Sequence prediction: top five
Advantages:
1. Elite sports ability. Open speed, fast movement rate, strong body control ability, strong first-step driving and ball burst, strong vertical bounce. Amen is even faster when controlling the ball, and he can maintain control through movements. He can use the fast and slow movements to move freely on the court, occupy a favorable position in the conversion attack, and play ball on the rim easily.
2. Excellent passer, good at reading game organizers. Amen can pass all kinds of passes, and the game style is selfless. As a point guard, he has enough height. With his height, he can pass the ball from a high angle over the defense.
3. Be able to get on the ball quickly after stealing and grabbing the defensive rebound. Amen can cooperate well with big sports players, and can also attack in person and feed the ball to the inside.
4. Good at putting pressure on the ball, traversing and bypassing cover. Amen has solid basic defense skills, active hands, and can actively cut the ball or interfere with the opponent’s rhythm. He can provide stable defense when the team needs it.
5. Amen can always make the right choice when needed. Yogueta relieve a garrison entered the paint area to break through defense. His explosive power could help him protect the basket, and he also had enough speed to defend to three point line. If a big player tries to back him, he will try his best to stop the opponent.
Disadvantages:
1. Defenders have dared to shoot Amen. He will also encounter the same thing in NBA. His opponent will bypass the cover by moving down or choose to retreat when he makes a fixed shot. The projection of Yogueta has not improved, and the adaptation problem between him and the team will become complicated, just like Ben Simmons.
2. There is almost no reason to think that amen can become a qualified shooter. He still has a lot of room for improvement in jump shots, and his shooting skills will determine whether he is an excellent NBA player or a reliable NBA player. He struggled on the 3-point projection and free throws, and even he struggled on the field. He showed his willingness to improve his playing style, but in fact it did not improve.
3. Amen also needs to prove himself. He chose OTE League (OTE is a professional basketball league for teenagers aged 16-20) rather than college basketball. Now he wants to prove to the scouts that he can play in a higher level of confrontation. Amen showed some bad habits in defense, and there were also many immature places and many mistakes in transmission and control. At the same time, he had to prove that he was a half-time scorer.
Summary:
To sum up, Amen-Thompson is a tall defender with excellent athletic ability and passing vision. On the offensive side, he can easily break through the defense line and finish the end on RIM in various ways. At the same time, he is also a selfless opportunity creator. On the defensive end, he is solid enough for single defense and coordination, and can easily complete the snatching and capping. However, as a defender, Amen’s struggle in shooting is very obvious, and the stability of transmission control is not good either. At the same time, Amen’s experience is insufficient, and the strength level of OTE league will also be questioned. However, Amen, as a rare tall defender who can combine elite sports ability with excellent organizational talent, even though his jump shot cannot make substantial progress in a short period of time, his rising space is also hard to be rejected.
