Will Amen Thompson become an All-Star next season?

Can Amen Thompson become an All-Star next season and truly make a fortune and become one of the All-Stars?

Perhaps for Rockets fans, in addition to seeing Durant help the team win the O'Brien Cup, they also hope to see Amen take a step further.

But for an NBA player, being selected as an All-Star is never a matter of course, which means that he can stand out among the players and also needs excellent team record to support him.

The primary prerequisite for a player to become an All-Star is to produce gorgeous personal data. After all, in most cases, data is the embodiment of a player's greatest ability.

The prerequisite for making good personal data is to have a huge number of shots in a team. Even if there is no unlimited fire, at least 15 guaranteed shots every night...

In other words, a team leader or a second leader often has a higher probability of becoming an All-Star.

For Amen Thompson, if Charlotte Hornets' point guard Ball is treated as the first time, it would be a foregone conclusion to become an All-Star next season...

But the problem is that looking at the Rockets' lineup next season, the team's offensive environment will be a bit crowded and not very friendly for Amen.

The Rockets' lineup configuration next season is strong and almost impeccable. The team is aimed at the championship and everyone knows that Amen is very strong, right?

In other words, when the Rockets were starting with Durant, Shin Kyung, Ethan and Van Vreet, there were many people who were responsible for the team's siege and deciding the city. At this time, Amen's choice to attack was naturally far behind Durant and others.

Apart from this, Amen is not the core of the Rockets' tactical. It can be foreseeable that when Shin Kyung and Durant play the core of the team, Amen is more like an auxiliary role.

We can only say that Amen personally performed efficiently but the data was fair.

In today's small ball era, when a player's long-range shooting ability is often the top priority, Amen does the opposite and seems alternative -

He does not need to rely on three-pointers, but strong defense makes those smart and tough teams rush to recruit him, and from the first day he enters the arena, the team's defensive efficiency rating can be immediately improved. Amen Thompson, 22, played in 67 games last season in the second season of his career - 32.3 minutes per game, and averaged 14.1 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.3 blocks. The three shooting percentages were 55.7%, 27.5%, and 68.4%, respectively, and the real shooting percentage was 60.1%, and the future was promising.

It is worth mentioning that when Amen defends the All-Star guard, he can successfully limit the opponent's shooting percentage to 40.7%, and his three-point shooting percentage is only 25.6%, which shows how excellent his defensive attainment is.

For Amen, there is no doubt that the potential is unlimited and the future is promising.
