I wasn't triggered. You are the one who posted half a page in retort to a simple misinterpretation. There is no debate. We would be stupid to trade Amen. He isn't going anywhere. When you start off with Yo, maybe you should quit schooling me on how to write as an adult.
There was no misinterpretation. That's not what misinterpretation means. You wrote something you didn't mean and when someone just treated you like you're not an idiot, your reaction was to say "calm down"? Wtf? Stop being such a snowflake and just say you miswrote what you meant. You tell me to calm down you're going to hear about it obviously.
I'm only messing with you because you took my initial response far too seriously. Good grief, it's a sports forum. Sports is just entertainment. But, I'm done anyway. I don't want to argue over silly stuff.
I can't wait to watch this kid play basketball again. I don't think I've been this excited by a Rockets prospect since Yao Ming. And I love Sengun, so that's saying a lot.
Amen offensive can play the Guard, but I'd prefer that he D's up a Forward so he doesn't wear out his knees fast.
I like Amen defensively better on guards as he can mess up an offense at the POA. with his length and athleticism. Offensively, I like Amen as a forward as his speed kills them.
He's young but putting so many miles on his knees is going to shorten his career. Especially with his size, and the weight-gain he'll accumulate in the next couple of years, he's really got to pick & choose the battles. My suggestion would be to go with more natural motions. The bigger the size and weight, the less lateral stress you should put on the knees.
Is it just me or does Amen already look like he gained some muscle mass since the end of the season? He was already sneaky strong but if he gets any stronger he will legit be in that D-Wade, mini-Giannis kind of territory where he can just play straight bully ball and knock dudes out of the way
Well, we saw Amen make a bunch of "bully" plays last season, including on Jimmy Butler and even Draymond in the playoff series a couple of times. I don't think that will ever become his primary style of play, but he could use the tactic more often as his career progress. IMO, speed will remain his main physical tool for getting near the rim.
His form looks better (granted it's a clip of a few made jumpers during practice but we take what we can get). He looks bigger, and I like that he's also putting work ball handling. Can't wait to see him and the rest of the core with KD. They will all have more room to operate...
