Only 65 starters! Amen became the third point guard in the league, and the Rockets media praised the new season

The biggest surprise of the Rockets this offseason is not the low price to get Durant, but the evolution of the team's two potential stars Amen and Shin Kyung, who will continue to improve the Rockets' strength. Shin Kyung won crazy in the European Championships and led Türkiye without losing all the way, and tied the game to the quarterfinals. He also defeated Jokic's Serbia and had the hope of reaching the top. Among them, Shin Kyung's three-pointers were greatly improved, his defense was more flexible, and his offensive end was unstoppable.

Amen has been practicing three-pointers all offseason. His defense is the top level in the league. If he develops a three-pointer, the Rockets will be invincible. The most incredible thing is that after Jaylen Green was traded to the Suns, Amen seemed to be positioned as a shooting guard by the outside world. In the latest ranking of US media "FADEWAY", Amen Thompson ranks third in the league's spotbacks, with Edwards and Mitchell in the top two. However, Amen has only started 68 games in two seasons, but has received such recognition from the outside world.

We can only say that the Rockets selected Amen with the No. 4 pick in 2023, which is a good operation at the historical level, and he is indeed a cornerstone. Even the Rockets media "Sleeper Rockets" couldn't help but praise Amen. He reposted the US media's ranking of Amen's point guards today and praised him very much. Rockets media believe that if Amen can increase the three-pointer to the league average of 35%, then the Rockets and Durant's critical moment will end the Death Scythe and both offense and defense will be improved by explosively. Compared with Jaylen Green, Amen is more like a super giant.

As we all know, Green has been on the spot for four years. This time, facing the Warriors in the playoffs, he was unable to even play singles, so he asked Rockets general manager Stone to stop loss and send him away for Durant. It can be regarded as the success of Green's contract as a meat ticket, while Amen is becoming more and more terrifying every year. In the second season, Amen increased his rookie average of 9+6+2 per game to 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 breaks and 1.3 blocks. With three more shots, Amen scored nearly 5 points, his shooting percentage increased by 2%, and his three-pointers increased from 14% to 28%.

Analysis based on the Fire Dragon Family, James is the Fire Spit Dinosaur, Simmons is the Fire Dinosaur, and Amen is the Little Fire Dragon. But now Amen has evolved into a fire dinosaur, completely surpassing Simmons. In fact, Simmons is almost retired. There was news that Bensi broke up with his agent and no longer wanted to play. But even Benxi, who is at the peak, cannot compare to Amen now. In fact, Amen is only 22 years old this year, and he does possess the talent of James. Amen is 2.03 meters tall and weighs 100 kilograms. He can pass the ball like James on the offensive end, and use his core strength and explosion to end.

Amen started out as a point guard, and his organization was not bad. This is what we have always said. If Shepard doesn't work, Amen will play point guard in the future. Needless to say, Amen was selected for the best defense team the next year. His three-point improvement is also terrifying. No matter from any angle, Amen is a superstar. Because it's really a huge piece, you don't need to look at it for 4 years, and you can see it in the first year. It can be said that I can become a super player in 23 years, I think it is Wenban Yama and Amen.

Just as Rockets reporter Bradeaux said when forwarding the training photos of Wenban Yama today, he said that if the Rockets did not have Amen Thompson, he would envy the Spurs for owning Wenban, and having Amen made the Rockets feel that they had found a bargain. After all, they were only the No. 4 draw but they were the only super giant. The top scorer is the second place Miller, Tanhua Henderson, and the fourth pick. If anyone can become a superstar in the future, I think Amen and Wenban will be far ahead. Fortunately, the Rockets won’t be the 23rd year of the game, otherwise Stone would really choose Henderson, and the Rockets fans would have to break the defense. Imagine igniting the backcourt of Henderson and Jaylen Green in the two-way group. The Rockets really can't turn over. It was Amen who gave the Rockets another expectation point outside Shin Kyung.
