I know people really like the twins, but I’m not high on either of them. I have them both rated below Walker & Whitaker. I could probably be talked into Grady Dick and Taylor Henderson as well.

I've had them below Walker and Whitmore all year, but I might have Amen up there. I think Amen is special athletically, but I also have no faith in his jumper. I think you can be really good even without a jumper, but it's a serious limitation.

I can’t wait for the lotto.once it shakes out it will be pretty interesting if the team with the fourth pick doesn’t need a pg…

I think teams with a PG will still draft Amen if they think he is BPA. Not like he is positionally bound due to size.

I get that... its the shooting that becomes a bigger issue if he is offball more. The person with the ball has some gravity automatically.

I think enough teams will have doubts on the Thompsons that if say the Pacers or Hornets end up 4th there will be a trade up opportunity. Might be more like trading back from #4 to 6 or 7... but I could see someone moving that pick.

I could see us trying to trade up for Amen if he was available, probably not possible though.

Even if #4 doesn’t have a PG, they could have someone else higher. I think Amen will be a polarizing player amongst front offices. Some may have him 2 or 3. Others might avoid him entirely. It will be interesting for sure.
 
There going to be at least one team who has someone else besides Amen as the second best PG.
 
NBA teams arent going to like Amen Thompson is a wild take. When he gets in a workout with them they are going to adore him.

Maybe if he doesn’t shoot a jumper in his workouts. Otherwise, I would bet on at least one team liking someone else.

What pick do you think we would need to give up for DFS?

I would only consider the Sixers pick. And for those that are bad at keeping track of time, DFS is already 29 (and we don't have anyone with the chops or the gravity of Luka setting the table for him).

On the other hand i have watched ostertag and gobert drain threes in warmups and practices. If Amen is shooting threes in an empty gym with no defender then im betting he make a ton. All nba players are great shooters in an empty gym.
