    What kind of backup guard does that while putting up 7 stocks? He’s finding new levels to his game - awesome to watch.

    My favorite part is he knew he made it while it was in the air. That's confidence.

    Watching Amen do stuff like that is like listening to Mozart. Absolute perfection. He may be my favorite player.

    Sorry, I've had some whisky.

    Amen should not be a backup guard!

    It's time to let him have Jalen's spot in the starting lineup.

    I don't care whose spot he takes. He needs to be in the lineup for 35+ mpg. We are witnessing a star being born. Players like him are not shackled by "position". You get them in the game and let them figure out what role they need to play that game, in real time. Sometimes the distributor, sometimes the facilitator, sometimes the finisher from perimeter, sometimes the dunker...ALWAYS the vehement defender.

    His shot looks *so* much better now. It's actually crazy how much his form has improved.

    Amen is the 6th starter. He will continue averaging 30minutes depending on whoever has the bad night between jalen/bari/gune/brooks.

    I think Amen is the most wrong I've been about any player we've drafted in this era. I think I've been mostly correct, or at least in the same ballpark with our other picks. But man, I thought Amen was going to be garbage, I was mad when we drafted him. This guy is absolutely incredible.

    Jalen playing poorly? Amen

    Sengun having a bad game? Amen

    Fred is injured or out? Amen

    Amen was super clutch making big plays down the stretch. We are super blessed to have a player like amen.

    Them steals and defense ability is so disgustingly good for a young age
