Is Amen Thompson the best prospect on the Rockets? If not, who is??
brother we've only seen him play 15 minutes
I think Amen is the best overall prospect since Yao. I saw a lot of the same things you mention in this video. One thing you didn’t mention is dudes mental state of compete Compete COMPETE! He gave zero F’s if it was Scoot or whoever. He’s locked in just flowing.
No question
As a Pistons fan I feel like Amen and segun are gonna be the best players on the team
It certainly looks that way... The playmaking ability of Amen and Sengun gives the rockets an advantage that a lot of teams won't have in a few years.
Really great analysis Frank. Amen will be the Rocket’s best draft pick since Hakeem. His combination of elite IQ, skills, athleticism, and defense create fear & warp defenses. He makes everyone around him better. His size and length make his upside higher than Scoot. What fun!
Cheerio !
I was very impressed by his play and he exceeded my expectations entirely. You know how some guys just visually look sort of out of control? They make you feel like they are going to turnover or take a wild shot. He has the look of complete composure and control. Very nice to see.
The skip to my Lou, to the shoulder push off was nuts, that’s like a lebron/prime Ben Simmons transition play
Franks analogy is great, Amen is fast processing like a Macbook pro, which has an interface for a superfast Harddisk, our old so called Pointguard was fast like a Floppy Disk on which you can on best circumstances play Frogger, which is a frog that regularly gets killed by fast cars. 😂
Man I love how this team construction is coming together i think this roster will play really well under udoka. If everyone buys in this team make alot of noise this season.
The Tompson brothers have full support from their family. We often overlooked the importance of the family aspect of an athlete. When I see the love showing from his parents and brother, I know Amen is confident and will have a bright future in this league.
The only Rocket that I can confidently say he will be a Superstar!!
Him & Jabari 4sure
I see a whole team of superstars
I hope he gets an average 20-25 minutes play time, and he could be in 23/24 Rookies first team.
Great breakdown, you know more hoop than I do. As I was watching Amen looked like a vet out there with the rookies, so it was nice to see your examples of what he was doing from a basketball x’s o’s.
JG is still the best prospect on the Rockets roster imo, bc he’s just the bucket-getter/scorer we’ll need in the playoffs to bail us out…when we’re a contender. Amen is a great all around player, but I still think his offensive game will be limited come playoffs or vs top defensive teams. However, I agree that we’ve found our PG of the future and he’s gonna make life easier for everyone around him. I think of Amen as the Pippen of the Bulls dynasty. As great as Jordan was, he never won without Scottie. Their defensive presence, high IQ, and playmaking just contributes to winning basketball. We found a gem in Amen🙏🏾!
@lionstruth8937 Amen is like a Lonzo Ball/Ben Simmons prototype before the injuries and mental stuff. Those type of guys are winning players, but never considered “the guy” on championship teams. They always need a MVP type player to feed off of. JG or maybe even Sengun are the only players with that type of upside on our team.
@lionstruth8937 you’re trippin 😂, Jalen would look like PRIME MJ in summer league rn. you are very co fused if you think amen is better than jalen right now today.
@lionstruth8937 Yes, Bulls were a better team with Lonzo playing, just like the Rockets will be good now that we have a PG. But Lonzo was still the 3rd or maybe even 4th best player on that team. Amen has a bright future, but he’s not the best player.
@@hoopmix9492 Exactly lol!
Amen will help Jalen reach his potential
I love the film breakdown and how you really get into Amen’s mind as he makes the different reads on the floor
That's why the midrange game to this day is so important! MJ and Kobe understand the importance of that.
Rockets got massic upgrade at the point this year, will see whether the outside shooting will get better and if they will become an above average difensive team.
Finally Frank put a spicy Cade take on wax: Amen clears Cade 😂
One game was all I needed to see. He knows what he's doing on a basketball court. He has Westbrook athleticism with near CP3's mental.Idc what position but put this kid on the court as much as possible.
