Can't tell if this is for real or start of trade negotiations.

Untouchable means franchise player, and in order to be a franchise player he has to be able to shoot outside of the paint. |

Remember Trevor Ariza's brutal form as a rookie with the Knicks and how he cleaned that up to be a very good 3-D player later in career - his was one of the biggest improvements I remember. |

As a comparison, KAT is a world class shooter, and a very good rebounder but really deficient on D. The opposite can maybe be said of Amen. World class defender and probably headed for defensive player of the year rannge with ball handling and tons of downhill capability while being a passer. Does he have it in him to fix that shot. Mostly that’s all that’s left if you project things out a bit. Official sponsor of the PURE KNICKS LOVE Program

He flashes that floater when the rim is walled off. Ausar still looks lost when he can't get to the rim. We saw it a few times in the Detroit series. Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right.

That's why he's mostly untouchable --- too good and so young. |
