Man I think they/we really overthinked things with Amen bc of the OTE affiliation. He might be a star
With Jabari….wrong era
He ain’t never getting a chance to handle the rock like that. They’re gonna turn him into Clint capela
Yeah, dude not only got the court vision, but he's
really good, maybe even
special (I hate labeling that so early) at "looking off the pass". I got a sense of it watching the tape, but seeing him work the floor with his eyes at the court-level where you get a view of how other players would watch him really shows it. Dude is going to thrive in Houston with that team and is exactly who that team needed. They basically needed someone who can point people where to go on the court or who'll put them in the best places to get baskets and I think that dude is it.
Scoot would've been great too, but many people said when it comes to pure courtvision and playmaking that Amen may be more advanced. Nonetheless, I still think half the equation is finding the right fit and I don't really know if dude would've made as much sense to any of those teams in the top 3 as much as it would've for Houston. Sharpe and Aen would've been great, but Scoot and Sharpe is a great backcourt. The thing about Houston is they already got a shytload of scorers, they just needed the purely unselfish floor general.
