    Are you purposefully trying to be obtuse?

    Okay. That's just not what that phrase means to me. And that's not what it means to the people I talk to about basketball. That's the only point I was trying to make, y'all are talking about different things.

    Check my post. I’ve been saying once Amen gets comfortable driving to the basket he’ll be unstoppable

    He can just leap around the paint and can jump over any defenders head for a pass over the top. That’s why he’ll be a great point guard if he works on the handle a bit

    Amen and Cooper looked like total freaks out there vs the USA team. Amen can go around anyone at anytime. Hopefully Cooper goes to a team that can maximize his skillset because he looks like the real deal.

    Easily the 2nd best prospect on the team behind Sengun. Could even be #1 after this year. Very excited for him, he has everything but the jumper.

    Hopefully Cooper goes to some eastern conference team, the west already has 12 playoff caliber teams this year.

    Here's the whole 4th quarter of the scrimmage. Very competitive. Rockets looked good but not on the court at the end of the game. Amen is going to be fantastic.

    These franchise player threads are silly.....each of the players cited on this forum have value, promise but still have significant flaws to their game......
    The Alpha Male thing is mostly a thing of the past maybe.........
    I'll take a TEAM and not a team centered around one person at this point.......
    The person that could be the real franchise person on this team has yet to really show that IMO.......

    Someone needs to put the ball in the basket and this list is some 14-22 PPG scorers. Or are we looking at a Nuggets Jokic/Murray/Porter sort of situation?
