Projected top-five pick, Amen Thompson, showed both positives and negatives in his final few games for the City Reapers of the Overtime Elite. Stats In the Overtime Elite Finals, Thompson averaged 14.3 points, 9 assists, 6.3 rebounds, 0.7 steals, 0.7 blocks, 4.3 turnovers and 4.3 fouls per game. He shot 39.5% from the field, 28.6% from three and 64.3% from the free throw line. Shooting Thompson's Achilles’ heel is his jump-shot, and it didn’t look any better in the finals. He shot 28.6% from three on adequate volume and the mid-range jumper was nonexistent. The shot mechanics needs a ton of work from the release point to the lower base. He relies heavily on his upper body with a lot of shoulder and wrist powering the jumper and the lack of energy transformation from his base plays a huge role in his poor shooting He needs to get more legs and core involved to improve his shooting numbers and add some versatility as a shooter. The shooting touch gets alarmingly worse the farther away he gets from the rim.
one of the comments said to imagine Jaden Ivey playing against a bunch of high school age kids and not dominating the year he declared for the draft…Ivey and Amen are both entering the league at the same age Amen gonna turn 21 in January, he should’ve been dominating and being the OTE version of Giannis
What an emotional ass lil dude LOL! It's too easy to get you rawled up kid. Go back to talking in circles. Mr. I don't listen to analyst because they make mistakes but then I post takes from other analyst on the same topic LMAO. You're a walking contradiction. What a loser...
not really. I just find it hilarious you needing some attention this morning and coming in where nobody was talking to you and talking "hella". Aren't you hella late for school. it'll actually help you learn how to filter through simple data that you clearly are incapable of you've been literally owned on this board for the past week at least. reading your dumbass posting is just comical. hella comical
Worst posters here are the ones that compares Amen's high school stats against G-League or college stats. This is like not knowing that your local YMCA stat is different from NBA scrub's 2 ppg from the bench.
or just comparing his shooting numbers to other guys who shot poorly and not using any of the eye test Jaylen Brown might have shot bad from three and from the line in college for example, but his jumper wasn’t absolutely broken…Amen makes Jaylen Brown’s jumper look like Klay Thompson, and Jaylen Brown wasn’t drafted to be a PG or lead playmaker…that’s what makes Amen’s lack of shooting even worse
Maybe Sengun could show Amen the baby hook shot and then Amen could post up smaller PGs for easy 2 point buckets and they could take turns every time down the court alternating between baby hooks and sweet between the legs passes! Yeah!
LMAO at you trying to bring real life into a sports debate. I've been apart of Clutchfans since the early 2000's dude, I'm definitely not a kid. You're just mad that it looks like James Harden is not coming back and now your throwing a temper tantrum, LMAO. You poor thing. With your circle jerk arguments. You're an eristic person. Your talking points are beyond simple and stupid. You've got no answer, no solutions for this team other than bringing a selfish ass washed up James Harden back to the team so he can dribble the shyt out of the ball while everyone else stands around. Fook out of here clown...
who gives af how long you've been here. Being here that long and still post dumb. congrats. if you're definitely not a kid and talking like "hella bro" then i guess typical douchebag it is. I guess that's better for you. doesn't surprise me when there's plenty of other dbags on here like you you might want to look at yourself in the mirror. all your posts that you been completely owned on was you literally but but but not facts when the actual data points were right in front of you. and you couldn't even shift and filter through it. "LMAO" I'll keep doing whatever I want. don't like it? who gives af
It's too easy with you. You literally just said the same damn thing for three post in a row. I don't expect much from a Harden only stan. You're a Harden fan for a reason and it shows...
what no more hella? whats wrong, trying to hide the douchebag persona now. loser you shouldn't expect anything. you can't even expect yourself to look at simple data. dbags like yourself are typically too stupid "bro"
The sad part is YOU ACTUALLY BELIEVE you are winning this debate by repeating yourself. Let's just end it here...
You know what's sad. "LMAO" "Hella bro" and you actually think this is some debate. It's actually just me dying in laughter. Look at me I'm hella bro, I try to act cool online like a douche but im too stupid to understand something a kid could do. Just one of many of your embarrassments. This is your response after getting put in your place "Yawn", cause you're an obvious idiot who doesn't even understand you can filter games between players. "show me proof" proof shown. "FAX, boring" spoken like a true idiot who has no clue wtf they're talking about. I was laughing so hard reading that the next morning. you're actually lucky nobody can put a face to this stupidity
NBA Comparison - Lonzo Ball Not WORRIED at all about Amen's shooting. Lonzo Ball had the same issues when he was drafted by the Lakers. Lonzo is not as nearly as athletic as Amen, nor could he get to the bucket as easy. However, they both have supreme court vision. Lonzo Ball improved his 3pt shot from 30% to 42%, if Amen can get to 36% - 38% he's an All - Star!
