    Yeah sorry, i genuinely can't take you seriously trying to compare stats with a bench player and somebody who got 4th in MVP voting, it's just nonsense. And no, Amen's only vert on record is 40" at the OTE combine, stop making stuff up to push your narrative. That was already stated earlier in the thread. Sorry, you're just dead wrong I'm afraid.

    Thumbs up*

    You're right. Amen just happened to come off the bench to average more rebounds, more blocks, and nearly the same steals, while shooting a higher effective rate from the field.

    I actually put the dude on ignore. I may have got the year wrong and he was comparing with LeBron when he was 5th in MVP voting not 4th, but regardless, Amen isn't close to LeBron. As an athlete, as a prospect, as a player, it's not close. The Tmac was close, LeBron it's just not at all.

    This is the correct answer.

    the Rockets or Amen should reach out to McGrady to help him work on his fluidity and smoothness and touch.

    imagine amen just improving to 20-25% of McGrady’s smoothness & fluidity

    and just improving to 10-15% of KD’s shooting ability by understudying under them

    Was just telling someone how insane an all-time rockets team would be.

    keep in my mind all of the all-time great names we literally forget we’re Technically Rockets too.

    Kevin Durant
    Chris Paul
    Russell Westbrook
    Dwight Howard
    Carmelo Anthony
    Yao Ming
    Scottie Pippen
    Moses Malone
    Steve Francis
    Josh Smith
    Demarcus Cousins
    John Wall
    Dikembe Mutumbo

    and I’m probably still forgetting people
