Also, just wanted to mention... a few folks here seem really convinced on Amen here. It is likely that nba teams are less sure about the dude than you all are. I can see him going 5 or 6 on draft night as uncertainty = risk and NBA GMs are generally very risk averse. Dude is awful at the most important skill for a perimeter player to have... he played in a league that level of competition is suspect at best. He seems like a good dude and likely will be much more successful than Exum and the last few years of Ben Simmons.... but he is the type of dude that gets GMs fired... either because they pick him and he disappoints... or they pass on him and he becomes a bigger version of Ja Morant.

Amen is a very intriguing prospect...but the bad shooters and other players he's being compared to are like Curry compared to him. I think NBA teams have a right to be skeptical, some teams are just going to take him off their list because they don't want to take on that risk and uncertainty.

Beyond that, I think Cam Whitmore is a fantastic prospect. I'm not at the point where I'm putting him ahead of Brandon Miller as a wing prospect, but I don't think it's totally crazy given his youth and tougher circumstances at Nova. There's no shortage of potential with Whitmore.

I also really think the thumb injury is something to watch. I have played with sprained thumbs a few times on my off hand and dribbling/shooting is a bitch with a wrap or brace on. Having to wear in on your shooting/dominant hand... I just think he powered through a bunch of different circumstances there and is slept on a bit.

I got him with the 25th pick in the first mock draft. It will be interesting to see where he lands in real life.

lol his skillset was hyped enough had he never played next to that no talent *** clown Anthony Black that he would have gotten lottery looks. I don't think he is a lottery lock, but I bet NSJ doesn't fall nearly as far as Black does.

did you get bunker sand in your eyes? they already drafted Dick and another wing and now a 3rd one? Doesn't work that way lol
they are far more likely to drafted Sidy or Miller not poor Grady at 10th overall anyway this guys handles are worse than Brandon Millers who also aint going that high now smh.
I say they trade the last 2 to move up.
