Nah, as good as a perimeter defender you can be, it’s almost impossible to be better than an elite big rim protector who can also guard the perimeter, even Dyson Daniels who’s averaging like 7deflections (Wich is insane), and 3 Steals+ 1 Block doesn’t impact the game nearly as much as Wemby, AD, Draymond, Mobley, Bam, Gobert, JJJ, Chet or Jonathan Isaac imo… Even bigs who can’t guard the perimeter at all but who are elite rim protector like Brook Lopez, Porzingis, Kessler or Clingan can impact the game just as much if not more than a guy like Amen.. For me there should be 2 different DPOY, 1 for bigs (5 and 4) and 1 for wings/guards (3, 2, 1). And yeah, Amen is definitely a Top 5 wings/guards defender
Tari is more instinctive and cunning...they do it differently, Brooks is a hardnose bulldog with a swagger. All 3 are different but compliment each other because of their differences.
Amen thompson, dyson daniels, cason Wallace, so many young guys who are just swallowing their opponent whole. Meanwhile haters are crying there is no defence in todays game...
Someday he’s going to look back and realize that wearing just one pantyhose was NOT the fashion look he was hoping it was. But he’s a beast on defense.
Except that he plays. Seriously though, I hope Ausar gets on the court again soon and has his time to shine too! They will be known as the best twins the NBA has ever seen, no question.
Amen is my favorite player in the league and he does so many things well. He is one of the best defenders and it's not even close, but Ausar, his twin brother is an even better defender. Ausar's defense is otherworldly!!
Dwight ? The 6’10 280 superman guy with a 39 inches vertical ? 😂Only guy who reminds me of Dwight is AD, Amen is more like a MJ, ANT, D.White, Jimmy Butler, young Lebron or a quicker more athletic Jrue or Marcus Smart
@ AD??? You mean glassman???? Naw men. Davis ain’t even close to Dwight. Amen actually moves and plays D in the paint. The guys you mentioned are all great but I haven’t seen them thriving in the paint the way amen does on defense.
Ausar is the better defender, but Amen is pretty amazing. If there was no Ausar I would say Amen is the best, but I have seen Ausar's defense and I think Ausar plays probably the best all around non-center defense that I have seen.
It's true. I think even Amen would admit that. I think Amen is the better all around player, but Ausar is the better all around defender. It's just that he has not been playing for the last 10 months and people have short-term memories.
Amen!
🙏
Hallelujah
It takes insane amount of patience and reflexes to not bite into the pump fakes, while being able to react in time for the actual shot.
5:06 in a split second amén went from not even looking at Cade to being right in his grill. He’s so quick
I haven’t realize how much this man is blocking the absolute shit out of people 😂😂😂😂 straight sent some of those balls flying 😂
This guy’s defensive skill set is insane.
There is literally no one he can’t shut down
He's so consistent, every damn night he's putting in a mad shift.
He actually thinks about what he is doing, he’s very aware and plays timely defense
@@williamdavis9562Wemby has entered the chat.
@@sinastir7688 Yes I have a feel these two guys will be fighting for DPY for a long time.
Imagine they were on the same team? Hell it almost happened.
Amen Thompson is literally the definition of a Lockdown Defender! 🔒 Amen is a straight up menace on the defensive end!
I’m 100% an amen Thompson believer. I really can’t wait to see this guys ceiling he is so exciting to watch.
Payton Watson and Amen Thompson two great defenders.
Great analysis of Amen Thompson. Thanks!
Amen Thompson’s going to be a Hall of famer.
Easy now
I'd take that bet. He's just going to keep getting better. His shot is quite improved and he'll keep making it softer and better.
Great analysis, liked your video, definitely deserves more views. keep it up
No joke, dude's probably the best defender in the league NOW.

He might be the best defender in the league right now if I’m being honest
His brother is actually better.
@@Iheartbaylor I definitely wouldn’t say that
@@hangtimeprod Ausar just isn't a block machine. He's definitely the better defender.
Whats crazy is tgat there are 2 of them with tari.. but amen is more athletic and faster
And then add D Brooks into the mix 🚀
Tari is more instinctive and cunning...they do it differently, Brooks is a hardnose bulldog with a swagger. All 3 are different but compliment each other because of their differences.
