Will the Hornets Put the Scoot vs. Miller Debate on Another Team and Trade the No. 2 Pick?
The Thompson brothers’ performance in the Overtime Elite League has not gone unnoticed. While the league’s gameplay can sometimes be more relaxed, the twins have consistently demonstrated their skills on various platforms. They’ve played internationally, participated in tournaments and pro comps, and faced off against other international teams over the past two years.
Their athleticism is their greatest strength and will undoubtedly shine on any stage they step onto. Amen, in particular, seems poised for success with the Houston Rockets, given his ability to fit into their fast-paced, athletic style of play.
Ausar, on the other hand, might face a more variable draft outcome. While he’s currently favored to go fifth, he could slide as low as 10th or 11th. The competition in his skill range is stiff, with players like Cam Whitmore, Taylor Hendricks, and Jaris Walker boasting similar skill sets.
Regardless of where the Thompson twins end up in the NBA Draft, they’ve proven they have the talent to make a significant impact. Tomorrow night, the NBA world will watch eagerly as these dynamic players take the next step in their promising careers.
