Creates A tremendous amount of chaos everywhere. How he generally locked up the Wolves and Sixers at the end of his night on back-to-back evenings was amazing. Trying to think of better defenders?
Wemby exists unfortunately. However Amen is a beast both on ball and help defense. He does everything
I thought about Lively too but decided not to be too controversial in my take given that I'm on a Rockets board.
His length, speed, quick jumping ability, are really bothering players. He isn't the best yet, but I think if the Rockets keep going like this, you can probably bet he will make one of the defensive teams.
It's hard to compare wings/guards and bigs. Wemby is ridiculous and then the versatile bigs like Mobley and JJJ are sort of apples/oranges. I think I'd rather have Amen guarding an opposing teams best wing/guard than guys like Daniels and Suggs based on what I've seen but it's not like I'm watching those guys with the same level of depth I do Amen either.
He is capable of guarding positions 1 through 5. So, if the opposing team’s best player is a center, assign Amen to defend him.
I actually agree with this. I’d say he’s second best after Wemby and best on perimeter. I could be biased of course as a Rockets fan lol, but I can’t think of a perimeter defender I’d trust more against a scorer down the stretch.
