Amen XLNC Thompson is a Problem

[I AM WARHOL]

This kid is a monster . Might be the best athlete I’ve ever seen. Defensive instincts through the roof. And he’s just scratching the surface. Right now he’s absolutely putting nikkas in jail. If the Rockets ever truly let him run the show, watch out, cause the only thing better than his defense, imo, is his passing. If he keeps up his current play, he should be in DPOY contention. He’s what people thought Ben Simmons was but way better and zero fear. He’s still got glaring weaknesses in his game (handle, shooting) yet he’s still one of the most impactful players in the league due to his IQ, athleticism, and effort. The sky is the limit for this man

Gotta respect he and his brother. Last year class had a bunch of special athletes/ defenders. Amen, Ausar, Bilal, Anthony Black and of course Wemby.

Can be special and a DPOY like very soon…

I was worried about his lack of jumper holding him back but dude is a monster. He should be a permanent starter. He's going to have a few 5X5. he's been pretty close

Putting on a masterclass right now

the hoops version of a defensive back*

Dude ain’t no pg. Houston don’t have high turnovers games like this. He’s a starter but he ain’t the pg of the future for this squad

 

[Flight]

He can be a top 15 player in the league. He’s the guy..it’s all there. Sky is the limit

WTF is up with their middle names? I had to check and see if that was really his name, and I see it’s both him and his brother’s.

His 9-14 foot middy will be good enough that I don't care about whatever happens from 3. Too strong, too fast, too athletic, and you don't have to worry about him being assertive like prime Ben.

28-10-5 with All-NBA defense is realistically on the table.

Ben Simmons but with heart. Houston got one

Ima keep it a stack, I don’t see 28 ppg in his future. Especially with the rockets. But a good 23-8-7 is not impossible

If he peaks as that offensively and on the other side as potentially being the best perimeter defender in the world…franchise player
