Which Thompson Twin Will End Up Being Better? Amen or Ausar? (alien.top)

I've been fascinated with the Thompson twins since they were at OTE, and both had a good preseason showing. Which one do you think ends up being better? Both are incredible athletes with massive upsides as defenders/playmakers, especially at the PG spot, but they are in very different situations on their respective teams.

i’m personally taking amen. as i understand, he’s the better athlete and passer, while ausar is the better shooter. given both are similar in terms of being freak athletes positioning to leverage that as passers and defenders, i’m taking the twin who specializes more heavily over the generalist, the former archetype seems more consistently valuable

Ausar is a better shooter but he’s still far from good as well. And Amen has been better than expected as a shooter so far. He can make his free throws and 3s off the catch

yeah that’s exactly what i mean. i’d rather have the thompson twin that’s better at the thompson twin specialties than the one who’s a slightly less shitty shooter

Better athlete?
