Ausar really reminds me of the bad boys period Dennis Rodman, lateral quickness, repeat jumps and calmness, and it's not a shot to Amen, the brothers are pretty much the same build, it's just that rockets are a far better team using Amen way better on offense.
@@therocklau yeah it’s definitely worth noting Amen has a fair bit more shooting, passing and overall IQ around him vs Ausar in Detroit. Both have crazy potential
@@himekomurata72 that is the biggest question - shooting. Their form is just not good.... and a lot of these super-gifted athletic players neglect shooting fundamentals.
@@wallacegachanja9219If they keep Adams, I can see this team making playoffs. His screen setting, rebounding and defence is elite, literally the best screen setter and rebounder in the league. Move Alfren to the four and allow him to focus on his scoring, big things coming.
Amen and Cam are already showing good signs.. Next season will be scary with Sangun, Jalen, Tari, Jabari, cam and Amen. Add Vanvleet, Adams And Brooks. Things are looking good in Houston
I like your take but no way.. Sengun is a superstar in the making. Not many guys like him in the league. Add that with Jalen finally finding himself and the other young guys improving… sheesh
@beyondbasketballtv4893 Rockets last 10 games rank #2 Offense #3 defense Sengun bad fit to team Lack defense Amen at 4 it track team Team just dont score 85 in half Sengun an fred trade Add Ja Morant an vets be contender Tari,Cam get more minutes at 4 an 3.. Sengun bad fit he start team not running half court team Jalen wasnt getting Attempts Last 10 games #1 option average over 33
Really one of the best videos I've seen on Amen yet. Everyone gets how athletic he is, but this video really highlights just how SMART he is as a defender (Savant level). If he can get a consistent jumper and 3 ball going he'll enter into absolute superstardom.
i’m a Pistons fan (…….i know) and i’m hoping Ausar can adapt his brother’s handle because both of these guys can be some of the best players to EVER play the game if they ever figure out how to shoot
If you really watch them they both have good control of the ball. The thing is they both are SO athletic and SO fast that they see opportunity and actually rush themselves a lot and will fumble the ball (common things you see from great rookies year in and year out). As far as their shooting, it can only get better from here lol
As a spurs fan I have talk about for the past 3 years how Rockets young core was probably the best in the league at the time I’m pretty sure it was Jaylen, Kevin porter, sengun and they still had Wood (which I think he would stay on the team) Now they added Jabari and Thompson. I always said a rebuild takes 5-10 to see the results if a team does it correctly so far Rockets have been building nicely to that.
A rebuild shouldn't take that long. Teams have been going from horrible to playoff ready in 2-4 short years. Look at okc for example. Or the orlando magic. The magic just blew their team up in 2020 and went into rebuild mode and they already are in 5th place in the east and heading to the playoffs with a possible 50 win season. All it took was 3 drafts. 2020-2022 drafts to get to this point. I think okc went into rebuild in 2020 as well. And they're at the top of the west.
@@coreyjohnson5346 The purpose of a rebuild isn’t to just have one playoff success it’s about competing for a championship and having championship success. Yes rebuilds does take that long okc is just the expectation to the rule. Also okc already had the superstar-like player in Shai so all they really had to do was build a core and they did that and now after this season they can get some supporting pieces around their core.
@@coreyjohnson5346 the steps to a rebuild is if you don’t have one already it’s to find and get a player with that superstar potential or that already is one then you want to build a core look at warriors for example they found their superstar player in Steph this was 09 about and then develop their core with klay dray and Harrison and added Andre as a supporting piece and bogut after 5 years they saw results . Look when okc did it for kd drafted him in 07 build the core w/ Russ, harden and ibaka and added supporting pieces like fisher I believe, Perkins and they saw results 5 years later in 2012 it just they kind let harden slip through their fingers and they was unlucky w/injuries every year after besides 2016. I know those are only two examples but when you look at every successful rebuild (whether they got close to a chip or won it) it all took 5-10 years and then they’re examples like kings where it takes longer .
Amen is like a quicker, more athletic version of Ben Simmons but with the work ethic, drive, motor to be great. He also has great attention to details and a pure student of the game. Also, he doesn't shy away from taking the open jumper regardless of his percentage like Simmons. I think because of his work ethic and dedication to the game, his jumper would improve significantly similar to Lonzo Ball. Jalen Green is insanely quick with freakishly athletic abilities, making it nearly impossible for anyone to stay in front. He's one of the quickest players in the league. But Amen proved why he's so special because his quickness and athletic abilities is even superior to that of Jalen Green
