    Lineup with Amen:

    Alpi 19pts /10 rbds / 6 assists
    Jabari 18 pts/8/ 1.5 blocks and 40% from 3s
    Eason 15pts/ 38% from threes only shooting corner 3s
    Green, 26pts /5/5
    KPJ, 18pts/ 8 assists

    6th man, Amen, 13pts/7 assists from the bench. He can be our GIddey with defense.

    These are all realistic numbers with the natural progression and potential they showed. I know the haters like trashing our guys because a 20 yr old isn't where a 25 year old vet is in his trajectory.

    Amen is a much better prospect then what he gets credit for from the fans.

    Amen, but that is subject to change. I haven't even seen a highlight of his yet so I don't know what I'm talking about.

    Such bullshit.

    No point in drafting at 4. Trade up if possible or out of the 1st round altogether.

    We're going to suck another 3 years minimum. Guaranteed

    I like Amen at #4, but I also like Cam Whitmore a lot. Besides Amen probably having highest upside in the draft outside of Wemby (and maybe Scoot), I think maybe it is easier to get a vet wing/SF in free agency. So I go with Amen.

    I'm not super opposed to Ausar or others either. I like most of the top 8 guys or so.

    I'm not mad at drafting Amen but I'd try my best to get Scoot even if we overpay a bit

    I think most people haven’t watched his highlights, that’s why they’re so down on him.

    I would overpay to get Scoot too. Charlotte might just say "we're taking Scoot" and hang up on Stone though.

    I think there are a bunch of people on this forum who haven't watched him play at all, they've just read a few snippets about him in the media and have a reflexive opinion that OTE is garbage so they must suck. Which, yes, OTE does have very bad competition, but we've seen the Thompson twins play against some better teams and their abilities translated just fine.

    Way too early. I hope we lock down some trade up options and some trade down options, but Wemby, Scoot, Miller and Amen are all really good prospects as a backstop through 4

    Right now Amen, subject to change as I'm still scouting the others. But I expect people to be hungover from losing Wemby right now and see the talent he has later likely, but he has a lot of other skills and talents to bring to the game.
