Amen Thompson Is The Future...

- Amen Thompson is the best player on the Houston Rockets. He’s only in his 2nd year, they’re one of the best teams in the league, but it is true. Everything that this team could accomplish this season and become moving forward has to do with who he has become and what he can still grow into - an unbelievable development for an already extremely talented Rockets team.

I love Amen and I do think he is the best prospect in the Rockets' roster but the Alpi disrespect in this video is crazy. There are only a few players in the league at the moment that attracts the double and triple teams Alpi is getting thrown and saying that Amen is the guy and he is the only guy is hyporbole. I love your commentary and yes, Amen is special but this one felt a bit personal, chief. I fully expect Amen to be the best player of the Rockets and have a lot of success but he's going to achieve all that with Şengün, not despite him.
That’s the majority of his content lol he picks his guys then he talks down on the other dudes in the league. Peep his ‘24 draft videos lol nothing but disrespect to GOOD players
Tucker doesnt understand basketball
@@SnakeMaster420 probably just his fantasy teams lol
I think he's mostly just saying that he can have a higher ceiling, i dont think he disrespected Segun at any point. Obviously he's good, but amen has been good too
First off, all sports commentary is hyperbole, including your thoughts on Sengun. Second, I think everyone on this roster is actually about the same. There isn’t really a tier of Amen > Sengun > Jalen, whatever. That is probably how most people view them right now, but that is right now right now. That could change in a month. And the difference between them is so small, I think it is insignificant. None of those guys are really in their own tier because they’re all good and they all do something different. Sengun will make the all star team this year though because he has been doing it the longest, while Jalen and Amen only recently started hitting his stride. But there is a legitimate argument that every one of these guys can be the best player on this team any given night. They don’t have a best player in the best way possible. At most, I think the Rockets have 3-4 tiers. The Sengun, Amen, Jalen tier, and I view all 3 of them equally, then the more role player core tier of Jabari, Tari, Cam, maybe Reed someday, then the older vets tier of Fred and Dillon. Then everyone else. But it would be stupid to say that Jabari, Tari, Cam, and Reed cannot develop into the best player on this team. Crazy to think about but this Rockets team is like that OKC team with KD, Harden, and Westbrook, except that they have 6-7 guys who can potentially become a future MVP, not just 3.
Sengun is the best player on the rockets. Amen got most of those looks on Senguns gravity and them double teaming him
Nah its Amen team , but its. Big 3.
No Amen is the best player he dominates both ends
Sengun is pivotal for sure, but he isn't a better overall player then Amen.
Amen is by far the best
I know I’m going to get hate, but I agree. What Amen is doing with his grit and defensive tenacity is great. But it’s great in a way we more commonly see than a skilled prototypical PF like Sengun.
“Amen will never be a guy that gives you 30 a night but I can see him maybe becoming a Tatum level player”
Holy nephew
I guess he's suggesting that Amen would be as useful as tatum by being a better defender and passer while scoring less than tatum? because, yeah, Tatum is like the definition of 30 a night
Yeah guy is drunk
his comp is Ben Simmons , who likes to play basketball and has leadership skills
He isn’t nearly the passer but alllll the defender and honestly a better layup package and floater game. His jump shot is ass but it’s being shot so always better. I’d say he’s more of a young Josh smith
Maybe next year their starter squad will be
1. Amen Thompson
2. Jalen Green
3. Tari Eason
4. Jabari Smith
5. Alp Sengun
Thinkin the same
Rockets winning a ring real soon wait and watch amen and alpi are the duo of the future
SGA and Chet are better though. Plus OKC just have a much stronger, deeper, younger roster than Houston.
@@SonnyK248 they're a year ahead too. let's see how it shakes out when everyone is in their prime.
@ It will still be OKC. The difference will be the fact that OKC's top guys have shooting and defense. That's pretty much a staple for their entire roster. Whereas Houston have defenders and shooters but not guys who are really great at both. I actually think that individually, Houston are more talented. Like Whitmore has a better chance of becoming a star than than Cason Wallace does. But Wallace is a much better fit as a 4th or 5th guy on a team with his defense and off ball shooting. And that goes for a lot of their guys. SGA is the clear 1 and the rest are amazing 2 guys and 3 guys and role player guys and off the bench guys whereas Houston have been grabbing highest upside guys in most of their high draft selections and working out the fit later.
@@SonnyK248actually agree with you on a lot of your points. I would contend that Jalen Green and Jabari Smith bring both defense and shooting. We'll see if Tari gets his shooting more consistent and Cam keeps giving effort on defense.
And I do think they fit perfectly together. All the talk lately is Amen v Jabari, but Amen is actually better as a replacement for Brooks or FVV.
Best breakdown of Amen that i have seen, you spoke nothing but facts.
Thanks!
The best comp I can think of is a younger Giannis. Great defenders, freak athletes, both operate around the rim and can playmake for others
Great comp but young Iguodala seems more accurate. Giannis is like 6’11 so he’s much more of a power forward/big play style
I agree he needs alot more reps on ball (he is on my fantasy team)
On draft night this guy was seen as the consolation prize to Scoot Henderson. Seems like a joke now.
He's been balling since he tossed Tyler Herro like an old shoe. Looking like 76ers Jrue Holiday.
6.4 PG Jrue Holiday
Aside from the Tatum comment, i loved this. Btw Tatum avg 30 a game once. Hes one of them 30 a night dudes.
