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.

Ausar. He’s gonna get love from all three of their ball handlers and be the only “sure thing” on Detroits roster till they can figure out Cade/Ivey in the backcourt and Duren/BeefStew in the front court.

Amen’s the better player IMO but he’s been drafted by a team that values Jalen Green, Jabari, and Sengun more. He’s gonna have to work much harder to develop correctly but if he does will be an All NBA player.

The spacing in a Cade/Ivey/Ausar/Stewart/Duren lineup is atrocious. They might bench Ivey or Ausar to start a shooter at the wing

I agree the spacing is bad, Monty seems to like Ausur and will likely pull two of the other guys out for spacing, since Ausur is the “best” shooter outside of Cade in that lineup.
