Amen & Ausar Thompson - Potential 2022 NBA Draft Guys

[Big J]

These twins have proven a ton in summer league. Lotta dudes are gonna be dead wrong about them. The poor competition excuse aint gonna fly no more. Anyone with eyes could see that their athleticism & skills popped off the screen.

We just need 2 of the 4 (Cade, Ausar, Ivey,Duren) to reach All-star level so we can have a solid foundation for a while.

All of a good shot. Ausar has super star potential though. You guys are building something very special up there. I think people forget Cade is only 21 also

No thanks

I guess its still possible but that feels like a longshot

"Just" 2? I think you'll be lucky if one of them becomes a legit All-Star. It's not a given for any of these players.

Well thats what were gonna need. Cade seems like the best talent and Duren seems the safest at reaching his potential for his role.

You’ve been hating on these kids from day 1. Don’t try sneaking on the bandwagon now brother.

It's not a given, but no Pistons fans would call themselves "lucky" when Cade becomes a legit All-Star. It's more of an expectation, probably in the same way you expect Paolo to be.

And I wouldn’t expect it is my point. Hoping is one thing, but placing these expectations upon him after his first two seasons is setting everybody up to fail imo. Hopefully for you guys, one of these players becomes elite. I think it’d be a great outcome for the franchise. Cheers.

And anyone with eyes could tell they were playing against poor competition. There were very few people in this thread who had them lower than 10-12 (for Ausar) and 4-8 (for Amen), people recognized the skills. But Amen's jumper didn't develop at all that we saw with them, and they would have more experience in high-pressure situations if they were in a real league. All of that can be true and they can be awesome. Heck, I think I was one of the most skeptical people on the level of competition they were facing and I had Amen 4th and Ausar 7th on my big board...

You're missing the point.

The point is, this thread is 24 pages long and the vast majority of those pages are discussing the level of comp in the OTE - when what really matters the most when evaluating these prospects are the skills, the talent these players have, basketball IQ, court vision, how much of a will to win do they have, upside, athleticism, quickness, athleticism, ball handling, size, wingspan, maturity level, coachability, work ethic, etc. Those are the things we should have been discussing.

It's difficult to analyze all those things against terrible competition.

It's why we get guys in here predicting the EJ Onu's of the world are the next Dwight Howard with a 3pt shot.

It's difficult to analyze all those things against terrible competition.

Perhaps to a novice scout it is.

It sure wasn't difficult for Troy Weaver or Rafael Stone.

You have no idea if that's true. You realize that right?