I love these breakdown videos, its what separates CSG from all Rockets content!!! 🔥
Glad you like them!
Im excited to have Amen. Interested how much he uses his left hand considering he’s right handed. Makes him harder to guard.
Noticed he carry’s a lot on real plays/drives to score but I guess the new nba let players do that now days.
The media was hating on Thompson because of the league he played in but it was a better league than wemby was in
Sad that we traded KJ Martin. I would have loved to see Amem's court vision and passing skills paired with KJ's elite cutting skills and ability to run the floor. Could have been special connection, and think they could have waited to trade KJ at the trade deadline to see what that looks like.
Ya that would have been special
Frank, great video! I love the breakdown of his skillet. Amen has now replaced Jalen in my top three favorite rockets and he ain't even played a regular-season game yet.
I think this guy is the real deal...
Chop it up!!!!Love the New coach!!!! Love the Draft picks!Cant wait to see the new system in place!!!! Im excited for this season
Watching this video makes me sooooo ANNOYED that we won’t see Amen play till Early October……
Houston got one!! Great analysis per usual
Very excited with how Amen looked in his debut. I’m on board with him being our best prospect because I think he looks the most likely to be elite on both sides of the ball.
Great video. Amen Cam are going to fit in perfectly. New coach means a new system. Well, an actual system compared to the past tenure. I think Houston's speed and versatility is going to hurt other teams. I feel like Houston's talent is better than where Boston's was during there rebuild mode. Only comparing the two because of the coach. I want to wait til the season starts to see them play against actual stars. I believe this could be an exciting year where our team is actually contending.
Love your work... And you must have 1 of the best intros...
Amen Thompson reminds me of Penny Hardaway so much
Penny had a better jump shot
@@miked6523 he did, but Amen can develop that... But look at the way he attacks the basket, the passes in transition, the deception with the passes... I see it
Your breakdown videos are awesome. Im happy with everything you said. Strides in the right direction.
Oh yeah, the rockets found their future point guard. I expect Amen to win the starting job in 2 years. Rockets drafted a future star at 4.
Btw, excellent all around analysis. When I saw that you noticed the subtle rub screen from Amen on his drop off to Eason I subscribed immediately. Keep up the good work. #PorVida
I love the balance and versatility of our roster
Amen a dog can’t wait for the season to start
Great video. The kid can play
The assessment of PG play was SPOT ON. You know ball broadie. Respect.
Watch out for piston fans frank lol. Imagine if we got miller fall for us. Thank you MJ.
I’m excited for Sengun that’s my dude.
Amen Thompson is going to be elite.
Can Witmore looked rusty as.
Tari is looking scary. Pretty keen to see how he evolves.
I hope Jalen matures and grows.
I’m excited for all those guys but much more excited for Jabari! Only 20yrs old & has potential to be great on both sides of the floor🙌🏾
I cannot unhear “LOB THREAT”. Thanks Jackson
Great video brother 👏🏾👏🏾
Very good commentary. Will watch you more. Go Rockets!
Good looking out 😎
"Explodes into his chest" Ayo say pause 😂
This was great stuff.
No question the best prospect on our team. Even in terms of historically.. historically, his playstyle is the most sure fire
Pure truth! Solid vid!
If Ime gives the minutes to the deserving ones (as he always says); I think second half the season we can see different lineups. A starting lineup where Amen is PG, and FVV playing as SF along with Tari, Bari and Sengun would be very effective.
The Rockets are going to be champions, they are on their way.
PV!!! 💛💜. Definitely hitting that subscribe button bro ✊🏽
There we go
Bro
Amen
JG
KPJ
Jabari
About to have AL P on oxygen on timeouts
Seriously can you imagine how FAST their tempo will be !????
Imagine him working with LeBron and Chris Paul just to pick their brain on the cerebral side of the game and then he continues to work with shooting coaches to get and above average shot efficiency.
