I liked Amen more than Ausar due to his seemingly better ability to run an offense, his aggression driving to the basket and passing out of it if he was stopped. I can't prove it but I think I had him #2 after Wembanyama with Ausar lower at maybe 8th with a role player outlook. I can't remember but I think it was Wembanyama, Amen, Miller, Scoot, Coulibaly, Walker, Ausar, Wallace, George, Hendricks for my top 10. Scoot being terrible is a huge surprise. Walker not playing is another. I thought he was plug and play but they went out and got Toppin and Siakam inexplicably so he's blocked big time. Not really sure why they bothered to draft Walker if they didn't love him.
I thought they were both (twins) potentially elite defensively with their size, length and athleticism. I figured it'd take a few years for them to become respectable shooters but there was a real possibility it wouldn't happen and it'd prevent Amen in particular from becoming a star but both would be at worst 6th men types that played major minutes like Marcus Smart.
Very top heavy draft class but deep in role players. A good not great class like everyone else was saying.
