Ppl starting to see what I say about Amen yeah he has numbers but he’s about a max player currently. If . He can be ignored on offfense. I don’t care what any basketball fan or Rockets fan says, dude is not a max player. He can’t run an offense, he can’t stop the offense from bleeding, and he lacks a bag. San Antonio did exactly what Denver did to Houston when they crushed them. They threw Jokic on him and clamped Houston. The reason we beat Denver and San Antonio was because Reed showed up and put on for the Rockets. When the opps have to actually pay attention to another scorer outside of Kd and sengun, Houston is at its best. Unfortunately Reed is consistently at that level of being that threat all game. I won’t say never because he’s still young but I don’t think Amen will ever have that respectable perimter shot that all these analysts keep saying will make him unstoppable once he develops it.
Anthony black has developed more than Amen on offense. His jumper ain’t that great either but he has more of a bag than Amen. He can get downhill more easily than Amen because he has a stronger driver/handles.
Ppl bring up the Boston game-winner to defende Amen but if you watch the play he caught Boston inthe middle of a defensive breakdown which cause Jalen Brown to get off balance. If Brown is actually able to square up properly against Amen, that’s a negative possession for Houston because Amen ain’t beating squared up solid defender like Jalen Brown off the dribble in iso for a bucket. Not in a halfcourt offense setting where the defense is set