I know who his player comp is.. Ausar Thompson. He plays for the Pistons. They're veryyyyy similar... That's my dad joke for the day you're welcome
His aggression, ball handling, and finishing abilities clear Ausar's... and I'm a Pistons fan
@@WarrenF19 i agree. i want ausar to be good so badly (it's not like he's been bad or anything). they have the same traits, strengths, weakness, literally they have the same genes, but something that stuck out to me is their demeanor off the court and how it translates onto the court. amen is way more aggressive and just plays harder. i understand ausar was getting off blood clots and currently isn't getting that many minutes, but i want him to play more like his brother because we know he can.
Amen is at his best when the ball is in his hands and he is flying into the paint and finishing or passing out
Good stuff Bro
Amen is amazing. That said, Sengun opens things up for the team. Jalen is looking like he's going to be fine. And Jabari is probably the most slept on player on the team if not the league.
To say they don't have that "insert random star player over 28", yes you're right. They have a bunch of 22 year olds that could be that.
That doesn't even get into Tari, Cam Whitmore or Sheppard.
He's Giannis and Russ combined
I was waiting for you video WoW haha
They need to take out Fred n put Jabari in starting line up, would be 🔥
The Jalen green slander is crazy they all play well together amen should def start and they should start selling on some of the young guys not in rotation but y’all act like development is not a thing every team can’t have a top 10 player that’s literally impossible and these takes getting more and more outlandish
He suffering from "Westbrook syndrome". No shot, all power. He is the premium complimentary player, the best "Robin". Just need to put him next to a batman
Nah, a bigger beast brook with a brain is a 1A championship level player.
He plays under control and has a midrange game. Not to mention his size, strength, lengthy, speed, quickness, IQ, defense, rebounding, passing, cutting, leaping ability, etc. He's going to be better than Russ
Alpi is Batman
6’7 Westbrook with defense like Scottie Pippen is not fair.m and Chris Paul IQ
He is a special talent and unbelievably athletic but he never goes left,he will be targeted by other teams defense in the playoffs,his offense weaknesses are clear for the scouts like Jalen Brown before
LIKE I TOLD YOU LAST SEASON SON I TOLD YOU THIS …. Look at my comment
It reminds me of dearron fox if he was zions height without the mid range
He is like he said. A taller recent years Westbrook without the turnovers.
People only talk about his stats. Understand he can kill you athletically and then kill you in chess. Hes above these stat observations. Hes also humble and has a twin to understand him and keep him focused. The up sides are way more than stats. Prople just dont get it. Hes mentally above most all of them as well. Ijs. Somebody please explain how im wrong. Dont look at his stats. Look at his mind.
I’m a Heat fan so I’m all for throwing jabs at Celtics players… but comparing Amen to Tatum offensively is … something. I think someone like a bigger De’Aaron Fox might be a better comparison
He’s a hybrid of Rodman and Ja
Swept the Cavs, beat Boston at their house.... I think the Rockets know who they are now. They don't need to trade for ANYBODY. This aint 2K.
Brandon Miller and Scoot Henderson went before him 😂
Amen is monica.
This is a hype video. As if Jalen Green and Sengun are some chumps. He's great and versatile. But he ain't their bread and butter yet.
I think his Pro Comp is Scottie Pippen
Wait till they get Reed up to speed. OKC vs HOU is gonna be BOS-LAL for years to come
How we gonna have amen and dyson daniels explosive seasons and cade cunningham wins most improved?
That sounds like Cade hate, lol. While I don't think Cade will win MIP because he was the 1st pick, Cade has COOKED both of those guys at one head to head this season
Amen and cam Whitmore is the future or amen and smith
Taller Westbrook, I always say until he gets a shot he's a shorter Giannis.
He is better than rookie and sophomore bron
You’re out of your mind
I love Amen but you needa relax lol, recency bias is insane
People are being too quick to jump to "best player" and all this bull. He is a great complementary player, but green and alpi are still more critical. But amen works great as a connector, and playing in the gaps alpi and green create for him.
It’s those 3 team but tbh amen improvement has really shown Alperen has regressed this entirely numbers are all down and Jalen green is the same
They can never be Amen but Amen can be them
@@darnejackson1 amen can’t shoot what’s ever
A real promising talent him and his brother the real life twin towers
What mj is to Kobe.
Lbj can be to amen
All your points shows that you a casual.
Nah, future or not he is always gonna be that guy that at Tyler Herro cooked , thus got mad that he had to body slammed Herro to get attention. Either him or his brother played for Pine Crest in pompano beach Florida ain’t that special 😂.but cares what I say in this UA-cam comments. It’s just fun to see Herro doing some damage and smile on his face 😊
Yeah man he’s always gonna be remembered for letting Tyler Herro drop 20 points on him on a random regular season game
I think rockets heat games this time 2 years from now are gonna be NASTY
The Tatum disrespect from dude is crazy
Couple of Weeks of basketball season? Lol it's been 3 months of basketball season
Shaun Livingston Comp 😂
You missed on this one Tucker. Amen Thompson is awful. He cant make a shot outside of 10ft from the basket. No jump shot at all he looks likes he's lost most of the time on the court. And defense? Defense? Just because no one plays defense now a days and you see a little bit of defense and thinks its great is way off. I appreciate him trying but he's just not that good. 🏀 🇺🇲
He’s just getting his minutes due to Jabari being hurt chill
nice troll comment for a reply, here u go
Such a delusional take. Watch his highlights against boston last night and shut it plz
