Amen still clears.
I tend to think outside of the upper echelon of rim deterrent the athletic SF/PF tweener is the most important defensive chess piece: Thompson Twins, Tari, Aaron Gordon, Draymond, Scottie Barnes, Sochan, Trey Murphy type of guys.
dang, I honestly think Ausar will be a better defender than amen.
💯