@@javiermedina6144 athleticism is just speed and vertical. Amen is super twitchy and strong with great body control. He could have been a professional athlete in just about any sport because of just how damn well rounded and amazing his overall size and athleticism combine together.
@@TVGoldMind bro so is Jalen...speed, vertical, great body control. Im just saying Amen is not crazy levels above Jalen in athleticism. I just thought "superior" was misused
Man, thank you for shedding some light on Amen. I am a rockets die hard, and I agree with everything in this video. The mainstream media will catch up eventually. All Amen needs is a serviceable jumper and he's a superstar.
They're building themselves either a Boston or Denver. Before it was basically "James Harden or bust". I see multiple guys on this team that can step up and win a game now.
All the pieces are there! Shooters (Green and Smith) check! Strong post presence (Sengun) check! Ball distributors (Thompson & VanVleet) check! Lock down defenders (Brooks, Eason, & Thompson) check! Quickness, youth, speed, etc. (all of them). It’s all on Udoka now to make this all work!
He's one of the better Popovich disciples. Figuring out how to maximize both Sengun and Green is his next challenge. Green shines at a fast pace, attacking the basket schemes. Sengun is a more methodical dude playing point center.
Amen Thompson was already a talented person before he went in the NBA I remember he was in Reaper City with his brother. You cant let the 2 brothers together in the same team because they have to much chemisty
Tbanks for the video. Well made. Id like to see you focus on his offensive rebounding prowess in future videos too. He has a great ability to hunt down loose balls.
As a Rockets fan i don't mind the Ben comparison at all, because Amen will actually shoot the ball when he needs to. He doesn't have the hesitation that Ben did/does
6Man you're the goat, you've always showed love to the rockets' young talent. Our core 6 is insane and with Ime coaching, our potential is through the roof. Amen is an insane player/athlete it's amazing to have him alongside the rest of the core 🚀
He’s deceptively strong as well able to hold his ground against even some of the larger centers in the league when switched. I can see him becoming something like Kawhi on defense as he grows in size to around 6’7 230.
Went to the past two games Bulls and Jazz, I'm impressed by this team they are hitting baskets playing fast with good D! The mix of vets and youngstas is perfect! They are going to be a big problem for the media if they make the playoffs which I think they will!!
Amen Thomson learning to be the starting point for 2 seasons for now Jalen being the go to bucket getter whitmore attacking smaller players all being fed from the post by sengun is gonna be crazy
Rockets have so much young talent, and Udoka is the perfect coach for this young team. Amen is learning under Fred right now, but he will takeover the pg spot for Houston when the time comes. Same goes for Tari Eason in regards to the sf spot when Brooks tenure is up for Houston.
I wish Ausar was in a situation like amen…even tho he’s injured he still wasn’t getting good time…He proved to be an elite rebounder and defender same as amen they need to develop a shot to reach their superstar potential
He reminds me of Kuminga at this point in time. Yet Amen most definitely has better defence and IQ. Kuminga puts so much pressure on the rim and athleticism as an above the rim threat. Kuminga would be a better shooter but Amen just got in the league and his work ethic on every other attribute of his game gives me a lot of hope in him working on his shot to perfection.
Thompson’s IQ is through the roof. I love how he never celebrates too. Just business as usual. The line up I’d love to see when everyone’s healthy: Thompson Whitmore Eason Jabari Sengun
Amen needs a Jumper. It looks decent but if he becomes atleast a catch n shoot 3 point threat, and becomes stronger physically, he might just become monstrous.
Just got tickets from the company I work for to go to the Rockets game and let me tell you the young players the Rockets have as their core players are going to be something special for along time. Amen. Senguin. Jalen Green. Brooks. Smith Jr. Holliday. Tate. I know Ime Udoka & Stone knew exactly what they were doing when he came to Houston. The Rockets are one of the hottest teams in the NBA and I think they are just barely realizing how good they really are. They are have some special, special players.
the fact the Rockets got him AND Whitmore baffles me.
Crazy pickups
I understand why he lost draft stock but idk how fell all the way to 20th
Basketball Gods have finally blessed us 😂
you can thank the lakers for being so stupid with their draft picks
@@Mr_Exlaxhave finally blessed yall? Yall been blessed this whole rebuild with yall lottery luck
Thompson brothers are just built different.

