I said the same thing when we drafted him therefore I am on the same BBall IQ level of udoka
Definitely who him and his brother remind me off just way more shifty . Defense and playmaking is easy for amen
people clown simmons about his scoring and shooting (mostly rightfully i would say) but he has been an:
elite passer(career 7.5 ass)
elite rebounder(career 8reb)
elite defender(multiple all defensive selections)
which Amen has already shown flashes of being potentially elite at all these 3 also. He just has to add at least a consistent set shot to not be a liability in the halfcourt offense. If he can do that next season the way jabari has been shooting so much better year 2, you have your definite 3 starters in Amen-Jabari-Alpi out of the 5 for the future.
Ben Simmons with aggressiveness driving to the rim and the work ethic to develop his shot would have been a scary player
