    Amen reminds me of an only slightly shorter Giannis. So athletic.

    Amen coming back after suspension post Jabari injury, starting vs the Lakers and going 23/16 while checking Lebron is some James Harden in that first game vs the Pistons level **** where you're like "oh damn he's that dude".

    While not the same style, I do think his play right now feels the most similar to young Ben Simmons, both the strengths and weaknesses.

    The kid is good.

    Easily the most athletic guy on our team, and such great length.

    I don’t give a damn how you want to classify him. Give him massive usage and let him screw up with the ball, even If it means a temporary backwards step.

    I was bummed when we didn't get the first pick but then I was super bummed when we didn't get a pick high enough to get Scoot but it's looking like while it sucked to not get wenby, it was a blessing fall enough to get amen over anyone not named wemby

    This is awesome. Does anyone have a short clip of JJ Redic calling him a top 1% of the top 1% of athletes? I want to send it to some of my friends but I don’t want to send the full long 7 minute video hah.

    I agree with this. I’d say he’s the most untouchable dude on the team. I think he’ll be a superstar.

    Yep.

    I love Jabari, I wish this was more of like a 2-3 week injury then 8 week injury, we're going to need Jabari if we make the playoffs but this injury, I think Jabari will even get unlocked if he's playing with Amen because he can run up and down the court too but if it means Amen finally gets to show what he can do then hopefully it forces the hand of him starting over Brooks. Again, I wish it wasn't going to take an injury for the Rockets to do it this season but whatever, it happened, and hopefully Amen makes it impossible to be benched going forward.

    I've been saying for some time Amen should have the most usage on the team, at least 2nd most behind Sengun. FVV works better as an off combo guard than a pure PG too and Amen just enables Jalen Green to be the transition demon that he's supposed to be.

    I don’t care what he is. When’s the earliest we can extend him? Lock this man up on a team friendly deal asap!

    Amen can be whatever he wants. If he wants to coach let him.

    Amen definitely lost his cool and he paid the price for it. However, we don't know exactly what was s a I'd. There's no way to know it was because Herro was playing well. Words shouldn't justify violence but sometimes people cross the line and things happen. Amen is still young

    I’ve been saying from the beginning that he’s like a “smaller” Giannis
