    Love it. This guy is generational athlete and a legit basketball player, who can't shoot at the moment. I'd rather have that than a guy that can shoot, but isn't a basketball player (Jabari Smith Jr.).

    Aren’t you glad the Rockets are building around their #2 pick Jalen Green with shooting. Probably going to start Tate at SF again.

    Amen Thompson is hot garbage. I'm pissed and every other player I hoped we would get is now gone. This draft is $hit!!!!

    F the Rockets!

    I hope they don't just make him practice chucking 3's. With this guy's athleticism he could be a very effective mid range jumpshooter.

    From the ringer draft grades

    yet been listed). Is his shot broken? Yes. But Houston has surrounded Amen with release valves on the perimeter,
    ​
    Seriously who are these release valve guys

    Jabari 31,
    Jalen 34 ?
    Martin 31?
    Tate 28?
    Sengun 33?
    Tari 34?

    Head Honcho 36 and LOLRuba 40 are the 2 best valves. Is that what we had in mind?

    Wasn't the biggest Green fan on draft night but he won me over the moment I saw that insane first step in the NBA.

    Smith was my 3rd of the top 3, couldn't be mad at drafting him, but I'm on record for blasting him his rookie year.

    Amen is the first high pick of Stone's that I hate outright, but no use crying over spilled milk, just lock ol' boy in the gym and don't let him out until he makes 10,000 threes.
