I don't love him as a player or especially as a person, but he's the only 20-something #1 option I can currently envision becoming available in...
And honestly Reed's rim finishing ability has somehow been just about as good so far as Jalen's was for us. Granted, he gets there less than half...
I'm still kinda lowkey waiting on Ant Edwards to become available at some point and hoping we'll have the best package for him Although on the...
Both of those are hard to learn, but we also have plenty of examples of it happening with past and present players. Ideally Amen learns to shoot...
If there's one argument I'm most sympathetic to regarding "Amen is a wing" it would be that he struggles with three pointers above the break. As...
It's weird because he has stretches where he does look like an elite jump shooter, but yeah he has looked like a below average shooter for...
The idea that Amen was going to come into the league and immediately learn to be a jump shooter was always fairy tale thinking, but people are...
On paper he was Fred's backup, but in reality he still mostly played off-ball. It just ended up with Jalen Green handling the ball most of the time.
Maybe DD thinks he will be a generational point guard with his playmaking (Nash arguably was, Price definitely wasn't), but I see that even less...
He also had a 9-game stretch within that where he was shooting only 20% from three He misses too many open shots for me to consider him to have...
I haven't seen any signs of him having generational potential, not even with his jump shooting. His statistical profile so far is very similar to...
Hard to tell for sure from that angle, but that shot actually looked like it was online, just left way short. He's looked horrible on above the...
I think your read on him if he never learns to shoot is probably accurate. Maybe in the right high-paced offense, with enough shooting around...
I mean... yeah? How many millions does a guy actually need? Your career earnings are $500 million and counting from NBA salaries alone, dude,...
If you go back and watch his games in OTE, they were mostly played in transition. (Which also explains why transition play is when he looks most...
That's also the situation Amen was in until he hit the NBA. Not sure why it would be an argument that Griffin could learn to do it and Amen...
Our overall lack of spacing makes things easy on opposing defenses. Amen is a big part of that problem for sure, but I do think you can have one...
I think if you can get a much younger player who fits and is a little bit worse you do it. You don't do it for the kind of package we gave...
One thing that I think people are missing or ignoring about Amen is that it is actually really hard to find a guy who can legitimately make things...
Blake Griffin eventually became a 3P shooter after shooting 20% his first three seasons (61% from the FT line and under 35% in the midrange)....
