    Just one more reason to like the kid.
    He already presents as more media savvy than the rest of youngsters on the team.

    Kid has a Kobe calm to him.

    You can tell he’s prolly a Kobe over Lebron guy, but i could be wrong.

    Just needs to work on that jumper.

    He’ll get his tick soon enough.

    Thompson is going to benefit greatly from being allowed to watch and learn before being thrown in the deep end.
    And even more from coming into a situation that is focused on winning not just draft positioning.

    Amen is a very special player

    • Elite passing
    • Elite vision
    • Selfless
    • Quick defensive hands
    • Insane burst of speed
    • Insane start/stop movements
    • High bball IQ
    • Leadership skills
    • Elite layup
    • Amazing work ethic
    • Studious
    • Cares about winning
    Cons
    • Shooting
    Frankly, there is no real analogy to Amen. He is his very own special category. Doesnt mean hes the GOAT or anything,... just special

    Thank you Hornets. Thank you Portland. I knew this kid was the 2nd best prospect in this draft.
