    Is that question, I feel Reed is not in the same tier, same stratosphere......

    This is comparing Kyle Korver to Kawhi Leonard. Or maybe Jason Kidd to Kobe or MJ.

    if Amen was simply a front runner who just jumps as high as he can and runs as fast as he can, he'd be Jalen Green

    but Amen is much more to that, he's a mature professional winner with high BBall IQ that's why he plays controlled only doing what's necessary to win no front running and showboating

    Calling amen kawhi leanord should be ban worthy. Might as well start calling Tari Eason Kobe.

    Haha yeah the ceiling with Reed is higher as shooting is more important, but you cannot deny facts world apart like.....

    And also the instincts that make Amen such a weapon, ......is unmatched, only guys I have seen such ruthlessness are Rodman and Jordan.

    Both Savants on 1 or both ends.

    Amen: 6'7
    Wingspan: 7 ft
    Standing reach: 8'8


    Reed: 6'2
    Wingspan: Little more than 6'3
    Standing reach: 7'10

    ? Trolling when people all over the NBA are saying Amen is a Savant?

    Me regurgitating people saying Amen has the tools to be more than a 1 time All Star in the future.

    I am disconnected from the group of young ones......unlike u, I don't have a horse in this race.

    Kawhi is a 2x finals MVP and one of the most clutch players of all time. He is one of the best offensive and defensive players in the league . Let’s keep it real

    That has nothing to do with what that is......you can call it ........ Hillary Duff versus Michael Jackson.

    Jack Paul vs young Mike Tyson .....it is the magnitude not the actual Comparison that mattered.

    Right now, this is a 6th Man/occasional Starter vs One of the better Starters of the League.

    Guys do comps all the time. It doesn’t mean they think they are going go be as good or the same, its just about a great player with the same archetype. Besides Magic is the comp, not Leonard :)

    i was actually thinking that if Amen never got any better at shooting, he could still be Dennis Rodman...

    and for the record, i do think Amen's shooting will get consistently better bc i believe he has that level of work ethic and drive...

    If someone calls Sheppard Curry I think that’s moronic. Same thing with Senguin being Jokic


    Not trying to be abrasive brothhas just calling it like it is

    Accurate take, but it’s still insane. Amen is closer to Ben Simmons than he is Kawhi. I say that with Amen being my highest prospect and arguably favorite player on this team (yes I’m higher on him than Reed )

    He’s definitely the only one with a killer instinct

    Precisely, because Ausar is Rodman light for the Pistons now.

    • The Gripe has been this for a longer time being now, Defense is the air for this team......without Defense, the game is not close against Contenders.
    • You can shoot 3s as much as you want like Reed, and it is only a Shoot-Off.......trading 3s.....without Defense, that is his best or average scenario.
    • High variance, if you are cold, then you lose.
    • You have Defense, and you install even a decent shooter like NAW who has been tearing the league up......then it becomes something more.

    He's closer to Ben Simmons, Rodman, Igoudala etc than he is remotely anywhere in the same stratosphere as ****ing LeBron, Giannis, Kawhi or Magic Johnson. Those are absolute top top players, Amen is a great defensive specialist with 3rd/4th option offense, it's ridiculous that they throw all-time names out. Like you say, it's ridiculous to call Reed Curry or Sengun Jokic in just the same way. Pick realistic comps people, god dayum.

    yea... i not a fan of living or dying by the 3ball, bc 0-27 happens... lol


    making a basket = preventing a basket... same net result...


    you may have outlier team that is carried by one side or the other, but most often, its all about balance...

    whether thats playing guys that are decent or better at both ends...

    or having specialists to offset any existing deficiencies...

    We’re all high on our players and it’s a perfect place to do it but imagine somebody without our homer glasses hearing us talk like it

    just gotta keep it real every now & then lmao
