[Iko] Amen Thompson: “I put a lot of hours in with (lead assistant) Ben Sullivan just on my jump shot and I feel way more confident than I did even going into summer league. Over time, I know I’ll be a great shooter.”

Ben + Amen = Prime Rose + Post-Prime Rose 3pt Shooting + few inches
Another good bit:
> One area it opens up is playmaking. Where do you see yourself fitting in alongside gifted passers like Fred VanVleet and Alperen Şengün, guys who will have the ball in their hands? How can you aid the process of making Houston an efficient half-court offensive unit?
>Playing with guys like VanVleet and Şengün, they also can run an offense. Just having that many playmakers on the court, people who can make plays for others, it makes it easier for you. I could see a (Nikola) Jokić thing with a lot of players with Şengün — a lot of backdoor cuts. Şengün’s a great passer, VanVleet’s a great leader. Seeing already how he can control a game, I’m learning a lot from him. He’s also a great passer. I feel like we have a little two-man game already.
It’s easier to train the body than the mind. He has the mind, as long as he puts in the work and effort he has all the potential in the world.
They done gave Amen Thompson a jump shot 😭
He’ll be best player from this draft 5 years from now
We got 7 foot Sengun and now Amen with a jumpshot???? WHO GONNA STOP US THIS SEASONNNNN
I know it’s sunshine pumping season but I’ll believe it when I see it. It usually takes a lot longer for someone to completely rework their jumpshot and his was broken in every way possible. It’ll probably be worse than before in terms of percentage and will take a few off seasons to become respectable.
