Issue isn't Amen. It's Amen and Sengun. Reed can operate in either the halfcourt or in transition. Amen is a demon in transition (as is Reed). Sengun isn't efficient enough to justify his place in the half court offense but is good enough to keep the offense afloat (alongside Reed).

You're either going to live with the defensive and transition limitations of Sengun, or live with the half court limitations of Amen. Problem isn't entirely Amen's inability to shoot. Even Legler said that it's infuriating to him how Amen is used in the Rockets offense. "Someone needs to go the bench" is sort of moot because it's either Sengun or Amen and neither one of them is.

Amen + Sengun are a little above average for us
Reed + Sengun == big problem

I'm not sure the solution but Amen causes a ton of problems on offense by killing spacing. He's a beast defensively and in transition but he makes everyone on his team worse in the half court.

I think the issue is he's playing hurt. I remember him having calf strains earlier in the season hence why he's not as aggressive towards the basket. I notice his decline offensively since then.
