    What’s the report on Amen Thompson?

    what are the pros and cons of him?

    I heard his shot is garbage. If so I don’t know how this guys gonna last in a league where shooting especially for a guard position is critical

    All the posters disliking the pick so far have horrible track records. More excited than I was before this thread.

    Pure bust from day one. Won't be in the NBA by his 3rd season.

    Well, hopefully that jumpshot comes a long.

    I am excited to have such an amazing athlete.

    I voted no. We had no other choice because of our desperate point guard position. I hope he can develop a jump shot in a year to 30 percent from the 3 point line. I'm not optimistic though. Udoka will work him hard, that's the good part. His defense might get better.

    I wish him well.

    YES YES YES Thank God; need the playmaking, defensive versatility, and insane athleticism. If he fixes his jumper, it's over for the league lol
