    Honestly forgot what it was like to have a player who can pass the ball. Wow we all deserve compensation for the last few seasons.

    I think he should play, he is a tough player
    He had slow feet in OTA, he is not focus all the time. I thought he would get more rebounds though. He is going to need some times with his shot but Amen, Sengun and Jalen are our two best players. Side note: it’s official Sengun said he did grow and he is 6’11

    Great thing is that even if he's not hitting shots he's gonna fill the stat sheet.

    His court vision compared to KPJ is like night and day difference. Can't wait for the regular season to start... feels like an eternity away.

    His defense is already at an elite level, he wasn't joking when he said he wants to win dpoty awards lol. That seems unlikely for a guard but he can definitely make NBA all-defensive teams in the future.

    Mark me as another converted skeptic. Was okay with him at 4 but worried about the complete bust potential.

    This kid will absolutely not be a bust.

    If both are full speed on a fast break with Amen handling the ball just chalk up the 2 points already.

    Amen stole the ball and gave Cam a scoop pass to start the break at half court. KPJ would never pass the ball up to start a break. that **** was so annoying.

    Just about every play was polar opposites of KPJ. Amen is decisive and KPJ is drawn out

    Where have you been for two years? Sengun is a very willing passer.

    I know what you mean. The guys who are supposed to pass. It's definitely going to be different adding both Amen and FVV.

    Um... how about we do that BEFORE the season? Why keep our highest draft pick from playing? o_O
