    Amen will definitely need a post game.

    He has so much size and athleticism that he can back down any PG that he matches up with.

    If he keeps working on his shots, he will be the only player on this roster with no real discernible weaknesses in his game.

    If he wants to be the corner stone, he has to be a starter first and foremost, there is no way around it.

    I think there will be games when he will clearly outplay Fred Van Vleet even in his first season.

    he might be one of the fastest players i've ever seen. literally glides like a gazelle out there.

    the breakaway layup here is at Kipchoge levels of ease.

    Only complaint in Amen is he on that Derrick Rose no grabbing the rim dunks

    If I’m a GM/Coach star players are getting in trouble just landing on their knees and not grabbing the rim

    The reason Harden never had knee issues is cause his ass was lazy and stuck to layups 90% of the time

    Scoot is a more polished scorer. Better finisher. Amen is the better passer/playmaker. Much better defense. I enjoy watching them both. I may give Scoot the slight edge currently but not by much.

    Hot take: Dillon Brooks has at least as bad of shot mechanics as Amen Thompson does (and it shows in his results)

    Bone-on-bone. Trade him now before it's too late. He's like 20 with the knees of a 97 year old.

    He looks like the player Kobe should've been when he began his career.

    Amens court vision is already above every player on the team. He always seems to somehow find an open man even without penetration
