- Ausar Thompson is breaking the #nba
There’s only 5 players in NBA history to record over 40 rebounds and 10 blocks in their first 10 games, 4 centers who would win MVP and Ausar Thompson, a 6’ 7” shooting guard
Ausar Thompson is breaking basketball, ***plain and simple**.*
Ausar was the 5th pick of this year’s draft. Last year, he was in the overtime league where we were unsure about how he would stand up to NBA competition. His twin brother Amen was thought to be the better brother and while Ausar was hyped, he was almost overshadowed, but what makes him so different already is piece #1, he’s embarrassing some of the best NBA players 15 games in.
Defense is usually one of those things you have to learn when you come to the NBA. Players can tell you their welcome to the league moment which is usually getting embarrassed by an NBA star dropping buckets on them.
In the history of the league, there are only 36 NBA rookies to make the all-defense team, none in the 2000s.
So when we see a guard not only having highlights blocking Joel Embiid as help defense, but also being matched up with stars every night and annoying them, we need to take a closer look.
Here, he’s guarding Zach Lavine, and here and here and here, Zach couldn’t do anything and needed an illegal screen.
And Zach isn’t the only offensive player Ausar has pressed.
Now every good defender would want to press stars, it takes them out of their rhythm, it forces them to spend more energy, so why don’t they? Because what ends up also happening is you get beat, stars draw fouls because you use your hands and not your feet.
So how can he keep pressing them? You guessed it. He’s that quick.
Ausar is a freak of nature, something like we’ve never seen allowing him to do special things which we’ll get into piece #2, but even when he’s wrong on which way the player is going, he’s able to recover. He already understands where the ball will be, when the player is gathering.
These instincts for chasing down the ball happens with every part of his game. He’s the only rookie averaging a double double and yes he leads guards in rebounding already.
And not just rebounds, he’s almost averaging as many blocks as Wembyanama. But the crazy thing is, he’s actually making several rookie mistakes, ball watching, losing track of his man, getting lost on team’s offensive schemes.
Like the time he blocks Jimmy Butler, he actually lost complete track him, but was so quick that he made up for it. But before we get to his biggest strength physically, the rest of his game breaking build let him do things that complete the package.
Amen, his twin brother, has a reported vertical of 44 inches, what? Ausar supposedly has a 38 inch vertical, but looking at these clips, he’s floating. No seriously, he’s actually floating. I don’t buy the 38 inch vertical, especially when he’s able to hang in the air and finish like this.
but also I watched him running against Tyrese Maxey, who is one of the fastest players in the league today. Tyrese consistently is embarrassing defenders with his speed and then there’s Auasar Thompson, running at the same pace easily to the point that Tyrese just gives up on chasing, but ok Tyrese might not just wanna spend energy on defense. What about on offense? Tyrese Maxey gets some space with a screen, steps back. Ausar catches up and blocks him.
And even here, Ausar is recovering from collapsing, closes out, then immediately changes direction to stay with Maxey on the drive.
While his length helps, his speed is what makes all of those parts of his game look like he’s a cheat code.
But all this leads us to piece #3, Ausar is doing things we’ve never seen. Like I said, he’s the only player on this list that’s not a big man.
And he’s the only guard that’s close to averaging double digit rebounds. While he might be listed as a forward, Ausar has always played point guard and is a ball handler that’s being forced to play minutes at the 3 because the Pistons already have so many guards. And there’s only been 3 guards since the beginning of the league that averaged over 10 rebounds a game and Ausar might be the 4th.
There’s never been a guard that averages 2 blocks a game, in fact, the highest amount was Michael Jordan in 1988 with 1.6. Ausar is at 1.8 right now. - กีฬา
Love making break down videos like this! What else do you wanna see next?

Jesus loves you and may God bless you
Can you pls do Dereck lively

ur not slick buddy
if ausar gets his shot fixed, hed be an all star
He’s channeling his inner Dennis Rodman
I can watch ausar defensive highlights all day
Him being this great at defense so early on is scary
@@bigbangbasketball his instincts are insane
We got a kawhi 2.0, two KD 2.0s in this draft and the thunder,magic AND TIMBERWOLVES might be top 5 teams in their conference all before gta 6😭🔥🔥
great hands, really good reflexes, great hustle and exceptional defensive instincts along with his physical attributes = future dpoy
"While only being 6'7 tall"
Things you only hear in NBA
Great vid MJ. We need player like Ausar!
