Like I said I like this kid, but cannot imagine taking him over Scoot. They put up similar statlines, but Amen did it vs highschoolers while Scoot was a 19 year old against grown men.

Amen is who I think we should draft. I want him for us. He is not my pick (because I want more of an underdog) but I would draft him if I were GM

If the pick for some crazy reason is him. I will not be mad for any reason. These twins in general could be special.

I'm still rooting for him. He made me a fan. I hope he's better than Scoot.

I had him over Scoot tbh, but I know I am a hater lol.

Wemby-Miller-Amen-Scoot-Ausar- Walker were my top 6

Could have seen him being my favorite player this draft, but I just don't believe in overtime elite. Could be massively proven wrong.

I love everything about Amen, except he can't shoot. He's capped as a current Ben Simmons until he does, and his form is so bad it's going to take a long time.

Speaking of the Rockets. Their roster is horrendous. None of their players fit together, and Amen is only effective with the ball...as is Green...as is KPJ...They have a lot of work to do. I still want to rescue Eason from them

Amen is my wildcard pick for best player in the draft for sure. But, like KingCat, I was scared off by not being able to properly gauge his ability against Overtime Elite's inferior competition.

Going to Houston is an awful outcome for him, imo. Luckily he seems to be a self-motivated kid, so maybe he can overcome that logjam and difficult development environment.

Technically I was, I made him the pick hours before the draft lol.

But shoutouts to you and the others that were with him from the start. Games still gotta be played so he could bust.