Love both the Thompson brothers I can see them in the league for 20 years
A-mence!
A-menace
He and Eason are game changers.
Great time to be a Rocket's fan.
Yes, Amen Thompson and Dyson Daniels of ATL
haaaaa he's also too humble in the team! Rockets going so well! Good job Udoka!!
craziest thing is… he’s not even our best defender. Its Tari Eason
Amen thompson, dyson daniels, cason Wallace, so many young guys who are just swallowing their opponent whole. Meanwhile haters are crying there is no defence in todays game...
My favorite player by far
great vid man
I appreciate that! What do you enjoy about the video?
Amen 🙏🏻
0:47 that carry has to be called. it's too bad
Someday he’s going to look back and realize that wearing just one pantyhose was NOT the fashion look he was hoping it was. But he’s a beast on defense.
He plays a lot like Ausar Thompson..
Except that he plays. Seriously though, I hope Ausar gets on the court again soon and has his time to shine too! They will be known as the best twins the NBA has ever seen, no question.
@@akdoc2003 nah the boozers got that
Amen is my favorite player in the league and he does so many things well. He is one of the best defenders and it's not even close, but Ausar, his twin brother is an even better defender. Ausar's defense is otherworldly!!
he's gonna get even better !!!!
I promise every time I see Amen guarding the star or main ball carrier they always try to set a high screen to get another defender 😂
Serious business
Dyson and Amen the future of defense
can you make more rockets videos this was tuff
Who you want next?
Can guard 1 through 5...... I thought watching him last year that this might be coming. What happens if he keeps improving on the offensive end?
He's just like his brother Ausar.💯
He reminds me of prime Dwight on defense.
Dwight ? The 6’10 280 superman guy with a 39 inches vertical ? 😂Only guy who reminds me of Dwight is AD, Amen is more like a MJ, ANT, D.White, Jimmy Butler, young Lebron or a quicker more athletic Jrue or Marcus Smart

@@BigMike-Soetoro Ok casual, next.
Amen rc cards 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕
Glad he is a Rocket.
Imagine both twins are teammates and both are on the floor 😂
A DPOY and many 1st team all defensive's loading!
I'd like to watch a team of Suggs, Dyson, Amen, OG and Wemby try to win a game by shutting down the opposing team.
What makes him different is he averages a double double off the bench
If this guy gets a consistent jumper, he’ll instantly be the next Kawhi Leonard
rocketsss 🐍 lisp killing you my boy
Needs to be starting w tari!
Already the best non big
Some people disagree with me when I said he was better than Herb Jones…🤷🏾♂️
A lot of people have not really seen Amen play yet.
Short answer: YES
What happened to Herb Jones?
😅
injury
clamp city
3rd Rockets player EVER to get back-to-back +3 blocks and steals in consecutive games....Hakeem and Horry are the others
I’m dead ass he plays like a smaller Giannis
6th man of the year
Wow guess Ausar is yesterday's news.
Read the title, then looked at the thumbnail and thought.....that doesn't look like Dyson Daniels.
Dyson is a beast but Amen is next level because he is a top 1% athlete. Really him and Wemby(top 1% height) are in a class of their own.
Next Kawhi Leonard
I think good comps are Shawn Marion and peak Gerald Wallace. Initially thought of peak Kawhi or OG, but neither provided this much verticality.
fighting for second behind wemby. houston ain’t got it like that
Yall really think Amen is a better defender than Ausar??
Ausar is the better defender, but Amen is pretty amazing. If there was no Ausar I would say Amen is the best, but I have seen Ausar's defense and I think Ausar plays probably the best all around non-center defense that I have seen.
@@Fetemart No doubt. Amen amazing. He's better on offense than Ausar.
@@Iheartbaylor Agreed!
Next best? Who’s the current best? Do they still give out definitive player awards? Gotta be joking with this bs
His brother a better defender
🤔
Then where is he?
It's true. I think even Amen would admit that. I think Amen is the better all around player, but Ausar is the better all around defender. It's just that he has not been playing for the last 10 months and people have short-term memories.
@@Anthony-h7c1xinjured
@@Fetemart Not disagreeing, but until he can get and stay on the court hard to argue for it.
