I think he also started at PG and SF for the Rockets in preseason. This kid is going to be special.

I'm a big proponent of both Thompson twins tbh. I hope Ausar can come back from his medical issues.

He can legitimately play all 5 positions. Yup, kid is gonna be special indeed. True definition of Swiss Army knife.

I'm trying to think of the last true multi tool player that can play all 5 spots like we've seen like Amen.

Boris Diaw?

I don’t think we’ve seen a true comp to Amen in a singular package. He’s like a magic potion mix of players:

• Athleticism & cat-like quickness in the open floor, with height, like Penny Hardaway

• Strength, rigid body, and defensively quick hands like Ron Artest

• Can screen & roll, and play out of the dunkers spot, with a quick 2nd jump for offensive rebounds at only 6’7” like Shawn Marion

• Can guard 1-5 like Draymond Green

• Can run PG without the ability to shoot from outside, like prime Ben Simmons
