, right?

...right?

 

Only YOU can save YOU from sin (as described by those who believe in the concept of sin to begin with ) Its the beauty of acting on choice vs instinct. I always found it sad that the story of Jesus has him suffering a gruesome death in order to save those who believe in him then and in the future only to have "sin" rampant to this day -- sometimes in its worst iteration committed by the devout.

 

honestly, i'm a believer now. that NBA draft history pop quiz sold me.

looking forward to the Amen vs Sengun threads in 2/3 years. Jalen Green is better suited for a "robin" role anyways.

We cannot progress with only half of the double dragon

 

Amen can be a #1 option on a Championship Team once his shooting is average. I heard Portland LOVED Amen, and they were dragging their feet when they drafted Scoot for their 3rd pick. They know Amen’s defense will be elite against point guards in the future and having Dame and Scoot will not be a great defense wall.

I have concerns with Jabari, but Amen and Jalen is real. I love Sengun but he needs to work on his shooting and defense.

 

I'm still not 100% sold on him becoming a big time all-star, need to see more on the court (despite the obvious upside you can see from his athleticism) but I do have to say I really like his attitude/demeanour/personality. You can tell there's a brain in his head, he's got more wit than some of his team mates for sure. I think him and Jabari will be good influences on each other actually, Jabari was very business like when we first drafted him. It'll be nice to have more focused personalities to balance the more flamboyant personalities of Jalen, Sengun and Tari (and KPJ if he buys in and works out.)

 

Amon Ra

 

Did the Thompson twins grow in the last 10 months since this video training with Penny? B/c if the twins are really 6'7, Penny looks a big 6'8, or maybe more than likely twins are a big 6'6 rounded up to 6'7 and penny is a big 6'7 rounded down? At times, relative to the twins, Penny looks 6'9 Magic Johnson sized which just means the twins are(were) shorter than advertised b/c Penny was clearly an inch taller than all the 6'6 guards like Mike and Kobe. Maybe they grew since, though.

 

lol. Scarlet Spider FTW!

 

Hallelujah!

 

Amen wasn't my first choice. However after watching many interviews I can see he has something about him that might make him a star. I'm definitely pulling for him to learn to shoot.

Jalen Green is not who you want as face of the franchise right now. I hope Jalen can improved as a player but the kid is so cringy interviews to me. Maybe he'll mature since he is still so young.

 

If they rotate fvv with kpj this is massive fu-k you to Amen. I don't expect him to start sure he needs to fix that shot and he was playing underage boys he needs to learn the game but freezing him for 2 years would be unforgivable.

 

Amen gonna be riding the bench or gleague for the next 3 years.

 

Dude can’t shoot…
He’s a developmental project…
Hopefully he develops…
But there ain’t no guarantees….
