    Neither is close to being a complete player but a cross bow to my head....I take the physically gifted specimen over the shooting guy.

    This Organization is so mediocre at developing talents, it is a disservice to both of them, honest to God.

    What was Jokic’s comp (second round pic). What about SGA? Who were they comparing him to? I guess it’s just too nuanced of a discussion for some people. I don’t think Amen will ever be Magic Johnson, in my opinion the greatest pg of all time, but he shares traits that relate to Magic. That’s what these comp discussions are, not direct comparisons to what a 22 year old player is now, but what his game may look like at his peak. I don’t understand why people are getting their panties in a wad. It’s just another topic to debate.

    It’s perfectly fine to dream but I’m just being objective in that amen has a 1/100000 chance of being magic. Magics main attribute was his court vision at his size. Amen has the size but his attribute is his cutting and finishing like prime Dwight when he’s close to the rim.

    If he can get a jumper I can see a Rashard Lewis plus type of player

    Seriously drop the ridiculous fake superiority. It's not nuance to compare a 3rd option to the greatest PG of all time, it's actual idiocy. It makes you look crazy. Fair play if you wanna be a homer, but own it, stop acting like it makes you superior or shows some vast intelligence. You can't even spell "poll" and "writing" correctly, tone it down.

    In his 3rd year Magic was also the 3rd option.

    Lol is that hill you wanna die on? In his third year Magic Johnson:
    2nd in ROY
    2 x All-star
    2 x top 10 in MVP voting
    1 x NBA all second team
    2 x NBA Champion
    2 x steals leader
    2 x Finals MVP
    averaged 9.5 assists in his 3rd season

    Are you trying to say there's a comparison, or do you want to admit that was low-key r****ded that narrative you tried to push? LMFAO

    Edit: that doesn't even count the college accolades, of which there are many whilst Amen was *quick check* playing against high schoolers because he has no fundamentals. Are you the same person as Hemingway or just his bf? hahahahaha

    Are we seeing Amen’s leap?

    This is an anonymously large amount of time he’s been the best player on the court during this win streak.

    This level Amen can easily be the 2nd best player on a championship team even without an MVP tier Batman. Eaaaaasily.

    Hey dumbass, there's a game on. Your boy's playing well. Of course you're never actually in the game threads, do you even watch or just sit jerking off to Amen clips? Again, you started all of this by randomly quoting or tagging me to cry about your boyfriend, weirdo.

    I merely mentioned the fact that Magic was the 3rd option in his 3rd year.

    Right? Or am I wrong there?

    Kind of a silly question, Amen is better than Reed right now so by definition Reed has the lower floor. The floor would just be "what if neither player improves at all." So unless you somehow think Reed is better than Amen right now, Amen has the higher floor. So given that obvious truth, the question here is really just who has the higher ceiling. You could have just asked that question and had 2 poll options.

    Also your poll options are redundant, e.g. "Amen has the highest ceiling and highest floor" is the same as "Reed has the lowest ceiling and lowest floor".

    Effectively Reed has to get out of Ime Udoka's semi doghouse first......that is a huge task.

    That dog house's ceiling is not high.

    Dude..... what? Amen with a jumper can be a .... Rashard Lewis? That is one of the weirdest comps I've ever heard.. No man, just no. Amen with a jumper is on a whole different tier from Rashard Lewis (even Rashard Lewis "plus" lol). That's a wild comparison my dude lol. Amen with a jumper can grow into a top 5 player in the league.

    ngl one of the strangest comparisons I have come up with idk, Rashard but 3x better. I'm gonna sleep on it some more.

    All the Amen comparisons are not great people bring up Magic, Lebron...maybe he will be his own archetype

    Hah I know, but Rashard was a wild one. Jabari is most likely on some type of Rashard trajectory. Jabari being more valuable on defense, hopefully he can get his shot into Rashard percentages eventually.

    Amen is,,, I dunno, Amen is a Clyde Drexler man, if you're throwing out names, much more so than Rashard Lewis.

    Amen needs to study Kwahi
    Reed needs to study CP3 and Stockton
