Watching Amen play with this core shows the different types of athleticism on the team in Amen, Green, and Cam.


They’re athletes for sure but there flaws show up way to strongly sometimes. and that goes for Ausar too. That’s prolly why I’m high on Cam becaue his skillset is more evident and grounded than Amen and Jalen’s. Naturally a better scorer than both of them but just too young at the moment and then the coaching doesn’t help any of them get better

Both have potential to be defensive monsters on the wing and the glass. I thought they’d be a little more polished offensively but they’re still a little rough around the edges.

I haven’t seen huge offensive upside watching their game but they are skilled across the board in every other faucet of the game. Both absolute dogs too

Zion not even in the convos in 2025 :mjlol:.... His athleticism been on steady decline wit injuries over years. He still very athletic but not in best athlete talks no more. This ain't Duke Zion which then I could see it but 2025 Zion? Hell nah



NBA players round the league takin notice now. Adams played wit Russ and Ja and said he ain't never seen athleticism like Amen. LeBron one of the most athletic humans ever said those bois different.

Them nikkas move different. I don't even know how to describe it but that shyt be looking effortless and they just glide with it. They got a lot to develop as far as basketball skills, but they maximizing what they can do with their athleticism. And it's not just run/jump shyt. They quick as hell laterally and with second jumps too. It seems like there's virtually no load up for them to sky.

They don't gather or build up to doing peak athlete shyt. It'll just be light jog or something and they in the air while everyone else still trying to get their feet right.
