    I think they will though, the Thunder are playing him 26-28 minutes which is fair and not excessive.

    In Chet's case you could make a case of not making him a superstar but to preserve him to be just a very good All Star.

    The Gonzaga style of jumping back when being bodied up is really effective at absorbing contact and minimizing injury threat.

    We will see.

    That's two on the same ankle in 4 months.

    He'll be gone until december at least.

    Damn we really need his energy off the bench. Hopefully either Bullock or Whitmore can step up. Holiday had a good stint too.

    Sprain 2 is usually 4-6 weeks but it should be much shorter than that

    If the Rockets got a hold of LeBron's HGH stash not only would Amen be back in 3 weeks, Jalen would instantly gain 30 pounds of solid muscle.

    It's a different ankle. Honestly Amen hasn't been playing great so some seasoning might be what he needs.

    If you can guarantee Chets health I put him above everyone else including Wemby.

    Amen delusion continues.

    This is a wasted pick, but the unholy Amenstans actually thought this kid was the #2 prospect, and our franchise player.

    LMAO

    This how these agendas start.

    This poster will be there for every time Amen gets hurt or messes up just so he can brag about being right.

    I really don't understand this mentality. I hope all of our players turn out to be all-star players and win 5 championships. IDGAF who the franchise player is, as long as there is one.

    What's up with our last 3 Top Picks all sucking excessively year 1?

    Makes it hard to get excited about this team.

    In my opinion, Jalen needs to be traded, he just doesn't have IT.

    Not the same ankle - it was the other ankle this time. Rejoice!

    At least it's on the other ankle from the summer league injury. This sucks though, man. That being said I think it probably will make us a better team, I think Holiday is a much better player right now. Or maybe we'll see some more Cam Whitmore? Either way, get well soon.

    EXACTLY!! i dont get it either. im subscribed to Sengun, Amen, Cam, Bari and Jalen's onlyfans. im rooting for everyone to be great. These I told you so's are so weird. I'm sad if any of the rockets players do poorly.

    Amen does stuff when we aren't watching; he played pretty well in that GS game. but Holiday was balling. please keep it up.
