    I honestly don't know where you'd pencil Amen in on the team. He can't shoot well enough to play ANY position, but he has the athleticism and size to play the SF.

    I just don't see him as an NBA caliber player until he gets a LOT better shooting the ball.

    Agreed. He’s gonna be a project imo. Gonna be a while before he’s ready to play. Idk who the pick should, but I’m hoping Brandon Miller falls to us

    Jokes aside, the NBA asking him to speak to young, potential players is a really good sign.

    I think both will eventually start with Amen off the bench his first year and eventually slide into the “small forward” role of guarding forwards on defense and running point on offense. His 6’7 size gives him a lot of flexibility

    How does having consensual sex with a coworker have anything at all to do with this discussion? People have sex. We all have. If it wasn't wanted on both ends, no pun, it would have been a crime.

    Where's the context?

    How about when the woman says "no I dont want to do it anymore" you not creep the F out and show up at her family home leaving vulgar and abusive messages on their Ring system so her husband finds them? It was so innocent that the guy got himself suspended for a full year and the details sealed behind NDAs. Sexual abusers are not all in jail. There was no rape I didnt call him a sexual assaulter. Somehow still the incident gets high fived among the macho man segment and a kid who throws soup becomes the villain! What a time to be alive!

    This seems the most likely scenario, KPJ saves face while being de facto replaced by Amen at point.

    If he does, will we give him the kudos he's due?

    Easy to twist if you wish.

    Would be one thing if you knew the real side of half the story, but obviously you, nor I, or anyone else who wasn't actually privy to the info would know any of this. WTF is the point?

    You could also do a simple "ime udoka ring camera" search and get your fill. Remember macho men -- No means no!

    Yep, he did after she broke it off......and her husband got them.....and that is what got him fired.

    Look, this is personal stuff, that he did, it shouldn't be a factor on his job, nor should anything KPJ has done YEARS in the past, but some people just can't let go.

    Everyone deserves a new start......and there is no way in hell that Amen starts over KPJ - as a rookie, he isn't good enough.