RAW RAW RAW
Ausar is playing like Kawhi and Jimmy Butler when they came into the league, if he works on his offense he is going to be a scary 2 way player
the league isnt used to good defence so thats why ausar is so dominant and i love it
Good timing boss man 👊🏾.RAW!
No, not something that we never seen, he actually looks like a young Rodman in defensive end, the lateral quickness, the crazy leap speed, that's worm exactly like this early with the pistons, a gum you can never shake off. I even think piston fans should make a request that number 10 is unretired for him.
Exactly what I thought, looks like rodman during his early days, when he was more than just a menacing rebounder
keep up the good work dude
Good to see Monty see the talent and put him right back to the bench warmer position. Can’t let the this young guy ruin 29 looses in a row record.
It's too early to know who is the better twin, Amen or Ausor. Amen had a freak ankle injury a couple of games in and is just now ready to come back. In a G League game last week, Amen had 29 pts, 16 rebs and 11 assists.

A 6"7 guard is huge. Dude is an anomaly is the NBA norm. Can guard all perimeter players like it's nothing.
He’d be such a good piece for a contending team it’s sad he landed in Detroit
Detroit gwt hype! they finally get a draft beast! Hopefully things lead on from there!
RAW GREAT VID MJ
Whoever's reading this, I pray that whatever you're going through gets better and whatever you're struggling with or worrying about is going to be fine and that everyone has a fantastic day!
Amen🙏🏿
Matisse Thybulle 2.0 atm....let's see if he can develop any semblance of a shot, which will determine the trajectory of the rest of his career
Way better of a prospect. Pistons are thinking future all star and dpoy
the only person who can stop ausar thompson is monty williams.
He out there playing volleyball 🏐🏐🏐🏐
I love his underrated Rn because the most hype rookie is Wemby
Good thing he’s playing all this great defense on a 7 win team
Trying to score on Ausar would be terrible experience
Speak for yourself.
I was gone say something but this is old cuz Wemby stats are more of what we never seen. But I like the Thompson twins. Also, at this time Wemby is only guarding the perimeter. Would like to know if Asur has more 3 pointer blocks than Wemby
raw!
Im disappointed that this MJ2kallday l doesn't pop up at least as flight mike (mic check 1_2.. Some drafts kings stuff, then a que......
Pistons throwing his rookie campaign off
He's even better than it seems because he gets the worst whistle on both ends of the floor.
RAW
these clips remind me of tony allen
he needs to be put back into the starting lineup, why was the man benched? maybe rookie mistakes i’m not sure i haven’t watched much of him
Do Jordan Hawkins next
this years draft was actually mental
RW fasho I love when my pistons get some love
Tsssss he hasn’t even adjusted to the nba and is still dominating
Dlo gave him 35🤣🤣🤣🤣.yall ik he is really good at defense it was just funny to me how he was struggling to guard Dlo
The fact that impresses you should be sad 😂😂😂 he’s a rookie and dlo is in year 8 or 9 and that’ll be dlo season high 🤦🏽♂️
Dlo can't give 35 to anyone, he somehow gets 35 while someone is guarding. He's the man who lost rights to number 0 vs Nick young
Not potentially him, his team yes he did but not on him
@@facundofortes7912 honestly dlo dropping 35 isn’t even amusing bc we all kno how ass he really is, maybe not ass but he not that good
Watch the games
My man straight up destroyed Giddey with that one 😂
He reminds me so much of Rodman
Yo bro don’t forget that team is 2-18
They did just get their leading scorer and best perimeter shooter back from injury. In addition this same player, Bogdanovich, brings veteran leadership to a very young team. They are a poorly constructed team with minimal shooting talent in a shooter’s league. And they turn the ball over way too much especially in the 4th quarter.
W Giddy stray 😭😭😭😭😭
Long and fast, Ausar will put you on your-
HE IS LIKE 2 - WAY SLASHING PLAYMAKER FROM 2K20 LOL
The Thomson bothers are so RAW its cool to see
Modern Day Shawn Marion but even better! If you know, you know!
It’s like a defensive minded Kevin Durant 😂
raw
Ben Wallace would be proud!
