Exclusive All things Amen Thompson

[HailBlazers]

of course, he'd be over 13 feet tall

So just under Wemby

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Amen will be the 3rd pick.

I feel it!

I think that’s the Indian food

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Bro!

Did you just assume my gender?

 

[illmatic99]

Sharpe was young and could shoot.

How is that at all like Amen Thompson, who is older than Sharpe by four months in absolute terms and makes Scoot Henderson look like Mark Price?

Thompson twins also 1.5 yrs older than Shaedon was at the draft

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Dame follows only two players from this draft:

Scoot and Amen.

 

[JDC]

He has his fans in here, but feel like overall this forum is the most anti Amen group on the internet lol

 

[BigGameDamian]

Well, I’m glad that it sounds like the Blazers are going to pick another guard. I hope he’s comfortable backing up Dame for the rest of his career. We all know that Dame’s going to finish his career in Portland. Sharpe is the SG and that’s where we all thought he should play. Or are we now going to say that Sharpe can play SF spot? So I guess we are drafting a backup guard with our 3rd pick?

He’s similar in skillset to Scoot — in a Ron Artest frame

I'm not anti, I just don't think he's worth the 3rd

He is a tremendous finisher around the basket. And I am not just talking about his dunks.

He reminds me of Shaun Livingston who was sensational before injury and still really good after injury.

Livingston was good, but hardly sensational. I think there is a mythology about pre-injury Livingston due to him being a bit of a unicorn as a 6'7 PG and the brutal nature of his injury along with the feel-good nature of his comeback

in the 3 seasons before the injury he averaged 7.4 points, 4.8 assists and 2.6 rebounds. He had a PER under 12.0, a TS mark under 48%, and a negative BPM. He entered the league at 19 so he had good upside, but his numbers left a lot to be desired

damn

Here you go baby bro.

 

[AldoTrapani]

Omg please look at stat line guys

25-10-11 with a block

HUGE BLUNDER

 

[blazerfan11]

Thompson had a nice air-ball 3-point attempt which did at least hit the backboard , near the end of the Knicks - Rockets game.

Thompson also turned the ball over at a critical time and pretty much sealed their defeat.

27.2 seconds left

Amen Thompson lost ball turnover (Jalen Brunson steals) Score: 116 118

I really don’t want to root against the kid, but some posters are forcing me into that corner.

Dude is one year older than Scoot

 

[wizenheimer]

Dude is one year older than Scoot

one guy just turned 22; the other just turned 21. I think the age difference is way too exaggerated. Amen has played 108 NBA games; Scoot has played 105. Amen has started 42 games; Scoot has started 40. Scoot has actually played more minutes than Amen

a big difference is that since Christmas, Amen has been starting and hasn't played less than 30 minutes in any game and has played 36 minutes or more in 13 of the last 18 games; and more than 40 minutes 8 times. That's the kind of open runway that Scoot won't get as long as Chauncey and Simons are around

Aint that gods honest truth.

I don't get the weird obsession with players that the team didn't draft, or didn't trade for.

Comparing Amens stats to Scoots is kinda dumb (esp since we need shooting and that's actually something Scoot has started to provide).

Compare his stats to Deni or Tou, players that he would be playing the same position as.

He would play point guard here.

 

[SharpesTriumph]

He would play point guard here.

For 12 mpg backing up Simons and Grant.

 

[Wizard Mentor]

He and Camara on the same Rising Stars team will be nuts. Crazy good defense.

A worse shooting PG than Scoot. That seems dumb

 

[SharpesTriumph]

I think this year they play the rookies and then that winners plays one of the 3 allstar groups. Would love to see them both shut down some allstars who think they can just coast.

I'm actually really excited for the new format.

 

[B-Roy]

Being a non-shooter is less important when he has the ball in his hands all the time. I'm convinced people here haven't seen him play. No one respects his shot and he's still getting to the rim at will. Giannis lite.
