In this video we break down the different facets of Amen Thompson's game, and look at some of his best plays from his rookie year. Twitter- x.com/HoopsDrive
How does he have this kind of feel for the game and great defense coming out of OTE, it really surprises me. Only if he can shoot, he will be a top 10 guy
@@malagadrivehoops6634Some dudes just doesn't have the hand-eye coordination to be a good shooter. I think he could make short middys but unfortunately I don't think he'll ever shoot 3s
@@Time_Lapse_Master.watch his full games at OTE he can shoot, just takes a diff level of confidence to shoot how he did before he isn’t used to not being the best on the floor so he isn’t as comfortable shooting
He’s the best player in that draft besides Wemby. I don’t though it’s even debatable. If he can get even an avg. jump shot he’ll be a star and putting up 20/10/5 with elite defense. He’s a stud and future star. He just does everything which is rare.
@@cursivenewb I fw Tari bro, here’s a link to a Twitter thread I did on him last year x.com/hoopsdrive/status/1684653525232672771?s=46&t=q6ANmUvImr4MktL3OHfB6A I’ll have a vid on him eventually
When you add in the rockets will always have a play maker on the floor with Sengun, Vanvleet, Amen and a bit of Jalen 😯 and reed also has that potential the ball movement the plays the dunks! It’ll be so electric this year
He's not a freak athlete. He's has excellent size for his position but it is his skill set that makes him stand out. He has an old school fundamental style about him. He has attention to detail and is a technician on the floor! He plays the game the RIGHT way. I love his game.
Him developing even a decent jumpshot would be nothing short of a miracle. You can't overstate how bad his shooting is. His shot is not only bad, its "generational bad".
His quickness getting off the floor (especially when rebounding) reminds me of Moses Malone. I'm not saying he'll be anywhere near as good but it just looks like Moses.
Really good video so far, enjoying the breakdown, but Amen is 21 years old, not 18. He will get stronger, but the leap won't be as big. Regardless, I will subscribe. Thanks for this video.
Nice video. Call me crazy, but the Rockets will contend for a title, THIS YEAR! Why? When they’re actively passing, playing defense, and hitting shots, they will beat anyone else’s A game! But the intangibles this year, even more than last, is going to be teaching! Each man has at least one element in their game that is all-star caliber. Basically, they each have an opportunity to learn different parts of their individual games from each other! Stay healthy, Rockets. Last year was .500. This year? 🤔 I already made one crazy prediction. I’ll leave the record alone. It won’t matter anyway.
Thank u 4 not calling anyone out "jalen". As a rockets fan I want each and every player on our team 2 get better. Not just sengun and jalen. I have no favorite player. Everyone on our team is my favorite player.
I would love that to be true but I think make the playoffs this year. Make a little run next year. Start competing after that if we keep the roster together
Why do rockets fan diss jalen so much and he apart of the team??? Smmfh. U should want all the players 2 do good, get better. Some get better faster than others.
@@GreenroomTV Yes, offense is scoring, but shooting is not the only part of offense. Amen is a great slasher, finisher, ball distributor and has elite court vision and awareness. Shooting is just one aspect of offense. And just about everyone improves their shooting over time, so nahh, I'm not worried about that.
He can’t shoot for shit.. and his free throws are trash….. he is a great athlete with potential to be a good player. But he is not a point guard at all.. he was a pg on overtime elite… but not skilled enough to be a point guard in the NBA he is not a point guard on the NBA level!!! he is currently KJ Martin with more ball handling skills
A bigger, more athletic KJ, with longer wingspan, savant iq, more "dog", and switchable 1-4 defender. But yeah besides all that I get the comparison....