Raw
The twins needa team up in their prime
We love raw players!! 🤤
Aye 🌈🏳️🌈✋️🛑
he will be a dpoy candidate in the NBA one day! in today's NBA if a defender can't outright block your shot or steal the ball then they play what's called a mirror defense but there's only a few guys who are athletic and quick enough to do it! Jrue holiday is one and believe it or not Alex Caruso does this a lot as well! it's a combination of foot speed, hand speed and just defensive instinct and iq! the piston's just played the bucks 2 games in a row and in that first game he was on dame a lot! dame still had 45 lol but there was a moment in the first quarter with 2 mins left dame came off a screen form bobby Portis at the top of the key... Ausar lost his footing when the screen was set and kind of fell but had the instinct to put both his hands up before his upper body was actually upright and he just got his feet under him and recovered to get a great contest! shot still went in but i was at that game and to see that! I was like oh... he's a little different than the rest of us lol! the kid is special!
Kawhi with a personality
the josh giddy joke
Too bad the Pistons record will get more recognition than Ausar’s game
Raw. He is really good defensively but the NBA doesn't care much about defense unfortunately
He have currently 1.3 Blocks per games (1 steal, 2 Turnovers)... It's (very) good but it's absolutly NOT at the same level than Wembanyama 2.6 Blocks (Wemby have actually 2.7) as the video says.
wowowow
0:48 i said ayo in my head 1 second before u played that soundbit. 😢
There’s only 5 players in NBA history to record over 40 rebounds and 10 blocks in their first 10 games? Wow 4rbs and 1blk per game? He's on another level /s
Every team are going to eye on him after his rookie contract probably Lakers,Clippers,Nuggets or the Pacers
Literally everyone is beating him
The team didn’t win a game in the month of November Monty needs to play him more
too strong
Didn’t someone make this video already?
who is guy trying to be the next Ben Wallace
wheres amen?? the brother drafted ahead of him not doing as well
Get this man to Kawhi squad immediately
then why can't they win games?
Why NBA stars can't beat this rookie who's 2-18 overall and on a 17 game losing streak. Some of yall are beyond ridiculous. 🙄👎🏽
But he's stuck on this Pistons team that has no sense of direction.
Bro Pistons are loaded .
Oh yea “holmgreen”… forgot about that guy 🙄
Why Adam silver got one of the smoothest daps I’ve ever seen from a white man 😂
Sup with all the gay references when we live in a world where a tomato can identify as a t-rex?
And now, Detroit isn't playing him as much...I don't know why.
So basically someone like MKG...? Good defender (a bit better than MKG), no offense/outside shooting or fts
Didn't Murray made the all defense of team in his rookie season 🤔
His second season he did
@@Life_Basketball oh alright 👍🏿
"Why NBA Stars Can't Beat This Rookie" automatic click bait
Tyrese still broke him💀
He may be on a bad Pistons team. But he's getting more opportunity than his twin brother whose on a better Rockets team.
He hasn’t played since November 1st due to injury.
@@cycleoflife565 True. But even so, he is averaging 12 less minutes than Ausar on the games he did play. And he isn't a go-to option for scoring.
@@johnnybadmen3473 Amen was seen as a point guard coming into the season. It isn’t likely that he’s going to beat out FVV or Jalen Green especially with him having only played in 4 games and zero of them in more than a month. You can’t compete for a position or minutes if you’re out injured.
If you noticed recently Ausar is no longer starting and his minutes have been reduced. The coach is struggling to find a winning combination to end their month long losing streak. They didn’t win a single game in November!
@cycleoflife565 Ausar is a guard too. Detroit just has been playing him as a forward because they have a log jam in the guard position. And Monty has been playing with the lineup because of this losing streak. The only players consistently starting now is Cade and Duren. Some games Ausar may be 20 minutes and another game he may play 30. It just depends on the team and Ausar fouling situation.
I'd like to see the Rockets do something similar with Amen when he comes back.
Using the jimmy highroller music🤦♂️
His foul trouble needs to be worked on.
we need to focus on players skills not their outidse personal life.
When his brother comes back the rockets will be a whole problem!!!!
Because Ausar is a Sun God
Dennis Rodman
they jus lost 28 ina row💀💀💀
Hi
Where is Wiseman hie teammate?
The unfortunate thing is that the pistons are bootycheeks 😂
Kobe?👀
yo
Somethings fishy i watched another nba youtuber make the same points and graphics
Rawwr! Lol
This kid is more like Grant Hill then all these comments comparing him to Rodman. Grant Hill 2.0
He ain’t wemby 🗣️🗣️🗣️
We Can't Take You Seriously Dawg
Ausar Thompson doesn't deserve to be on a losing team like the Detroit Pistons🙅🏻🗑️
