It'll be a case-by-case type of situation with OTE prospects, but one could say the same about any player from any university or background. If a guy can hoop, he can hoop. Ausar (and Amen) can hoop.
The 1st play shown is a great choice. It shows Audur Thompson's superior STAMINA vs his peers. His CONDITIONING is clearly on ANOTHER LEVEL. Every other player is showing signs of FATIGUE.
@@FloorandCeiling That's the same comp Troy Weaver metioned, but it was Iggy when he was with the 76ers. Most people don't remember how good he was when he was a younger player.
Would've also been a good fit, but I think Ausar will thrive playing off Cade Cunningham and Jaden Ivey. I also think this move relieves some pressure off Cade, since Ausar is a capable secondary/tertiary playmaker who will be able to provide Cunningham with easy looks as well (probably spotting up from three, I'm guessing).
@@FloorandCeiling hope you are right. The problem is that he can not shoot. On the other hand Hendricks has a very good shoot for his size, almost 40% shooting for 3points. I guess Troy knows better, we shall see.
I love the Thompson Twins. I really actually do, but I don't know what people are not watching,. They are really athletic. I will give them that but d*** if you're gonna sit there. And say oh we watched tape on Kobe,? Why are you not working on trying to be a 3 level score with the body type that you guys have? Are you kidding me? Problem I have with both brothers in the games I've watched highlights film, And the problem I have they do not have a jump shot, that is going to help you in the NBA, Kobe talked about this. And this is the reason why AAU is failing our young up-and-coming basketball players. , European players are going to take over the league while we're over here. Talking about some players that are very athletic but don't have nothing else to them. I want both twins to last in this league but they need to get a jump shot and become a 3 level score be able to score with your back. To the basket karma pull up from 15 to 20 right in someone's grill, not always trying to blow past people because I'm telling you if defenses figure them out they're not. Gonna be able to score in the league and they're not gonna last that long
Without a doubt, Ausar has ideal measurements for basketball. 6'7'' and a wingspan of 7'. He's quick, he's athletic, he has a good first step,... But I don't understand what he has trained this year. His shooting is very mediocre, he loses a lot of balls in a very uncompetitive championship and defends almost like Hardem. No doubt for tools and skills he will be very high in the draft, but he doesn't convince me.
I think Ausar's shooting, decision making, and ballhandling all improved from year 1 to year 2 of his OTE experience. The concerns you have are not unique, though. I think it's fair to be concerned about the level of competition (which affected his motor like I mentioned in the video, since he could just dominate whenever) and his shooting. At the same time, I believe that Ausar's strengths will offset his weaknesses most of the time. His defense will take a bit to get up to speed, but that's the case for every rookie, and Ausar has a solid floor given his physical tools. I also think he's further along in his shot development than he is given credit for - and he's a willing shooter, which is also important.
Everyone who loves Ausar & defends his shooting always says "But he was a 40% 3P shooter in the playoffs". Well.. not really. He had a .384 3P% & a .447fg%. To me that doesn't change the narrative. NTM his last 3 reg season games he went 1-12 on 3pt'rs.
Poor shooter, cant go to his left, doesnt initiate contact at rim, poor FT shooter, doesnt have Amens burst. Wont play PG. How is he a consensus Top 8 pick?I dont see it. In reality he probably goes at end of lottery.
Those are all concerns, but I think Ausar is a better shooter than he's given credit for. I saw your other comment too, but I think his form and willingness goes a long way. I'm not sure he ever becomes a gunner or anything, but he'll be fine in the long run making just about enough threes. Then, I do think he's probably a slightly less imposing athlete than Amen. But that still makes him an athlete close to the top 1% imo. He'd be the most athletic guy on a lot of NBA rosters right off the bat. Then, I think Ausar is a little more scalable than his brother. He's more used to and versatile playing off the ball, be it as a cutter or spotting up, for instance. I'll have a quick video soon on what I think the main differences are between Amen and Ausar as it relates to the NBA. Thanks for watching!
I'm waiting for that video showing the differences between the twins, because one problem I have in assessing them properly is that they are so identical that it's hard for me to tell them apart.
Holy Sm😮kes, what a nice player. This kid has that “it” factor. The summer league really eliminated the OTE stigma for me!

*AUSUR
Ausar
Thanks. I really needed this to help me get through waiting for the lottery today 😅😅😅
Lol I know how you feel. Enjoy!
Great vid! Give me a player comparison .. or shades of who you see
Thanks for watching! Appreciate it.
Ausar (and Amen) is a highly unique player, but there are shades of early career Andre Iguodala.
@@FloorandCeiling That's the same comp Troy Weaver metioned, but it was Iggy when he was with the 76ers. Most people don't remember how good he was when he was a younger player.
Still believe that Hedricks was a much better player for the Pistons.

@@MrAristhantrue I wanted Hendricks too, but I believe Asaur can get Cade good looks because of his creation ability, like my guy said above
These highlights from the G-league and OTE looks like pickup games at my local LA Fitness. SMH
Orlando magic we need him ..let's get it...
I think it’s very possible 👀 check out my latest mock draft video!
another player that can’t shoot? i dunno
@@JohnDoe-fi2ot I don't think he's gonna be a non-shooter
He’s the shooter twin!!!!

Shot 40% from three in the playoffs

Why exactly are you going out of your way to point out these minor details? The internet scouts are out of control.
Poor shooter, cant go to his left, doesnt initiate contact at rim, poor FT shooter, doesnt have Amens burst. Wont play PG. How is he a consensus Top 8 pick?I dont see it. In reality he probably goes at end of lottery.

@@FloorandCeiling Thanks. I appreciate the detailed breakdown. Looking forward to the Thompson Bros vid.
@@FloorandCeiling Is he better than Bilal at this point?
