    Because I recognize franchise players.

    We have at least two now.

    The beautiful thing about him is that HE LOVES BASKETBALL enough to keep working on getting better. If he keeps practicing shooting during the offseason for the next 2 years....he's going to be the 2nd best player in the league for the next 10 years.

    There could be a fair argument made in the future and it wouldn’t be crazy . Wemby is not the best player taken last year in the draft . We are just seeing only the beginning with Amen .

    Amen is a consummate professional and I hope he retires a Rocket

    Amen is playing out of his mind but Ime needs to go easy on the minutes. 40 mpg isn’t sustainable long term. Don’t want a Tom Thibodeau - Derrick Rose situation.

    Amen is easily my favorite player on the team now and it is not close

    Kevin Garnett when he develops his jumper, which is almost here.

    Hakeem was the 2nd best player in the draft and he won us two rings. Wemby likely winds up as the better player, but that doesn’t impact Amen.

    Was just arguing with a friend about this tonight. This is very much shaping up to be another Hakeem vs. MJ draft.

    Obviously, a good problem to have.

    Better fit on our team: Amen or Wemby?