He might end up and all-time type point guard
Great video.
Im so pissed that he got injured and we aint gonna see him the rest of SL.
I would try the young uns…..
Offense/ Speed……Amen, Reed, Cam, Jabari, and Sengun…with Green and Tari…off the bench…..then run run run…transition
Defense / Slow………Adams, Tate, Dillon, Holiday, Van Fleet…with Griffin and Tari …off the bench….then tough, methodical.
Still need a back up strong Power forward with length and range and rim protector!! Trading Tate and Lockdale ….Jeff Green played this role …a younger version with shot blocking….can Adams still do it?? to help handle the bigs…in our division…
Biggest questions….are still on defense…Can Reed, Sengun, Cam and Green…play adequate defense to stay on the court together?? Which is why they need to run..tiring and stringing out the competition. Speed can beat height and beef..but we can’t hide our weaknesses against the better teams! Slowing it down and isolating our weaknesses will be their strategy ! Especially against the older teams….in the West….Clippers, Lakers, Suns, Warriors, Utah. Dallas….lot of maturity on these squads!
I haven't seen a kid with a high IQ like Thomson in a while
This is our point guard y’all our future looking good I hope Jalen , KPJ, and Bari ready for all these open looks Tari and Cam are dogs that have star potential Al-P is secretly the real franchise player we develop him correctly he is a mismatch monster offensively. Defensively I’m hoping we can also develop Bari , Sengun, and our other bigs we can run it up offensively on a bad night we need some rim protection and perimeter defense to be above average to compete for the playoffs.
“Gave him a skip and exploded into him” 6:43 the black suvs are on the way 🫡
😂 😂
Frank friendship with Scoot Henderson : ended
😂
Both of the Thompson Twins seem to be very smart guys with good work ethic and very mature for their age. I think Amen might be a better fit with the Rockets than Scoot would’ve been even though Scoot is probably the better player overall.
FT….boy you/y’all be editing your ass off (pause) lol
Appreciate you fam
Your analysis of Amen is really great. I was a big fan of him since OTE. I can't wait to see his two man game with Sengun or three man game between him, Sengun, Green/Jabari. That's gonna be fun.
Watching Cam, the first thing I said was the same as you. His attitude would be a problem. A bucketgetter but he takes a lot of low IQ choices
I noticed this dude finishes with opposite hand. Right side lay up, but he finishes with his left hand and vice versa. He's gotta work on that, Elite bigs in the NBA will eat those up on the regular..
PG - Fred VanVleet(UD) - Amen Thompson(#4) - Aaron Holiday(#23)
SG - Jalen Green(#2) - Kevin Porter Jr(#30)
SF - Dillon Brooks(#45) - Cam Whitmore(#20) - Jae'Sean Tate(UD)
PF - Jabari Smith Jr(#3) - Tari Eason(#17) - Jeff Green(#5)
C - Alperen Segun(#16) - Jock Landale(UD) - Boban Marjanovic(UD)
⛹️♂️Team is ready!⛹️♂️ Houston Rockets time for liftoff - 5 , 4 , 3 , 2 , 1.... 💥🚀🌎❇👨🚀
Just think the next 3 drafts HOU owns all of Brooklyn's 1st rd picks, HOU owns both of BKN's 2024 & 2026 1st rd picks and also in 2025 HOU has the option to swap with BKN in rd 1, so basically they have all 3 if they want too. Has anyone seen BKN's roster now? Lol it's bad, HOU is almost guaranteed a lottery pick over those years unless BKN figures something clever out real fast. BKN has 2 good players in Cam Johnson & Mikal Bridges(sorry if i misspelled) plus Ben Simmons. Where do you think BKN will finish in the standings? Playoffs? Lottery pick? Shot at top 10 pick? Top 3 lottery pick?
