    Just need the kid to be slightly better from 3pt range than Russell Westbrook. I think that would be enough for him to have a stellar career. It's not guaranteed he gets there, but it's not like he has to become a big time shooter for his career to matter - as many are making it seem.

    Excited to get a first look. Wondering if he can disrupt Scoot Henderson.

    He is clearly overmatched. Lol. He looks like he sees the matrix. We are going to need a PnR finisher.

    Credit where it's due, I was heavily critical of Amen, but his defense looked really nice out there.

    Wow.

    I didn't know what to expect of him, because the highlights didn't show much. But boy is he a player! Dominated the game on both sides of the court. He looked like a sophomore, so calm, precise and smooth. Insane vision and quickness. Also a very nice touch and angles on layups. Active, aggressive defender with high IQ. His size and athleticism is such a big plus at the PG position. His passing is as advertised, and he has a great feel for the game. Really liked his crosscourt and corner passing. And to top it off, he swished his only 3. I'm impressed.

    Hopefully the ankle sprain is mild, and We get to see him again in this SL.

    Hopefully he'll be ready day 1, i've seen enough of him honestly and feel confident that he has a lot of translatable skills to the NBA and he hit his only 3 so thats fine.