@@therocklau yeah it’s definitely worth noting Amen has a fair bit more shooting, passing and overall IQ around him vs Ausar in Detroit. Both have crazy potential
Once they figure out how to shoot to league average they will last really long in the NBA
@@therocklau Amen has a knack for passing. I think Ausar is more of a scorer/defender but Amen has that extra dimension to him
@@himekomurata72 that is the biggest question - shooting. Their form is just not good.... and a lot of these super-gifted athletic players neglect shooting fundamentals.
Jalen Green, Amen Thompson, and Whitmore on the floor at the same time is going to be a headache for defenses to figure out
But they don’t play them all together those like they should
Wish they played all them together
Don't forget Alperen Senguon

They will never have a pure jump shot. Amen got a long way to go to the point, I don’t think he’d ever been a good shooter.
As a HUGE Rockets fan, I hope that Amen and Ausar will both be one of the best players, so they can be one of the best twins in NBA history
too bag he got a blood clot and gonna be out the season
Funny. Ausar has the better handle.

He needs to spend the entire offseason working on that shot. All he needs to be is an average shooter, and he'll be deadly.

Excellent breakdown thank you, my favorite player to watch with his bro next.
No, they are creating five monsters.

Facts, night and day difference with the development of our players. We really had talent just rotting under Stephen Silas smh
He's one of the better Popovich disciples. Figuring out how to maximize both Sengun and Green is his next challenge. Green shines at a fast pace, attacking the basket schemes. Sengun is a more methodical dude playing point center.

In all this I salute Draya for making a smart long term investment
Them Twins can finish good around the rim I noticed that in the summer league !!
He and Green are pretty exciting to watch.
This popped off you were right
Said it before the draft… he’s like a taller, longer more athletic Rondo. Absolute stud!
Amen already a top 5 defender in the league
He shows that Playing defense is a choice!

We setup like a McDonald’s all American team full of athletes our athleticism go far
he develops a shot hes a superstar
Their reaction time (including his brother) is just faster than at least 90% NBA players. They can see what's coming. Reminds me of J. kidd.
I don't think there's ever been a pair of brothers to make an all-defensive team in the same year. Amen and Asuar can quit literally be the first.
I hope Uma Udoka makes it happen in H-TOWN😊
Besides everything else, Amen is the cutter the Rockets needed.
His recent play has been the best stretch by any rookie this year in my opinion
A matchup nightmare and he’s not even 25 yet . This guy is a mini Wilt Chamberlain with a jumper
Imagine how much basketball you have to play to have those kinds of instincts?
Rockets finna be scary next year
Being 34, wish I was in great athletic shape like him. I'll be dunking everything at LA-Fitness.
Bros a guard and bullying power forwards and centers 💀
U need moments like this to keep u in the league for a very long time 4:18

this is the dude from 2kTV that would pay to see himself watch his younger self play as himself
The big difference between him and Ben Simmons to me is Amen actually seems to love basketball and willing to take shots
Udoka can coach his ass off
Jaylen green aint no joke.