My big fear for him is that he has no mid-range game. Thats more important than hitting 3s
That was my fear that he wouldn't be a true point guard. That would just be a guard or a wing who can pass. However from what I seen kid is a legit pg. Dude can handle the rock and move ot. One thing that really impressed me is where he had a rebound and the first thing he did was put his head up and passed a laser of a dime. That's a true pg instinct right there. And good cause I'm not sure how well he would do off ball.
If Jalen don't play def, Amen will be closing games instead of Jalen
Amen needs to get a floater then the next play he hits a Floater 🤦🏽♂️😂
Facts, thats why the Payout they gave Van Vleet was Crazy. No Hting on Van Vleece, he got Fair Market Value but they Backcourt is Loaded like OKC. Anthony Black is this Draft's Lamelo.Deep Class, But Cam and Amen makes The NAUTS who im going with. Franchise? Vleece Outta there in 2K. Too Much Money. I need Youth
Udoka will play the best defenders. Amen will be pushing Green to pick up his defence. I'm seeing Amen taking Green's minutes more than anyone else's- unless Jalen picks up his defense. Fred may be playing more as a shooter. I expect Amen and Sengun to combine their gravity to get a lot of dunks and wide open shots for other players. Our field goal percentage is going to skyrocket. They are going to destroy poor defenses. If they both develop outside shots we won't be vying for a play-in we will be positioning for a legit playoff run. I think Udoka will want him on the court sooner than later just for the defense. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict Jabari averages 20+ points this season.
7:18 😂😂
You a PV grad? Wtf!
See ya KPJ!!! They just need to get rid of him. He is not going to be happy coming off the bench. Oh ya…Cam is a egotistical person too. I don’t like his selfishness and efficiency as shown in the 1st summer league game… can kind of see why he fell during the draft
He's our best shooter right now. Let's give him a chance at his natural position before we throw him away.
amen can be sf we have vanfleet
Have hakeem work with him like he worked with kobe
But his minutes will be limited with FVV, Green, Brooks all in front of him????
It looks like Amen lays up with the wrong hand on both sides of the basket. Cant over use that
Can I get an Amen?!
I’m not gonna lie.. the QB, defensive end, wr/cb comparison with our players was some of the best shit I’ve ever heard in my life I’m not glazing. You couldn’t have explained that ANY better. Jalen is a WR/CB.. Jabari is a DE.. both can change the game.. both can be all pro all star guys and are extremely vital to our teams performance.. but neither of those guys are a QB and until we got that, we’re just gonna have talented guys that don’t win. We now drafted our mahomes. Sensational comparison. I’ve BEEN subbed to this channel. But I’ma unsub then resub again. LIKE
😂 man I appreciate that foreal!!
Thompson will have to build up to starting and playing full time. With fatigue follows sloppiness and that's how players get injured.
I saw that too! And agree
But can he shoot.
LMAO 😂 J. GREEN is a ball hog, limited passer and NEEDS the ball in his hands to produce points. GOOD LUCK with that. (YOU will need it) DET -vs- EVERYBODY. 😉
Darn dude is not a demi-god athlete. You all need to stop that mess. There's only ONE GOD and His name is Jesus Christ. I was going to subscribe, but I don't support foolishness.
From a fellow Christian this has nothing to do with worship or bringing into question the diety of Christ. It is used metaphorically. We realize that no athlete is in the realm of the one true God. This was strictly in a basketball context. When u see us actually worshiping and praying to an athlete this point would be valid. But it’s not. I love your Christian values but you kinda off base with this one. God bless you 🙏
@@TheWordandI Although you may disagree, it's this kind of credence to verbiage that we should be cautious to use. I'm not off; even though I understand your metaphor, however, its origin and context in adequately describing his talents are idolatrous by definition. Born of man and God has no application with fallen man. Go look at how athletes in Ancient Greece and Rome were deified and worshiped. That verbiage ties directly with it, and we shouldn't give it credence. I'm not here to go back and forth, but I will be subscribing and will support you as long as you support righteousness on all fronts. Keep up the good work.
