"I'm basically out on their young core...I dont think they're good enough.. you would take Dylan Harper over Şengün, Thompson, Smith or Reed..." - Jason Timpf[@hoopstonite] on #Rockets young core via The Hoops Tonight Podcast 🥶🥶🥶 👎👎👎 Agree? #Allfire

Asked Amen Thompson if other parts of his game are underappreciated bc people focus so much on his jumper: "They gotta talk about something. I feel like I'm really good at a lot of things. I'm really impactful on the court. It's fun to do that I guess -- pick on that one thing. But I work on it every day. I know I'm going to be a good shooter. So, it doesn't matter to me."
